From c153693d7eb9eeb28478aa2deaaf0b4e7b5ff5e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Modra Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2016 20:52:22 +1100 Subject: powerpc: Simplify module TOC handling PowerPC64 uses the symbol .TOC. much as other targets use _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. It identifies the value of the GOT pointer (or in powerpc parlance, the TOC pointer). Global offset tables are generally local to an executable or shared library, or in the kernel, module. Thus it does not make sense for a module to resolve a relocation against .TOC. to the kernel's .TOC. value. A module has its own .TOC., and indeed the powerpc64 module relocation processing ignores the kernel value of .TOC. and instead calculates a module-local value. This patch removes code involved in exporting the kernel .TOC., tweaks modpost to ignore an undefined .TOC., and the module loader to twiddle the section symbol so that .TOC. isn't seen as undefined. Note that if the kernel was compiled with -msingle-pic-base then ELFv2 would not have function global entry code setting up r2. In that case the module call stubs would need to be modified to set up r2 using the kernel .TOC. value, requiring some of this code to be reinstated. mpe: Furthermore a change in binutils master (not yet released) causes the current way we handle the TOC to no longer work when building with MODVERSIONS=y and RELOCATABLE=n. The symptom is that modules can not be loaded due to there being no version found for TOC.

Bruce Fields" Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 16:54:34 -0400 Subject: scripts: add "prune-kernel" script to clean up old kernel images Long ago, Dave Jones complained about CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO: "I don't use the auto config, because I end up filling up /boot unless I go through and clean them out by hand every time I install a new one (which I do probably a dozen or so times a day). Is there some easy way to prune old builds I'm missing?" To which Bruce replied: "I run this by hand every now and then. I'm probably doing it all wrong" And if he is running it wrong, then so am I - because I've been using this script ever since. It is true that CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO easily ends up filling your /boot partition if you don't clean up old versions regularly, and this script helps make that easier. Checked with Bruce to see that it's fine to add this to the kernel scripts. Maybe people will come up with enhancements, but more importantly, this way I won't misplace this script whenever I install a new machine and start doing custom kernels for it.
