/* Add SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT to linker script (found in busybox_unstripped.out):
2
## .rodata : { *(.rodata SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(.rodata.*) .gnu.linkonce.r.*) }
3
## .data : { *(.data SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(.data.*) .gnu.linkonce.d.*) }
4
## .bss : { *(.bss SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(.bss.*) .gnu.linkonce.b.*) }
5
## This will eliminate most of the padding (~3kb).
6
## Hmm, "ld --sort-section alignment" should do it too.
8
## There is a ld hack which is meant to decrease disk usage
9
## at the cost of more RAM usage (??!!) in standard ld script:
10
## . = ALIGN (0x1000) - ((0x1000 - .) & (0x1000 - 1)); . = DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN (0x1000, 0x1000);
12
## . = ALIGN (0x1000); . = DATA_SEGMENT_ALIGN (0x1000, 0x1000);
13
## to unconditionally align .data to the next page boundary,
14
## instead of "next page, plus current offset in this page"
17
/* To reduce the number of VMAs each bbox process has,
18
## move *(.bss SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(.bss.*) ...)
19
## part from .bss : {...} block to .data : { ... } block.
20
## (This usually increases .data section by only one page).
