Sorry ... forgot: if it's a const e.g. 

const struct foo bar = {...};

The input section will be .rodata

Also for initialized data, the size of the struct and the compiler -G option will

affect the struct's placement in the .data section or the .sdata section.

By default, if the struct is (better check me on this) 8 bytes or less,

it'll be in .sdata, otherwise in .data.
