Subject: [PATCH 10/15] arm: Provide _sdata and __bss_stop in the vmlinux.lds.S file
Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 10:44:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081129104402.16726.24856.stgit@pc1117.cambridge.arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081129103908.16726.24264.stgit@pc1117.cambridge.arm.com>

_sdata and __bss_stop are common symbols defined by many architectures
and made available to the kernel via asm-generic/sections.h. Kmemleak
uses these symbols when scanning the data sections.
