.exit.text is discarded at run time and there are some references from that to .exit.data, so we need to discard .exit.data at run time as well.
Fixes these errors: `.exit.data' referenced in section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.data' of drivers/built-in.o `.exit.data' referenced in section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.data' of drivers/built-in.o Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <s...@canb.auug.org.au> --- arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) I have only seen this with an allyesconfig build which fails for other reasons. diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S b/arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S index 1db685104ffc..d41fd0af8980 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S @@ -183,6 +183,12 @@ SECTIONS *(.rela*) } #endif + /* .exit.data is discarded at runtime, not link time, + * to deal with references from .exit.text + */ + .exit.data : AT(ADDR(.exit.data) - LOAD_OFFSET) { + EXIT_DATA + } /* freed after init ends here */ . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); -- 2.5.3 -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell s...@canb.auug.org.au _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
