ARM: 8514/1: remove duplicate definitions of __vectors_start and __stubs_start
Commit b9b32bf7 ("ARM: use linker magic for vectors and vector stubs") introduced new global definitions of __vectors_start and __stubs_start, and changed the existing ones to have internal linkage only. However, these symbols are still visible to kallsyms, and due to the way the .vectors and .stubs sections are emitted at the base of the VMA space, these duplicate definitions have conflicting values. $ nm -n vmlinux |grep -E __vectors|__stubs 00000000 t __vectors_start 00001000 t __stubs_start c0e77000 T __vectors_start c0e77020 T __stubs_start This is completely harmless by itself, since the wrong values are local symbols that cannot be referenced by other object files directly. However, since these symbols are also listed in the kallsyms symbol table in some cases (i.e., CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y and CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL=y), having these conflicting values can be confusing. So either remove them, or make them strictly local.
