[PATCH v4 3/7] [ppc] Process dynamic relocations for kernel

Suzuki K. Poulose suzuki at in.ibm.com
Fri Dec 9 22:47:32 EST 2011


The following patch implements the dynamic relocation processing for
PPC32 kernel. relocate() accepts the target virtual address and relocates
 the kernel image to the same.

Currently the following relocation types are handled :

	R_PPC_RELATIVE
	R_PPC_ADDR16_LO
	R_PPC_ADDR16_HI
	R_PPC_ADDR16_HA

The last 3 relocations in the above list depends on value of Symbol indexed
whose index is encoded in the Relocation entry. Hence we need the Symbol
Table for processing such relocations.

Note: The GNU ld for ppc32 produces buggy relocations for relocation types
that depend on symbols. The value of the symbols with STB_LOCAL scope
should be assumed to be zero. - Alan Modra

Changes since V3:
 * Updated relocation types for ppc in arch/powerpc/relocs_check.pl

Changes since v2:
  * Flush the d-cache'd instructions and invalidate the i-cache to reflect
    the processed instructions.(Reported by: Josh Poimboeuf)
