Also the definition of SYMBOL_PREFIX in <linux/kernel.h> is removed as it conflicts, isn't used anywhere, and is defined as a string so differs from the assembly definition.So now, if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, SYMBOL_PREFIX is defined on the cmdline as a string. Otherwise it's empty (not the empty string?):
No, SYMBOL_PREFIX is now defined as a non-string, same as asm files, but the now unused definition in linux/kernel.h did define it as a string as it used CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX which is a string. When I said "and is defined as a string" I was referring to the one in linux/kernel.h that this removes. Does that make sense? It's all a bit messy unfortunately (hence RFC). Cheers James
