The patch titled Subject: sections: move is_kernel_inittext() into sections.h has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is sections-move-is_kernel_inittext-into-sectionsh.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/sections-move-is_kernel_inittext-into-sectionsh.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/sections-move-is_kernel_inittext-into-sectionsh.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Kefeng Wang <wangkefeng.wang@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: sections: move is_kernel_inittext() into sections.h The is_kernel_inittext() and init_kernel_text() are with same functionality, let's just keep is_kernel_inittext() and move it into sections.h, then update all the callers.
