From 903444e4297264ec0959e886695911659edb425c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2009 19:06:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Move _edata down Currently _edata does not include several data sections, this causes the kernel's report of memory usage at boot to not match reality, and also prevents kmemleak from working - because it scan between _sdata and _edata for pointers to allocated memory. This mirrors a similar change made recently to the x86 linker script.
