I am having issues using LOAD_REG_ADDR and LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE macros on a ppc64
kernel which I have tried on both 2.6.16 and 2.6.17 kernels.
I noticed that these macros by default loading value 0 instead of the actual
address. Is this a bug of the compiler that can be fixed, I noticed when I did
objdump for head_64.S on the following function
_GLOBAL(pSeries_secondary_smp_init) for the following instruction :
LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r13, paca) /* Get base vaddr of paca array */ I
noticed this in some calls, whereas some calls seem to get symbol address.
Thanks
