10 //config: bool "Use the end of BSS page"
13 //config: Attempt to reclaim a small unused part of BSS.
15 //config: Executables have the following parts:
16 //config: = read-only executable code and constants, also known as "text"
17 //config: = read-write data
18 //config: = non-initialized (zeroed on demand) data, also known as "bss"
20 //config: At link time, "text" is padded to a full page. At runtime, all "text"
21 //config: pages are mapped RO and executable.
22 //config: "Data" starts on the next page boundary, but is not padded
23 //config: to a full page at the end. "Bss" starts wherever "data" ends.
24 //config: At runtime, "data" pages are mapped RW and they are file-backed
25 //config: (this includes a small portion of "bss" which may live in the last
26 //config: partial page of "data").
27 //config: Pages which are fully in "bss" are mapped to anonymous memory.
29 //config: "Bss" end is usually not page-aligned. There is an unused space
30 //config: in the last page. Linker marks its start with the "_end" symbol.
32 //config: This option will attempt to use that space for bb_common_bufsiz1[]
33 //config: array. If it fits after _end, it will be used, and COMMON_BUFSIZE
34 //config: will be enlarged from its guaranteed minimum size of 1 kbyte.
35 //config: This may require recompilation a second time, since value of _end
36 //config: is known only after final link.
38 //config: If you are getting a build error like this:
39 //config: appletlib.c:(.text.main+0xd): undefined reference to '_end'
40 //config: disable this option.
