From d617b338bbfdd77e9cbd8e7dc949cee3dd73d575 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Andreas=20Bie=C3=9Fmann?= Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2013 12:31:04 +0200 Subject: avr32: fix out-of-range jump in large kernels MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This patch fixes following error (for big kernels): ---8<--- arch/avr32/boot/u-boot/head.o: In function `no_tag_table': (.init.text+0x44): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `panic' defined in .text.unlikely section in kernel/built-in.o arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o: In function `bad_return': (.ex.text+0x236): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `panic' defined in .text.unlikely section in kernel/built-in.o --->8--- It comes up when the kernel increases and 'panic()' is too far away to fit in the +/- 2MiB range. Which in turn issues from the 21-bit displacement in 'br{cond4}' mnemonic which is one of the two ways to do jumps (rjmp has just 10-bit displacement and therefore a way smaller range). This fact was stated before in 8d29b7b9f81d6b83d869ff054e6c189d6da73f1f. One solution to solve this is to add a local storage for the symbol address and just load the $pc with that value.
