From c298be74492bece102f3379d14015638f1fd1fac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Helge Deller Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2009 22:25:30 +0100 Subject: parisc: fix module loading failure of large kernel modules On 32bit (and sometimes 64bit) and with big kernel modules like xfs or ipv6 the relocation types R_PARISC_PCREL17F and R_PARISC_PCREL22F may fail to reach their PLT stub if we only create one big stub array for all sections at the beginning of the core or init section. With this patch we now instead add individual PLT stub entries directly in front of the code sections where the stubs are actually called. This reduces the distance between the PCREL location and the stub entry so that the relocations can be fulfilled. While calculating the final layout of the kernel module in memory, the kernel module loader calls arch_mod_section_prepend() to request the to be reserved amount of memory in front of each individual section. Tested with 32- and 64bit kernels.
