Binutils is not involved in the kernel module loader, instead arch/parisc/kernel/module.c (get_fdesc) chooses where the gp will point to. If you set gp to the middle of the GOT table, *and* implement long/short ldd access on 64-bit, then you would get a total of 8191 possible slots per module. Personally I think the lower risk, quicker fix, is to implement a fix for 64-bit kernels that uses ldd in format 3 for all offsets > 15 bytes, and thus allow you to set MAX_GOTS to 4095. Note: ldd format 3 can't be used to load immediate values between 15 and -16 bytes. Cheers, Carlos. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-hppa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
