Subject: [PATCH 09/15] x86: Provide _sdata in the vmlinux_*.lds.S files
Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 10:43:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081129104356.16726.28828.stgit@pc1117.cambridge.arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081129103908.16726.24264.stgit@pc1117.cambridge.arm.com>

_sdata is a common symbol defined by many architectures and made
available to the kernel via asm-generic/sections.h. Kmemleak uses this
symbol when scanning the data sections.
