The patch titled uml: fix static linking has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was uml-fix-static-linking.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: uml: fix static linking From: Jeff Dike <jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx> During a static link, ld has started putting a .note section in the .uml.setup.init section. This has the result that the UML setups begin with 32 bytes of garbage and UML crashes immediately on boot. This patch creates a specific .note section for ld to drop this stuff into.
