From 1b2086227cd1a24f748398c22ea9652c383499cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Abbott Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:36:16 -0400 Subject: Optimize the ordering of sections in RW_DATA_SECTION. The old RW_DATA_SECTION had INIT_TASK_DATA (which was more-than-PAGE_SIZE-aligned), followed by a bunch of small alignment stuff, followed by more PAGE_SIZE-aligned stuff, so you wasted memory in the middle of .data re-aligning back up to PAGE_SIZE. This patch sorts the sections by alignment requirements, which should pack them essentially optimally.
