[PATCH] D28761: [ELF] Bypass section type check.

[Evgeny Leviant via llvm-commits]

I didn't get your previous response, so I guess something went wrong with phab.

Regarding your question: I have kernel build script which generates 3 main sections (RX, RO, RW), 
grouping all sections with corresponding access permissions and assigns specific LMA to RX, RW and RO correspondingly. 
Both ld and gold process this script correctly out of the box.

My understanding is that even though init_array (and friends) has special type it's still an RW section,
so I think I should still be able to join it with other RW sections in linker script.

So is it okay to commit this patch as is?

I replied befor, did Phab eat it?

  I would be OK with relaxing it. Please don't remove it completely just
  yet. We already have a case for allocating nobits sections.

  What exactly is the script trying to do? Why is .init_array being merged
  with .data?

Cheers,
