    x86: unify arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.lds · 51b26ada
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Look at the:
    
    	diff -u arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.lds
    
    output and realize that they're basially exactly the same except for
    trivial naming differences, and the fact that the 64-bit version has a
    "pgtable" thing.
    
    So unify them.
    
    There's some trivial cleanup there (make the output format a Kconfig thing
    rather than doing #ifdef's for it, and unify both 32-bit and 64-bit BSS
    end to "_ebss", where 32-bit used to use the traditional "_end"), but
    other than that it's really very mindless and straigt conversion.
    
    For example, I think we should aim to remove "startup_32" vs "startup_64",
    and just call it "startup", and get rid of one more difference. I didn't
    do that.
    
    Also, notice the comment in the unified vmlinux.lds.S talks about
    "head_64" and "startup_32" which is an odd and incorrect mix, but that was
    actually what the old 64-bit only lds file had, so the confusion isn't
    new, and now that mixing is arguably more accurate thanks to the
    vmlinux.lds.S file being shared between the two cases ;)
