Subject: [PATCH 7/11] i386: Kallsyms generate relocatable symbols
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2006 15:37:48 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061023193748.GH13263@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20061023192456.GA13263@in.ibm.com>



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.
