[PATCH v2 2/5] ARM: vmlinux*.lds.S: some decruftification

Nicolas Pitre nicolas.pitre at linaro.org
Tue Aug 29 19:55:44 PDT 2017


Remove stuff from vmlinux.lds.S that is relevant only to the XIP build,
and stuff from vmlinux-xip.lds.S related to self-modifying code that
makes no sense in the XIP case.
