From: Laura Abbott <[email protected]> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
=============== commit ea535e418c01837d07b6c94e817540f50bfdadb0 upstream. In include/asm-generic/sections.h: /* * Usage guidelines: * _text, _data: architecture specific, don't use them in * arch-independent code * [_stext, _etext]: contains .text.* sections, may also contain * .rodata.* * and/or .init.* sections _text is not guaranteed across architectures. Architectures such as ARM may reuse parts which are not actually text and erroneously trigger a bug. Switch to using _stext which is guaranteed to contain text sections.
