[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Move _edata down
From: Michael Ellerman <hidden>
Date: 2009-08-10 05:06:24
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.
