Extract list of relocation offsets
Extract list of offsets in the vmlinux file for which the relocation
delta has to be patched. Currently only following type of relocation
types are considered: R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI, R_PPC64_TOC and R_PPC64_ADDR64
The offsets are sorted according to the relocation type and this
information is appended to the normal vmlinux file by using the patch
relocation_build.patch
Please, provide an indication of what changed since the previous
version of the patch to make the reviewer's life easier !
Hi,
Oops, I missed out the detailed change description. Thanks Ben for
pointing this.
Here is a change summary from v2 to v3:
PATCH 1:
The difference is relocs.c is moved to arch/powerpc/boot from arch/powerpc/
PATCH 2:
Relocation build support is now 90% integrated with kernel build
process. Earlier one has to run separately different make to build
vmlinux.reloc image. Required linker scripts are moved to
arch/powerpc/boot from arch/powerpc
PATCH 3:
The difference is reloc_apply.S is moved to arch/powerpc/boot from
arch/powerpc/
PATCH 4:
Enough care is taken when creating bolted mapping for kdump kernel. Now
it creates bolted mapping from 32MB to of size "crash kernel size" in
case of crash kernel.
Regards,
Mohan.
