Cover letter [PATCH 0/7] Re-organize linker layouts
Quoted 12 lines · Russell King - ARM Linux
The following series of patches are targetted at two issues:
1. Fixing large initramfs causing PC24 relocations to become out of range. This fixes both modules and link-time errors.
2. Making the vmlinux easier to pinpoint the various section-built data structures and inspect them later.
For the main kernel, this allows the size of various sections to be determined via objdump -h. This also aids objdump -d and -s usage when asking it to target a particular section.

For the decompressor, it means that it is now trivially possible to copy out the compressed kernel vmlinux image by:
arm-linux-objcopy -O binary -j .piggydata
arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux\
piggy.gzand thereby obtain the binary kernel image (the Image file) which was originally used.
I gave this series a test with my poison initmem patch and all looks well
except for patch 2 as I didn't use a zImage.
