From 1260866a271abc84274345580f3d613d3bceff87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Mon, 11 May 2009 13:22:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Provide _sdata in the vmlinux.lds.S file _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.
