The patch titled
     Subject: vmlinux.lds: add missing VMLINUX_SYMBOL macros
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     vmlinuxlds-add-missing-vmlinux_symbol-macros.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Jessica Yu <jeyu@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: vmlinux.lds: add missing VMLINUX_SYMBOL macros

When __{start,end}_ro_after_init is referenced from C code, we run into the
following build errors on blackfin:

  kernel/extable.c:169: undefined reference to `__start_ro_after_init'
  kernel/extable.c:169: undefined reference to `__end_ro_after_init'

The build error is due to the fact that blackfin is one of the few arches
that prepends an underscore '_' to all symbols defined in C.  Fix this by
wrapping __{start,end}_ro_after_init in vmlinux.lds.h with
VMLINUX_SYMBOL(), which adds the necessary prefix for arches that have
HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
