9 * Usage guidelines:
10 * _text, _data: architecture specific, don't use them in arch-independent code
11 * [_stext, _etext]: contains .text.* sections, may also contain .rodata.*
12 * and/or .init.* sections
13 * [_sdata, _edata]: contains .data.* sections, may also contain .rodata.*
14 * and/or .init.* sections.
15 * [__start_rodata, __end_rodata]: contains .rodata.* sections
16 * [__init_begin, __init_end]: contains .init.* sections, but .init.text.*
17 * may be out of this range on some architectures.
18 * [_sinittext, _einittext]: contains .init.text.* sections
19 * [__bss_start, __bss_stop]: contains BSS sections
21 * Following global variables are optional and may be unavailable on some
22 * architectures and/or kernel configurations.
23 * _text, _data
24 * __kprobes_text_start, __kprobes_text_end
25 * __entry_text_start, __entry_text_end
26 * __ctors_start, __ctors_end
