3.16.7-ckt10 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx>
commit e893286918d2cde3a94850d8f7101cd1039e0c62 upstream.
On gcc5 the kernel does not link:
ld: .eh_frame_hdr table[4] FDE at 0000000000000648 overlaps table[5] FDE at 0000000000000670.
Because prior GCC versions always emitted NOPs on ALIGN directives, but
gcc5 started omitting them.
.LSTARTFDEDLSI1 says:
/* HACK: The dwarf2 unwind routines will subtract 1 from the
return address to get an address in the middle of the
presumed call instruction. Since we didn't get here via
a call, we need to include the nop before the real start
to make up for it. */
.long .LSTART_sigreturn-1-. /* PC-relative start address */
But commit 69d0627a7f6e ("x86 vDSO: reorder vdso32 code") from 2.6.25
replaced .org __kernel_vsyscall+32,0x90 by ALIGN right before
__kernel_sigreturn.
Of course, ALIGN need not generate any NOP in there. Esp. gcc5 collapses
vclock_gettime.o and int80.o together with no generated NOPs as "ALIGN".
So fix this by adding to that point at least a single NOP and make the
function ALIGN possibly with more NOPs then.
Kudos for reporting and diagnosing should go to Richard.
