Subject: [PATCH 3/5] efi/x86: Remove __efistub_global annotation
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2020 18:15:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200415221520.2692512-4-nivedita@alum.mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200415221520.2692512-1-nivedita@alum.mit.edu>

Instead of using __efistub_global to force variables into the .data
section, leave them in the .bss but pull the EFI stub's .bss section
into .data in the linker script for the compressed kernel.
