[PATCH 1/3] powerpc/64s: tool to flag direct branches from unrelocated interrupt vectors

Fri May 12 03:40:38 AEST 2017


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>
    c00000000000013c b-> 0xc0000000001068a4 <kvm_start_guest>
