Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Fix __bss_start and __bss_end in linker scripts
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Commit 3ebd1cbc introduced compiler-generated __bss_start
and __bss_end__ and commit c23561e7 rewrote all __bss_end__
as __bss_end. Their merge caused silent and harmless but
potentially bug-inducing clashes between compiler- and linker-
generated __bss_end symbols.

Make __bss_end and __bss_start compiler-only, and create
__bss_base and __bss_limit for linker-only use.
