Subject: arm: provide _sdata and __bss_stop in the vmlinux.lds.S file
From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>
_sdata and __bss_stop are common symbols defined by many architectures and
made available to the kernel via asm-generic/sections.h. Kmemleak uses
these symbols when scanning the data sections.
