10  * _text, _data: architecture specific, don't use them in arch-independent code
11  * [_stext, _etext]: contains .text.* sections, may also contain .rodata.*
12  *                   and/or .init.* sections
13  * [_sdata, _edata]: contains .data.* sections, may also contain .rodata.*
14  *                   and/or .init.* sections.
15  * [__start_rodata, __end_rodata]: contains .rodata.* sections
16  * [__init_begin, __init_end]: contains .init.* sections, but .init.text.*
17  *                   may be out of this range on some architectures.
18  * [_sinittext, _einittext]: contains .init.text.* sections
19  * [__bss_start, __bss_stop]: contains BSS sections
20  *
21  * Following global variables are optional and may be unavailable on some
22  * architectures and/or kernel configurations.
