From aed9c6ccb87d96c333bd6ae631d9e90f3b6d7271 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Janzen Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2006 21:40:48 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ppc32: Put cache flush routines back into .relocate_code section In 2.6.14, we had the following definition of _GLOBAL() in include/asm-ppc/processor.h: #define _GLOBAL(n)\ .stabs __stringify(n:F-1),N_FUN,0,0,n;\ .globl n;\ n: In 2.6.15, as part of the great powerpc merge, we moved this definition to include/asm-powerpc/ppc_asm.h, where it appears (to 32-bit code) as: #define _GLOBAL(n) \ .text; \ .stabs __stringify(n:F-1),N_FUN,0,0,n;\ .globl n; \ n: Mostly, this is fine. However, we also have the following, in arch/ppc/boot/common/util.S: .section ".relocate_code","xa" [...] _GLOBAL(flush_instruction_cache) [...] _GLOBAL(flush_data_cache) [...] The addition of the .text section definition in the definition of _GLOBAL overrides the .relocate_code section definition. As a result, these two functions don't end up in .relocate_code, so they don't get relocated correctly, and the boot fails. There's another suspicious-looking usage at kernel/swsusp.S:37 that someone should look into. I did not exhaustively search the source tree, though. The following is the minimal patch that fixes the immediate problem. I could easily be convinced that the _GLOBAL definition should be modified to remove the ".text;" line either instead of, or in addition to, this fix.
