From 045e72acf16054c4ed2760e9a8edb19a08053af1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 10:41:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix 'dynreloc miscount' link error on Powerpc Nathan Lynch <ntl@pobox.com> 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 <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Nathan Lynch <ntl@pobox.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> --- include/asm-powerpc/page.h | 1 - include/linux/mm.h | 2 +- 2 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/asm-powerpc/page.h b/include/asm-powerpc/page.h index 10c51f457d4..236a9210e5f 100644 --- a/include/asm-powerpc/page.h +++ b/include/asm-powerpc/page.h @@ -190,7 +190,6 @@ extern void copy_user_page(void *to, void *from, unsigned long vaddr, extern int page_is_ram(unsigned long pfn); struct vm_area_struct; -extern const char *arch_vma_name(struct vm_area_struct *vma); #include <asm-generic/memory_model.h> #endif /* __ASSEMBLY__ */ diff --git a/include/linux/mm.h b/include/linux/mm.h index c456c3a1c28..3e9e8fec5a4 100644 --- a/include/linux/mm.h +++ b/include/linux/mm.h @@ -1246,7 +1246,7 @@ void drop_slab(void); extern int randomize_va_space; #endif -__attribute__((weak)) const char *arch_vma_name(struct vm_area_struct *vma); +const char * arch_vma_name(struct vm_area_struct *vma); #endif /* __KERNEL__ */ #endif /* _LINUX_MM_H */ -- 2.41.3
