From fc8d782677f163dee76427fdd8a92bebd2b50b23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Duyck Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2012 13:57:13 -0800 Subject: x86: Use __pa_symbol instead of __pa on C visible symbols When I made an attempt at separating __pa_symbol and __pa I found that there were a number of cases where __pa was used on an obvious symbol. I also caught one non-obvious case as _brk_start and _brk_end are based on the address of __brk_base which is a C visible symbol. In mark_rodata_ro I was able to reduce the overhead of kernel symbol to virtual memory translation by using a combination of __va(__pa_symbol()) instead of page_address(virt_to_page()).
