Subject: kallsyms: remove arch specific text and data check
Patch series "sections: Unify kernel sections range check and use", v4.
There are three head files(kallsyms.h, kernel.h and sections.h) which
include the kernel sections range check, let's make some cleanup and unify
them.
1. cleanup arch specific text/data check and fix address boundary check
in kallsyms.h
2. make all the basic/core kernel range check function into sections.h
3. update all the callers, and use the helper in sections.h to simplify
the code
After this series, we have 5 APIs about kernel sections range check in
sections.h
* is_kernel_rodata() --- already in sections.h
* is_kernel_core_data() --- come from core_kernel_data() in kernel.h
* is_kernel_inittext() --- come from kernel.h and kallsyms.h
* __is_kernel_text() --- add new internal helper
* __is_kernel() --- add new internal helper
Note: For the last two helpers, people should not use directly, consider to
use corresponding function in kallsyms.h.
This patch (of 11):
Remove arch specific text and data check after commit 4ba66a976072 ("arch:
remove blackfin port"), no need arch-specific text/data check.
