This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tools/nolibc/arch: mark the _start symbol as weak to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tools-nolibc-arch-mark-the-_start-symbol-as-weak.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 747c3f52dc5c0f8df4203b93146b2365ec1dd1e7 Author: Willy Tarreau <w@xxxxxx> Date: Mon Feb 7 17:23:45 2022 +0100 tools/nolibc/arch: mark the _start symbol as weak [ Upstream commit dffeb81af5fe5eedccf5ea4a8a120d8c3accd26e ] By doing so we can link together multiple C files that have been compiled with nolibc and which each have a _start symbol.
