The linker creates and allocates a separate input section for each copy table that it generates. Each copy table symbol is defined with the address value of the input section that contains the corresponding copy table.
The linker generates a unique name for each overlay copy table input section. For example, table(_first_ctbl) would place the copy table for the .first section into an input section called .ovly:_first_ctbl. The linker creates a single input section, .binit, to contain the entire boot-time copy table.
Example 20 illustrates how you can control the placement of the linker-generated copy table sections using the input section names in the linker command file.
