Subject: [PATCH] relocatable kernel: Kallsyms generate relocatable symbols
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fd593d12770d4a0d1ff095d44b96436c18479ee8;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

[PATCH] relocatable kernel: Kallsyms generate relocatable symbols

Print the addresses of non-absolute symbols relative to _text
so that ld will generate relocations.  Allowing a relocatable
kernel to relocate them.  We can't actually use the symbol names
because kallsyms includes static symbols that are not exported
from their object files.

Add the _text symbol definitions to the architectures which don't
define it otherwise linker will fail.
