4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> From: Laura Abbott <labbott@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 568c5fe5a54f2654f5a4c599c45b8a62ed9a2013 upstream. Certain architectures may have the kernel image mapped separately to alias the linear map. Introduce a macro lm_alias to translate a kernel image symbol into its linear alias. This is used in part with work to add CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL support for arm64.
