Subject: vmlinux.lds.h: drop unused __vermagic
X-Git-Tag: v5.2-rc1~67^2~2
X-Git-Url: https://git.kernel.dk/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9672e2cb0fbdcb11d64ac43bcb4ee86a76b4221f;p=linux-2.6-block.git

vmlinux.lds.h: drop unused __vermagic

The reference to '__vermagic' is a relict from v2.5 times. And even
there it had a very short life time, from v2.5.59 (commit 1d411b80ee18
("Module Sanity Check") in the historic tree) to v2.5.69 (commit
67ac5b866bda ("[PATCH] complete modinfo section")).

Neither current kernels nor modules contain a '__vermagic' section any
more, so get rid of it.
