Subject: openrisc: Add _text symbol to fix ksym build error
From: Stafford Horne <shorne@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 086cc1c31a0ec075dac02425367c871bb65bc2c9 ]
The build robot reports:
.tmp_kallsyms1.o: In function `kallsyms_relative_base':
>> (.rodata+0x8a18): undefined reference to `_text'
This is when using 'make alldefconfig'. Adding this _text symbol to mark
the start of the kernel as in other architecture fixes this.
