From 2942425f64895dead4dfe46462e00c9871c2bc12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laura Abbott Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2016 15:16:50 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] dma-debug: switch check from _text to _stext commit ea535e418c01837d07b6c94e817540f50bfdadb0 upstream. In include/asm-generic/sections.h: /* * Usage guidelines: * _text, _data: architecture specific, don't use them in * arch-independent code * [_stext, _etext]: contains .text.* sections, may also contain * .rodata.* * and/or .init.* sections _text is not guaranteed across architectures. Architectures such as ARM may reuse parts which are not actually text and erroneously trigger a bug. Switch to using _stext which is guaranteed to contain text sections.
