And commit: ("allow stripping of generated symbols under CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL") 9bb482476c6c9d1ae033306440c51ceac93ea80c These stripping patches has caused a set of issues: 1) People have reported compatibility issues with binutils due to lack of support for `--strip-unneeded-symbols' with objcopy 2.15.92.0.2 Reported by: Wenji 2) ccache and distcc no longer works as expeced Reported by: Ted, Roland, + others 3) The installed modules increased a lot in size Reported by: Ted, Davej + others Reported-by: Wenji Huang Reported-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Reported-by: Dave Jones Reported-by: Roland McGrath Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg --- kernel/kallsyms.c | 16 ++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel') diff --git a/kernel/kallsyms.c b/kernel/kallsyms.c index e694afa0eb8c..7b8b0f21a5b1 100644 --- a/kernel/kallsyms.c +++ b/kernel/kallsyms.c @@ -30,19 +30,20 @@ #define all_var 0 #endif -extern const unsigned long kallsyms_addresses[]; -extern const u8 kallsyms_names[]; +/* These will be re-linked against their real values during the second link stage */ +extern const unsigned long kallsyms_addresses[] __attribute__((weak)); +extern const u8 kallsyms_names[] __attribute__((weak)); /* tell the compiler that the count isn't in the small data section if the arch * has one (eg: FRV) */ extern const unsigned long kallsyms_num_syms - __attribute__((__section__(".rodata"))); +__attribute__((weak, section(".rodata"))); -extern const u8 kallsyms_token_table[]; -extern const u16 kallsyms_token_index[]; +extern const u8 kallsyms_token_table[] __attribute__((weak)); +extern const u16 kallsyms_token_index[] __attribute__((weak)); -extern const unsigned long kallsyms_markers[]; +extern const unsigned long kallsyms_markers[] __attribute__((weak)); static inline int is_kernel_inittext(unsigned long addr) { @@ -167,6 +168,9 @@ static unsigned long get_symbol_pos(unsigned long addr, unsigned long symbol_start = 0, symbol_end = 0; unsigned long i, low, high, mid; + /* This kernel should never had been booted. */ + BUG_ON(!kallsyms_addresses); + /* do a binary search on the sorted kallsyms_addresses array */ low = 0; high = kallsyms_num_syms; -- cgit v1.2.1
