[PATCH v3, part4 07/39] UML: normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds

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

 



Normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds to conform usage
guidelines from include/asm-generic/sections.h.

1) Use _text to mark the start of the kernel image including the head
text, and _stext to mark the start of the .text section.
2) Export mandatory global variables __bss_stop.
3) Adjust __init_begin and __init_end to avoid acrossing .text and
   .data sections.

Hi all,
	Sorry for my mistake that my previous patch series has been screwed up.
So I regenerate a third version and also set up a git tree at:
	git://github.com/jiangliu/linux.git mem_init
	Any help to review and test are welcomed!

	Regards!
	Gerry
