Its filename is uml-normalize-global-variables-exported-by-vmlinuxlds.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/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Jiang Liu <liuj97@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: UML: normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds Normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds to conform usage guidelines from include/asm-generic/sections.h. 1) Use _text to mark the start of the kernel image including the head text, and _stext to mark the start of the .text section. 2) Export mandatory global variables __bss_stop. 3) Adjust __init_begin and __init_end to avoid acrossing .text and .data sections.
