[PATCH v4, part3 07/41] UML: normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds

From: Jiang Liu
Date: Sat Apr 06 2013 - 10:43:03 EST


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.
