I've run into a few compilation issues with linker tables support [0] [1] on only a few architectures:
blackfin - compiler issue it seems, I have a work around now in place arm - some alignment issue - still need to iron this out powerpc - issue with including <asm/sections.h> on <asm/jump_labels.h> The issue with powerpc can be replicated easily with the patch below, and compilation fails even on a 'make defconfig' configuration, the issues are recurring include header ordering issues. I've given this some tries to fix but am still a bit bewildered how to best do this without affecting non-powerpc compilations. The patch below replicates the changes in question, it does not include the linker table work at all, it just includes <asm/sections.h> instead of <asm/tables.h> to reduce and provide an example of the issues observed. The list of errors are also pretty endless... so was hoping some power folks might be able to take a glance if possible. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
