[PATCH 1/2] asm/sections: Add helpers to check for section data

Show all headers | View raw

From: Thierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com>

Add a helper to check if an object (given an address and a size) is part
of a section (given beginning and end addresses). For convenience, also
provide a helper that performs this check for __init data using the
__init_begin and __init_end limits.
