    MIPS: OCTEON: omit ELF NOTE segments · 3bfb7224
    David Daney authored
    OCTEON Pre-SDK-1.8.1 bootloaders can not handle PT_NOTE program headers,
    so do not emit them.
    
    Before the patch:
    
    $ readelf --program-headers octeon-vmlinux
    
    Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
    Entry point 0xffffffff815d09d0
    There are 2 program headers, starting at offset 64
    
    Program Headers:
      Type           Offset             VirtAddr           PhysAddr
                     FileSiz            MemSiz              Flags  Align
      LOAD           0x0000000000001000 0xffffffff81100000 0xffffffff81100000
                     0x0000000000b57f80 0x0000000001b86360  RWE    1000
      NOTE           0x00000000004e02e0 0xffffffff815df2e0 0xffffffff815df2e0
                     0x0000000000000024 0x0000000000000024  R      4
    
    After the patch:
    
    $ readelf --program-headers octeon-vmlinux
    
    Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
    Entry point 0xffffffff815d09d0
    There are 1 program headers, starting at offset 64
    
    Program Headers:
      Type           Offset             VirtAddr           PhysAddr
                     FileSiz            MemSiz              Flags  Align
      LOAD           0x0000000000001000 0xffffffff81100000 0xffffffff81100000
                     0x0000000000b57f80 0x0000000001b86360  RWE    1000
    
    The patch was tested on DSR-1000N router.
