From 0ba16637d8f12fe9ba8388222cfa71fc5206c0f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julius Werner Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2020 20:21:34 -0700 Subject: x86: Put bootblock startup code into .text._start section The initial bootblock assembly code on x86 is just put into the .text section, which just happens to come before all the individual .text.* function sections in the program.ld script. So it tends to be at the start of the image, but if you inserted another linker script section with contents before .text, it would cause a problem. (I'm not sure if it's an architectural requirement for _start16bit to come at the start of the image, but at least its 4K alignment requirement would waste a lot of space if it didn't.) This patch moves the section to .text._start which is the name other architectures use for the code they want in the very front of the image and which is listed first in program.ld.
