commit a1e2c031ec3949b8c039b739c0b5bf9c30007b00 upstream. RESERVE_BRK() reserves data in the .brk_reservation section. The data is initialized to zero, like BSS, so the macro specifies 'nobits' to prevent the data from taking up space in the vmlinux binary. The only way to get the compiler to do that (without putting the variable in .bss proper) is to use inline asm. The macro also has a hack which encloses the inline asm in a discarded function, which allows the size to be passed (global inline asm doesn't allow inputs). Remove the need for the discarded function hack by just stringifying the size rather than supplying it as an input to the inline asm.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
