[PATCH] x86: avoid warning for zero-filling .bss

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Wed Nov 16 2016 - 09:19:38 EST


The latest binutils are warning about a .fill directive with an explicit
value in a .bss section:

arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S:677: Warning: ignoring fill value in section `.bss..page_aligned'
arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S:679: Warning: ignoring fill value in section `.bss..page_aligned'

This comes from the 'ENTRY()' macro padding the space between the symbols
with 'nop'. Open-coding the .globl directive without the padding
avoids that warning.
