From 03df4f6ee997589a84d5f9492c6419183724c710 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Wed, 2 May 2007 19:27:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] i386: Clean up ELF note generation Three cleanups: 1: ELF notes are never mapped, so there's no need to have any access flags in their phdr. 2: When generating them from asm, tell the assembler to use a SHT_NOTE section type. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this from C. 3: Use ANSI rather than traditional cpp behaviour to stringify the macro argument.
