Linus, Please revert commits edada399 ("powerpc: Use TEXT_TEXT macro in linker script.") and 9203fc9c ("powerpc: Use __REF macro instead of old .text.init.refok."), which depends on edada399.
Commit edada399 breaks the build because it moves the __ftr_alt_* sections of a file away from the .text section, causing link failures due to relative conditional branch targets being too far away from the branch instructions. This happens on pretty much all 64-bit powerpc configs. Clearly these patches were never even build-tested. They were never acked by the powerpc maintainer (Ben) - because he was on vacation - and they weren't sent to the deputy maintainer (me) or the relevant mailing list (linuxppc-dev). And they are clearly not fixes for regressions or serious bugs, so why are these patches going in after -rc3 anyway? Paul. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
