[PATCH 7/11] i386: Kallsyms generate relocatable symbols
From: Vivek Goyal
Date: Mon Oct 23 2006 - 15:50:42 EST
Print the addresses of non-absolute symbols relative to _text
so that ld will generate relocations. Allowing a relocatable
kernel to relocate them. We can't actually use the symbol names
because kallsyms includes static symbols that are not exported
from their object files.
Add the _text symbol definitions to the architectures which don't
define it otherwise linker will fail.
