Subject: [PATCH v4 04/17] vmlinux.lds.h: Add .symtab, .strtab, and .shstrtab to ELF_DETAILS
Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2020 23:18:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200629061840.4065483-5-keescook@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200629061840.4065483-1-keescook@chromium.org>

When linking vmlinux with LLD, the synthetic sections .symtab, .strtab,
and .shstrtab are listed as orphaned. Add them to the ELF_DETAILS section
so there will be no warnings when --orphan-handling=warn is used more
widely. (They are added above comment as it is the more common
order[1].)

ld.lld: warning: <internal>:(.symtab) is being placed in '.symtab'
ld.lld: warning: <internal>:(.shstrtab) is being placed in '.shstrtab'
ld.lld: warning: <internal>:(.strtab) is being placed in '.strtab'
