[PATCH 02/14] efi/libstub: arm64: use hidden attribute for struct screen_info reference
From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Fri Aug 18 2017 - 15:50:17 EST
To prevent the compiler from emitting absolute references to screen_info
when building position independent code, redeclare the symbol with hidden
visibility.
