From e268f8484851cf11ca1a08283d04ab35226f8967 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulrich Weigand Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2016 23:14:23 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/module: Handle R_PPC64_ENTRY relocations commit a61674bdfc7c2bf909c4010699607b62b69b7bec upstream. GCC 6 will include changes to generated code with -mcmodel=large, which is used to build kernel modules on powerpc64le. This was necessary because the large model is supposed to allow arbitrary sizes and locations of the code and data sections, but the ELFv2 global entry point prolog still made the unconditional assumption that the TOC associated with any particular function can be found within 2 GB of the function entry point: func: addis r2,r12,(.TOC.-func)@ha addi r2,r2,(.TOC.-func)@l .localentry func, .-func To remove this assumption, GCC will now generate instead this global entry point prolog sequence when using -mcmodel=large: .quad .TOC.-func func: .reloc ., R_PPC64_ENTRY ld r2, -8(r12) add r2, r2, r12 .localentry func, .-func The new .reloc triggers an optimization in the linker that will replace this new prolog with the original code (see above) if the linker determines that the distance between .TOC. and func is in range after all. Since this new relocation is now present in module object files, the kernel module loader is required to handle them too. This patch adds support for the new relocation and implements the same optimization done by the GNU linker.
