[PATCH 4/6] kcore register text area in generic way

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Thu Aug 06 2009 - 06:32:12 EST


From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some 64bit arch has special segment for mapping kernel text. It should be
entried to /proc/kcore in addtion to direct-linear-map, vmalloc area.
This patch unifies KCORE_TEXT entry scattered under x86 and ia64.

I'm not familiar with other archs (mips has its own even after this patch)
but range of [_stext ..._end) is a valid area of text and it's not
in direct-map area, defining CONFIG_ARCH_PROC_KCORE_TEXT is only a necessary
thing to do.

Note: I left mips as it is now.
