When statically linked, the .text section in UML kernels is not page aligned, causing it to share a page with the executable headers. As .text and the executable headers have different permissions, this causes the kernel to wish to map the same page twice (once as headers with r-- permissions, once as .text with r-x permissions), causing a segfault, and a nasty message printed to the host kernel's dmesg: "Uhuuh, elf segment at 0000000060000000 requested but the memory is mapped already" By aligning the .text to a page boundary (as in the dynamically linked version in dyn.lds.S), there is no such overlap, and the kernel runs correctly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
