From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx> commit c7acee3d2f128a38b68fb7af85dbbd91bfd0b4ad upstream. Christophe Leroy reported that commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS") broke mpc85xx_defconfig + CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. LD vmlinux SYSMAP System.map SORTTAB vmlinux CHKREL vmlinux WARNING: 451 bad relocations c0b312a9 R_PPC_UADDR32 .head.text-0x3ff9ed54 c0b312ad R_PPC_UADDR32 .head.text-0x3ffac224 c0b312b1 R_PPC_UADDR32 .head.text-0x3ffb09f4 c0b312b5 R_PPC_UADDR32 .head.text-0x3fe184dc c0b312b9 R_PPC_UADDR32 .head.text-0x3fe183a8 ... The compiler emits a bunch of R_PPC_UADDR32, which is not supported by arch/powerpc/kernel/reloc_32.S. The reason is there exists an unaligned symbol. $ powerpc-linux-gnu-nm -n vmlinux ... c0b31258 d spe_aligninfo c0b31298 d __func__.0 c0b312a9 D sys_call_table c0b319b8 d __func__.0 Commit 7b4537199a4a is not the root cause. Even before that, I can reproduce the same issue for mpc85xx_defconfig + CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=n. It is just that nobody noticed because when CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is enabled, a __crc_* symbol inserted before sys_call_table was hiding the unalignment issue. Adding alignment to the syscall table for ppc32 fixes the issue.
