kexec_file: drop weak attribute from functions
[ Upstream commit 65d9a9a60fd71be964effb2e94747a6acb6e7015 ]
As requested
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/87ee0q7b92.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx),
this series converts weak functions in kexec to use the #ifdef approach.
Quoting the 3e35142ef99fe ("kexec_file: drop weak attribute from
arch_kexec_apply_relocations[_add]") changelog:
: Since commit d1bcae833b32f1 ("ELF: Don't generate unused section symbols")
: [1], binutils (v2.36+) started dropping section symbols that it thought
: were unused. This isn't an issue in general, but with kexec_file.c, gcc
: is placing kexec_arch_apply_relocations[_add] into a separate
: .text.unlikely section and the section symbol ".text.unlikely" is being
: dropped. Due to this, recordmcount is unable to find a non-weak symbol in
: .text.unlikely to generate a relocation record against.
This patch (of 2);
Drop __weak attribute from functions in kexec_file.c:
- arch_kexec_kernel_image_probe()
- arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup()
- arch_kexec_kernel_image_load()
- arch_kexec_locate_mem_hole()
- arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig()
arch_kexec_kernel_image_load() calls into kexec_image_load_default(), so
drop the static attribute for the latter.
arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() is not overridden by any architecture, so
drop the __weak attribute.
