Subject: [PATCH] FRV: Fix the extern declaration of kallsyms_num_syms [try #2]
Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 16:53:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071113165316.18700.67752.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Fix the extern declaration of kallsyms_num_syms to indicate that the symbol
does not reside in the small-data storage space, and so may not be accessed
relative to the small data base register.

Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
