modpost: fix section mismatch message for R_ARM_{PC24,CALL,JUMP24}
[ Upstream commit 56a24b8ce6a7f9c4a21b2276a8644f6f3d8fc14d ]
addend_arm_rel() processes R_ARM_PC24, R_ARM_CALL, R_ARM_JUMP24 in a
wrong way.
Here, test code.
[test code for R_ARM_JUMP24]
.section .init.text,"ax"
bar:
bx lr
.section .text,"ax"
.globl foo
foo:
b bar
[test code for R_ARM_CALL]
.section .init.text,"ax"
bar:
bx lr
.section .text,"ax"
.globl foo
foo:
push {lr}
bl bar
pop {pc}
If you compile it with ARM multi_v7_defconfig, modpost will show the
symbol name, (unknown).
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o: section mismatch in reference: foo (section: .text) -> (unknown) (section: .init.text)
(You need to use GNU linker instead of LLD to reproduce it.)
Fix the code to make modpost show the correct symbol name.
I imported (with adjustment) sign_extend32() from include/linux/bitops.h.
The '+8' is the compensation for pc-relative instruction. It is
documented in "ELF for the Arm Architecture" [1].
"If the relocation is pc-relative then compensation for the PC bias
(the PC value is 8 bytes ahead of the executing instruction in Arm
state and 4 bytes in Thumb state) must be encoded in the relocation
by the object producer."
