Subject: [merged] uml-normalize-global-variables-exported-by-vmlinuxlds.patch removed from -mm tree To: liuj97@xxxxxxxxx,jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx,jiang.liu@xxxxxxxxxx,richard@xxxxxx,viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,mm-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Mon, 08 Jul 2013 12:26:46 -0700 The patch titled Subject: UML: normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was uml-normalize-global-variables-exported-by-vmlinuxlds.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ 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.
