From 9e565292270a2d55524be38835104c564ac8f795 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 21:43:03 -0700 Subject: x86: Use .cfi_sections for assembly code The newer assemblers support the .cfi_sections directive so we can put the CFI from .S files into the .debug_frame section that is preserved in unstripped vmlinux and in separate debuginfo, rather than the .eh_frame section that is now discarded by vmlinux.lds.S.
