uninitialized_ram vs uninitialized_data

[Gadgetoid]

I've been digging into skipping zero-fill initialization for large bss sections and came across the uninitialized_data section in memmap_default.ld:

https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk/blob/2e6142b15b8a75c1227dd3edbe839193b2bf9041/src/rp2_common/pico_standard_link/memmap_default.ld#L177-L180

However platform.h appears to use uninitialized_ram which is not present in the linker script(s):

https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk/blob/2e6142b15b8a75c1227dd3edbe839193b2bf9041/src/rp2_common/pico_platform/include/pico/platform.h#L163

Are these intended to be one and the same?

If not, what is uninitialized_data intended for? I can't find a single use of nor reference to it outside of its definition in the linker script.

Hmm. This is really weird. yes they are supposed to be the same, but for some reason that section is included in the binary anyway, and even more strangely, in exactly the right place

fix (to set the actualy section name correctly) is included as part of #1111
