Ok, fine. I forgot about DOTSYM. Will do for now.

Technically yes. But I thought because we build with mcmodel=medium
we'll never actually get multiple TOCs in the kernel itself, so it
doesn't actually matter.

So this seems to work for now:

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S

cmpdi   cr0,r3,0
 
/* Windup the stack. */


cheers

I'd say ifdef gunk, also the KVM use doesn't need it bcs the kvm entry
isn't an OPD.

The KVM one doesnt have a dotsym does it ?

Also should we load the TOC from the OPD ?

Is it a hack because the ifdef gunk, or because there's something
deeper wrong with using the .sym?

I guess all those handlers that load label address by hand could have
the bug silently creep in. Can we have them use the DOTSYM() macro?

Thanks,
Nick

[PATCH] powerpc: Fix HMIs on big-endian with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y

2018-10-07 Thread Benjamin Herrenschmidt
HMIs will crash the kernel due to

BRANCH_LINK_TO_FAR(hmi_exception_realmode)

Calling into the OPD instead of the actual code.

This hack fixes it for me, but it's not great. Nick, any better idea ?
