commit 968339fad422a58312f67718691b717dac45c399 upstream. .globl sets the symbol binding to STB_GLOBAL while .weak sets the binding to STB_WEAK. GNU as let .weak override .globl since binutils-gdb 5ca547dc2399a0a5d9f20626d4bf5547c3ccfddd (1996). Clang integrated assembler let the last win but it may error in the future. Since it is a convention that only one binding directive is used, just delete .globl.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
