I looked into it some more.... the patch converts this section: . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); .data_nosave : AT(ADDR(.data_nosave) - LOAD_OFFSET) { __nosave_begin = .; *(.data.nosave) . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); __nosave_end = .; }
to: .data_nosave : AT(ADDR(.data_nosave) - LOAD_OFFSET) { NOSAVE_DATA } If you expand the NOSAVE_DATA macro, you get: .data_nosave : AT(ADDR(.data_nosave) - LOAD_OFFSET) { . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__nosave_begin) = .; *(.data.nosave) . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__nosave_end) = .; } If you ignore the VMLINUX_SYMBOL, the only difference is moving the ALIGN inside the brackets. If I move the ALIGN back where it was, then the warning goes away. But other sections moved the ALIGN without an issue. Could it be a compiler problem? We are using version 4.0.0 (DENX ELDK 4.1 4.0.0).
