Hi,
> This patch causes an oops when building with the gold linker:
Found the problem. On binutils .meminit.text is within _stext/_etext:
[Nr] Name Type Address Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al
[ 3] .meminit.text PROGBITS c000000000989d14 999d14 00225c 00 AX 0 0 4
c000000000990000 R _etext
But on gold it is not:
c000000000970000 A _etext
[Nr] Name Type Address Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al
[ 3] .meminit.text PROGBITS c000000000970bcc 980bcc 002220 00 AX 0 0 4
As a result kernel_text_address() returns false, and
__jump_label_update() fails to update:
if (entry->code && kernel_text_address(entry->code))
arch_jump_label_transform(entry, jump_label_type(entry));
Seems like we get the correct layout on binutils by luck and we
need to explicitly handle .meminit.text.
