Subject: [PATCH v3 01/29] powerpc: Rename "notes" PT_NOTE to "note"
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2019 14:13:23 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191029211351.13243-2-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191029211351.13243-1-keescook@chromium.org>
The Program Header identifiers are internal to the linker scripts. In
preparation for moving the NOTES segment declaration into RO_DATA,
standardize the identifier for the PT_NOTE entry to "note" as used by
all other architectures that emit PT_NOTE.
Note that there was discussion about changing all architectures to use
"notes" instead, but I prefer to avoid that at this time. Changing only
powerpc is the smallest change to standardize the entire kernel. And
while this standardization does use singular "note" for a section that
has more than one note in it, this is just an internal identifier. It
matches the ELF "PT_NOTE", and is 4 characters (like "text", and "data")
for pretty alignment. The more exposed macro, "NOTES", use the more
sensible plural wording.
