similar to: [PATCH 0/4] Improve linker scripts

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> TL;DR: The section aligment in linker scripts messed-up the memory mapping needed for the compression / decompression to work. The bug with gcc 5 is not trivial, I'll do my best to explain it here. Basically, there are two memory mappings of the code. One in "virtual memory", and one in "load memory". The one in

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> Some linker scripts were splitted into i386 and x86_64 versions in commit d8eede3f2a360163235fad222a0190cd7c5bef38 but older scripts were left there.

(Tested using a Linux bzImage, with and without an initrd.) Per shuffle_and_boot documentation, %ecx must contain the descriptor list byte length, but it's set with such list end address instead.

The PE headers of the generated efi file were quite buggy. And since OVMF perform a few consistency checks, syslinux was unable to run on it. I don't pretend to have a thorough understanding of the PE+ headers, some bugs may remain. :) Celelibi (4): efi: Fix PE header field rva_and_sizes_nr efi: Location, size and alignment of .text section efi: Useless relocations in PE file efi: PE

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> For the compression / decompression to succeed, the sections layout must be the same between the virtual memory and load memory. The section alignment was kept in sync by introducing aligment that should be greater or equal to the actual section alignment. This patch compute the load memory addresses of the sections so that the layout is the

Since getting core dumps seems to be difficult sometimes, especially with login processes, I've now added code to log the backtrace when Dovecot crashes in some assert check (or some other reason why it decides to abort()). This code works with Linux and Solaris, but I don't know about BSDs. Apparently there exists libexecinfo library which could be used. I think this code could

So, is everyone happy with this smerge of Ingo and Gerd's work? Reposted below.
