I was looking at the module headers and found this pattern:
In 4.2.1-2, 4.2.5-1, and 4.2.6-1 the order of the header for fat.ko says:
17 .data.rel.ro 000001c0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00011418 2**3
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, DATA
18 .opd 00000af8 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000115d8 2**3
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, DATA
19 .toc 00000440 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000120d0 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, DATA
While in 4.2.6-2, 4.2.6-3 4.3.1-1 and 4.3.3-1 it says:
17 .opd 00000af8 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00011418 2**3
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, DATA
18 .toc 00000440 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00011f10 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, DATA
19 .data.rel.ro 000001b0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00012350 2**3
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, DATA
So the .toc used to be after .data.rel.ro and opd, and now it isn't.
Maybe that is causing the issue, or at least points at where the
problem is.
At least the working kernels have one pattern and all the broken kernels
have another pattern.
