From 786bf7fdaca4c75e7eba6e9aa3a8b5775fd21186 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Golle Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2022 01:16:48 +0000 Subject: kernel: delete Linux 5.4 config and patches As the upcoming release will be based on Linux 5.10 only, remove all kernel configuration as well as patches for Linux 5.4. There were no targets still actively using Linux 5.4.

On other hand -observed that when kernel is built mips-poky-linux-gcc toolchain, the -same 'jalr t9' instruction are replaced with PC relative function -calls using 'bal' instructions. - -The difference boils down to -mrelax-pic-calls and -mexplicit-relocs -gcc options that gets different default values depending on gcc -target triplets and corresponding binutils. -mrelax-pic-calls got -enabled by default only in mips-poky-linux-gcc case. MIPS binutils -ld relies on R_MIPS_JALR relocation to convert 'jalr t9' into 'bal' -and such relocation is generated only if -mrelax-pic-calls option -is on. - -Please note 'jalr t9' conversion to 'bal' can happen only to static -functions. These static PIC calls use mips local GOT entries that -are supposed to be filled with start of DSO value by run-time linker -(missing in VDSO case) and they do not have dynamic relocations. -Global mips GOT entries must have dynamic relocations and they should -be prevented by cmd_vdso_check Makefile rule. - -Solution call out -mrelax-pic-calls and -mexplicit-relocs options -explicitly while compiling MIPS vdso code. That would get correct -and consistent between different toolchains behaviour. - -Reported-by: Bruce Ashfield -Signed-off-by: Victor Kamensky -Signed-off-by: Paul Burton -Cc: linux-mips@vger.kernel.org -Cc: Ralf Baechle -Cc: James Hogan -Cc: Vincenzo Frascino -Cc: richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org ---- - arch/mips/vdso/Makefile | 1 + - 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) - ---- a/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile -+++ b/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile -@@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ ccflags-vdso := \ - cflags-vdso := $(ccflags-vdso) \ - $(filter -W%,$(filter-out -Wa$(comma)%,$(KBUILD_CFLAGS))) \ - -O3 -g -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fno-builtin -G 0 \ -+ -mrelax-pic-calls -mexplicit-relocs \ - -fno-stack-protector -fno-jump-tables -DDISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING \ - $(call cc-option, -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables) \ - $(call cc-option, -fno-stack-protector) -- cgit v1.2.3
