[PATCH] x86-64: Overlapping program headers in physical addr space fix
o A recent change to vmlinux.ld.S file broke kexec as now resulting vmlinux program headers are overlapping in physical address space. o Now all the vsyscall related sections are placed after data and after that mostly init data sections are placed. To avoid physical overlap among phdrs, there are three possible solutions. - Place vsyscall sections also in data phdrs instead of user - move vsyscal sections after init data in bss. - create another phdrs say data.init and move all the sections after vsyscall into this new phdr. o This patch implements the third solution.
