OK, seems reasonable. Eric Biederman solved this by having NOTE/ENDNOTE
(or something like that) in his "bzImage with ELF header" patch, but I
don't remember it being used in any way which is incompatible with using
a CPP macro.
I can't find that patch, does NOTE/ENDNOTE just do the push/pop .note
section?
That would solve the problem with the first argument of the macro being
a string but the final argument could still be for .asciz note contents.
It looks like:
.macro note name, type
.balign 4
.int 2f - 1f # n_namesz
.int 4f - 3f # n_descsz
.int \type # n_type
.balign 4
1: .asciz "\name"
2: .balign 4
3:
.endm
.macro enote
4: .balign 4
.endm
so it allows you to put arbitrary stuff in the desc part of the note.
The downside is that its a little more cumbersome syntactically for the
common case.
