From 5ceaa2f39bfa73c4398cd01e78f1c3ebde3d3383 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:23:53 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] decompress: fix new decompressor for PIC The ARM kernel decompressor wants to be able to relocate r/w data independently from the rest of the image, and we do this by ensuring that r/w data has global visibility. Define STATIC_RW_DATA to be empty to achieve this.
