No that's fine I've done those changes, no need to send another version.

Yes, Alan Modra is the main author and I am just committing it with 
minor changes. Thus, the author change is necessary.

This needs to be:

Otherwise building with O=../build fails with:

I'll fix it up.


Indeed; this change is necessary to avoid any path errors.

I think it's more typical in the kernel to write -256 as ~0xff.

Again I can fix it up.


Good to know!

Lastly, will you fix it up or do you want me to send a second version 
then? Whatever is best for you.


Thank you for the review.

[PATCH] [powerpc-next] Fix powerpc64 alignment of .toc section in kernel modules

2017-12-06 Thread Desnes Augusto Nunes do Rosario 
powerpc64 gcc can generate code that offsets an address, to access part of
an object in memory. If the address is a -mcmodel=medium toc pointer
relative address then code like the following is possible.

 addis r9,r2,var@toc@ha
 ld r3,var@toc@l(r9)
 ld r4,(var+8)@toc@l(r9)

This works fine so long as var is naturally aligned, *and* r2 is
sufficiently aligned. If not, there is a possibility that the offset added
to access var+8 wraps over a n*64k+32k boundary. Modules don't have any
guarantee that r2 is sufficiently aligned. Moreover, code generated by
older compilers generates a .toc section with 2**0 alignment, which can
result in relocation failures at module load time even without the wrap
problem.

Thus, this patch links modules with an aligned .toc section (Makefile and
module.lds changes), and forces alignment for out of tree modules or those
without a .toc section (module_64.c changes).
