The patch titled ia64: rename _bss to __bss_start has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was rename-_bss-to-__bss_start.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ia64: rename _bss to __bss_start From: Bernhard Walle <bwalle@xxxxxxx> Rename _bss to __bss_start as on other architectures. That makes it possible to use the <linux/sections.h> instead of own declarations. Also add __bss_stop because that symbol exists on other architectures.
