From 6f8f0dc980028e98ae339876a8403edae4d20e39 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arvind Sankar Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2020 18:21:29 -0500 Subject: x86/vmlinux: Drop unneeded linker script discard of .eh_frame Now that .eh_frame sections for the files in setup.elf and realmode.elf are not generated anymore, the linker scripts don't need the special output section name /DISCARD/ any more. Remove the one in the main kernel linker script as well, since there are no .eh_frame sections already, and fix up a comment referencing .eh_frame. Update the comment in asm/dwarf2.h referring to .eh_frame so it continues to make sense, as well as being more specific.
