[PATCH 3/4] powerpc/64s: tool to flag direct branches from unrelocated interrupt vectors

Sat Nov 26 14:26:11 AEDT 2016


Direct banches from code below __end_interrupts to code above
__end_interrupts when built with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE are disallowed
because they will break when the kernel is not located at 0.

Sample output:

    WARNING: Unrelocated relative branches
    c000000000000118 bl-> 0xc000000000038fb8 <pnv_restore_hyp_resource>
