[PATCH 01/27] ARM: KVM: Move the HYP code to its own section

Marc Zyngier marc.zyngier at arm.com
Mon Jan 25 08:38:17 PST 2016


In order to be able to spread the HYP code into multiple compilation
units, adopt a layout similar to that of arm64:
- the HYP text is emited in its own section (.hyp.text)
- two linker generated symbols are use to identify the boundaries
  of that section

No functionnal change.
