Thanks Jean. Your compressed/head.o looks fine.
No it doesn't -- the .text.head section doesn't have the ALLOC attribute set. The section then ends up not being assigned to an output segment (during the linking of vmlinux) and all hell breaks loose. The linker gives you a warning about this btw. Jean, how old is your binutils? Since 2.15 at least this should be set automatically on sections named .text.<whatever> . It wouldn't hurt to specify it by hand in the source code of course -- change .section ".text.head" to .section ".text.head","ax",@progbits in compressed/head.S .
