Hey Al, Michal,
I can confirm Olivers issue, the current mainline kernel fails to boot
on kernels with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y. Bisection points to:
commit 784d5699eddc55878627da20d3fe0c8542e2f1a2
Author: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon Jan 11 11:04:34 2016 -0500
x86: move exports to actual definitions
Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Good builds have a non-zero address in Module.symvers:
0x69acdf38 memcpy vmlinux EXPORT_SYMBOL
Bad builds have a zero address here:
0x00000000 memcpy vmlinux EXPORT_SYMBOL
This was encountered on Arch Linux with GCC 6.2.1 and
Linux v4.9-rc2-40-g9fe68ca. Note that the identified commit above cannot
be reverted cleanly on master.
Kind regards,
Peter
