Build failure in v4.4.y.queue (ppc:allmodconfig)

Build failure in v4.4.y.queue (ppc:allmodconfig)

[Guenter Roeck]

I see multiple instances of:

arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:839: Error:
	attempt to move .org backwards

in v4.4.y.queue (v4.4.179-143-gc4db218e9451).

This is due to commit 9b2d4e06d7f1 ("powerpc/64s: Add support for a store
forwarding barrier at kernel entry/exit"), which is part of a large patch
series and can not easily be reverted.

Guess I'll stop doing ppc:allmodconfig builds in v4.4.y ?

Thanks,
Guenter

Michael, I thought this patch series was supposed to fix ppc issues, not
add to them :)

Any ideas on what to do here?

What exact code do you build?

In my source there the SLB relon handler starts just above this line and
a lot of out-ouf-line are handlers before. Moving some out-of-line
handlers below the parts with fixed location should fix the build error.

Gcc should not see this file. I am asking because I do not see an .org
directive at line 839 of 4.4.179. I probably need some different repo
or extra patches to see the same code as you do.

v4.4.179-143-gc4db218e9451 from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git
branch linux-4.4.y

That also includes 'powerpc/64s: Improve RFI L1-D cache flush fallback',
but reverting it does not make a difference. Also, the .org is
hidden in STD_RELON_EXCEPTION_PSERIES().

Still don't see it. That branch is at 4.4.179 and c4db218e9451 does not
exist after fetching from the repo.

Anyway, here is a patch (untested):

Subject: [PATCH] Move out-of-line exception handlers after relon exception
 handlers.

The relon exception handlers need to be at specific location and code
inflation in the common handler code can cause

Error: attempt to move .org backwards

Well it fixes some, but creates others :}

Turning off CONFIG_CBE_RAS (obscure IBM Cell Blade RAS features) is
sufficient to get it building. Is that an option for your build tests
Guenter?

We can try to rearrange some of the exception vectors as Michal
suggested, but that's not without risk either.

I could turn it off unconditionally, meaning it would affect all other
branches. I would rather stop building ppc:allmodconfig for v4.4.y.
