[PATCH 02/14] efi/libstub: arm64: use hidden attribute for struct screen_info reference

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



To prevent the compiler from emitting absolute references to screen_info
when building position independent code, redeclare the symbol with hidden
visibility.
