The quilt patch titled Subject: kexec_file: drop weak attribute from arch_kexec_apply_relocations[_add] has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kexec_file-drop-weak-attribute-from-arch_kexec_apply_relocations.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

------------------------------------------------------ From: "Naveen N. Rao" naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com Subject: kexec_file: drop weak attribute from arch_kexec_apply_relocations[_add] Date: Thu, 19 May 2022 14:42:37 +0530

Since commit d1bcae833b32f1 ("ELF: Don't generate unused section symbols") [1], binutils (v2.36+) started dropping section symbols that it thought were unused. This isn't an issue in general, but with kexec_file.c, gcc is placing kexec_arch_apply_relocations[_add] into a separate .text.unlikely section and the section symbol ".text.unlikely" is being dropped. Due to this, recordmcount is unable to find a non-weak symbol in .text.unlikely to generate a relocation record against.

Address this by dropping the weak attribute from these functions. Instead, follow the existing pattern of having architectures #define the name of the function they want to override in their headers.
