From ec556271bbb33809b73cdb238f8cb357345908e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2019 14:13:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Rename "notes" PT_NOTE to "note" The Program Header identifiers are internal to the linker scripts. In preparation for moving the NOTES segment declaration into RO_DATA, standardize the identifier for the PT_NOTE entry to "note" as used by all other architectures that emit PT_NOTE. Note that there was discussion about changing all architectures to use "notes" instead, but I prefer to avoid that at this time. Changing only powerpc is the smallest change to standardize the entire kernel. And while this standardization does use singular "note" for a section that has more than one note in it, this is just an internal identifier. It matches the ELF "PT_NOTE", and is 4 characters (like "text", and "data") for pretty alignment. The more exposed macro, "NOTES", use the more sensible plural wording.
