Subject: [PATCH] [POWERPC] Clean up some linker and symbol usage
Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:53:11 -0500 (CDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0803271452540.12382@blarg.am.freescale.net> (raw)
* use _stext and _end sybmols when reserving kernel text in the lmb. Use
of these symbols is a bit more robust way to determine the physical start
and size of the kernel text.
* PAGE_OFFSET is not always the start of code, use _stext instead.
* grab PAGE_SIZE and KERNELBASE from asm/page.h like ppc64 does. Makes the
code a bit more common and provide a single place to manipulate the defines
for things like kdump.
