From e1be5ae2f485989f88ae9af92a97e0577b033155 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Durbin Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:53:41 -0500 Subject: rmodule: put all code/data bits in one section While debugging a crash it was discovered that ld was inserting address space for sections that were empty depending on section address boundaries. This led to the assumption breaking down that on-disk payload (code/data bits) was contiguous with the address space. When that assumption breaks down relocation updates change the wrong memory. Fix this by making the rmodule.ld linker script put all code/data bits into a payload section.
