+Subject: x86: Fix .brk attribute in linker script
+
+From: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>
+
+commit 7e09ac27f43b382f5fe9bb7c7f4c465ece1f8a23 upstream.
+
+Commit in Fixes added the "NOLOAD" attribute to the .brk section as a
+"failsafe" measure.
+
+Unfortunately, this leads to the linker no longer covering the .brk
+section in a program header, resulting in the kernel loader not knowing
+that the memory for the .brk section must be reserved.
+
+This has led to crashes when loading the kernel as PV dom0 under Xen,
+but other scenarios could be hit by the same problem (e.g. in case an
+uncompressed kernel is used and the initrd is placed directly behind
+it).
+
+So drop the "NOLOAD" attribute. This has been verified to correctly
+cover the .brk section by a program header of the resulting ELF file.
+
+Fixes: e32683c6f7d2 ("x86/mm: Fix RESERVE_BRK() for older binutils")
