From 61379878320664ed44901b0537254e983fc7e4c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaro Koskinen Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2015 00:54:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: vmlinux: discard .MIPS.abiflags Discard .MIPS.abiflags from vmlinux. It's not needed and will cause issues e.g. with old OCTEON bootloaders that cannot tolerate additional program headers. Before the patch: $ readelf --program-headers octeon-vmlinux Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file) Entry point 0xffffffff815d09d0 There are 3 program headers, starting at offset 64 Program Headers: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align ABIFLAGS 0x00000000005e77f0 0xffffffff816e67f0 0xffffffff816e67f0 0x0000000000000018 0x0000000000000018 R 8 LOAD 0x0000000000001000 0xffffffff81100000 0xffffffff81100000 0x0000000000b57f80 0x0000000001b86360 RWE 1000 NOTE 0x00000000004e02e0 0xffffffff815df2e0 0xffffffff815df2e0 0x0000000000000024 0x0000000000000024 R 4 After the patch: $ readelf --program-headers octeon-vmlinux Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file) Entry point 0xffffffff815d09d0 There are 2 program headers, starting at offset 64 Program Headers: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align LOAD 0x0000000000001000 0xffffffff81100000 0xffffffff81100000 0x0000000000b57f80 0x0000000001b86360 RWE 1000 NOTE 0x00000000004e02e0 0xffffffff815df2e0 0xffffffff815df2e0 0x0000000000000024 0x0000000000000024 R 4 Suggested-by: Matthew Fortune Suggested-by: Ralf Baechle Signed-off-by: Aaro Koskinen Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: David Daney Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/11402/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle --- arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S b/arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S index 07d32a4aea60..06632d69ee5a 100644 --- a/arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S +++ b/arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S @@ -181,6 +181,7 @@ SECTIONS DISCARDS /DISCARD/ : { /* ABI crap starts here */ + *(.MIPS.abiflags) *(.MIPS.options) *(.options) *(.pdr) -- 2.20.1
