This is part of early kprobes patch series update. Full series can be found from [1].
Early kprobes need some statically allocated slots, which is determined during linking by vmlinux.lds.S. Russell King suggests me not to spread vmlinux stuff around the kernel include files. This series tries to extract common code to include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h and let arch dependent code define macros common code requires.
