[PATCH 2/2] ARM: mm: hide __start_rodata_section_aligned for non-debug builds

From: arnd@arndb.de (Arnd Bergmann)
Date: 2016-02-16 16:04:52
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

The __start_rodata_section_aligned is only referenced by the
DEBUG_RODATA code, which is only used when the MMU is enabled,
but the definition fails on !MMU builds:

arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds:702: undefined symbol `SECTION_SHIFT' referenced in expression

This hides the symbol whenever DEBUG_RODATA is disabled.

Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Fixes: 64ac2e74f0b2 ("ARM: 8502/1: mm: mark section-aligned portion of rodata NX")
