From 9672e2cb0fbdcb11d64ac43bcb4ee86a76b4221f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathias Krause Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2018 13:40:04 +0100 Subject: 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.
