[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.
