From 045e72acf16054c4ed2760e9a8edb19a08053af1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 10:41:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix 'dynreloc miscount' link error on Powerpc Nathan Lynch reported: 2.6.23-rc1 breaks the build for 64-bit powerpc for me (using maple_defconfig): LD vmlinux.o powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: dynreloc miscount for kernel/built-in.o, section .opd powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: can not edit opd Bad value make: *** [vmlinux.o] Error 1 However, I see a possibly related binutils patch: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/33650 It was tracked down to be caused by the weak prototype declaration in mm.h: __attribute__((weak)) const char *arch_vma_name(struct vm_area_struct *vma); But there is no need to make the declaration weak - only the definition needs to be marked weak. So drop the weak declaration. And in the process drop the duplicate definition in page.h for powerpc. Note: the arch_vma_name fix for x86_64 needs to be applied first to avoid breaking x86_64 Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Nathan Lynch Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-format-patch failed
