From 69ac59647e66c1b53fb98fe8b6d0f2099cffad60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chaskiel Grundman Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2005 13:01:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] alpha: process_reloc_for_got confuses r_offset and r_addend arch/alpha/kernel/module.c:process_reloc_for_got(), which figures out how big the .got section for a module should be, appears to be confusing r_offset (the file offset that the relocation needs to be applied to) with r_addend (the offset of the relocation's actual target address from the address of the relocation's symbol). Because of this, one .got entry is allocated for each relocation instead of one each unique symbol/addend. In the module I am working with, this causes the .got section to be almost 10 times larger than it needs to be (75544 bytes instead of 7608 bytes). As the .got is accessed with global-pointer-relative instructions, it needs to be within the 64k gp "zone", and a 75544 byte .got clearly does not fit. The result of this is that relocation overflows are detected during module load and the load is aborted. Change struct got_entry/process_reloc_for_got to fix this.
