Hi, I am relatively new to this list/area, not sure if this is right forum for my query (please point me to right list in that case).
I am porting my software from 2.4 kernel to 2.6.15 on a board similar to ppc 82xx sandpoint architecture. I am able to make the board functional except the following issue. One of my kernel module (inserted thru insmod) takes almost 6-7 minutes to load with 2.6 kernel while it used to take only few seconds with 2.4 kernel. Yet, after the long wait module is inserted correctly with 2.6 kernel as board software works fine after that. When I halt the processor (using BDI2000) during the long wait, it always halts in function get_plt_size() in kernel's arch/ppc/kernel/module.c. Single stepping does not take to any error or suspicious place. Looks like it is going thru the long for() loop in the function. Only suspicion I got is while compiling the module, it generates tons of undefined symbols. I ignored them as it was a third party software and module inserts correctly at the end. Can someone give few pointers on what could be the reasons and where to look to resolve this? Will appreciate your time, Thanks, Prakash _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list Linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
