Subject[PATCH 3.14 61/70] dma-debug: switch check from _text to _stext
Date
3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Laura Abbott <labbott@fedoraproject.org>

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.
