undefined references when compiling kernel with binutils-2.11.92.0.12.3

undefined references when compiling kernel with binutils-2.11.92.0.12.3

[Jan Pospisil]

Hello, it has been posted so many times, and according to Richard Gooch it
should be fixed in 2.4.18-pre3, however I am still having the problem

undefined reference to `local symbols in discarded section .text.exit'

particullary with the CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848=y (as a module it works fine).

I have Athlon 850, Debian 3.0 (latest Sid), binutils-2.11.92.0.12.3-5,
gcc-3.0.3 and I tried both 2.4.17 and 2.4.18-pre4 with the same result.

Could someone help?

Thanks.

2.4.17: Hang after IDE detection

[Liakakis Kostas]

Hello,

I recently got an older k6-2/333 with a SiS chipset and tried to install
linux on it.

Every recent distro I tryed with a 2.4.x kernel would hang after detecting
the SiS5513 controller.

Annoyed I took 2.4.17 compiled it on another machine. The IDE config was:
#
# ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support
#
CONFIG_IDE=y

#
# IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ADMA=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y
CONFIG_PIIX_TUNING=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODES=y
 
It would hang exactly the same as the distros (written down from display
by hand):

Blah blah blah...
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
ide: Assuming 33mhz etc etc
SIS5513: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 09
PCI: Assigned IRQ 14 for device 00:01.1
SIS5513: chipset revision 208

ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on ira 15
<hang>

Keyboard is dead (no num-lock, no magic sysrq)

Things I have tryed and failed:
- Not using dma by default in kernel or nodma option
- Not enabling support for SiS5513 in kernel
- specifing hda geometry (hda=...), hdc=cdrom, hdb,hdd=noprobe
- kernels 2.4.11pre5 and redhat 7.1, Mandrake 8.0, 8.1 boot disks
- Andre's latest patches for 2.4.17 with SiS5513 configured

Things that succeeded:
- 2.2.x kernels were fine (x=10, 16 that were handy)
- 2.4.0test1-ac22 was also fine (tested without SiS5513 configured...)
- Andre's letest patches without SiS5513 configured

The /proc/pci of the machine after booting 2.4.17+Andre+no-SIS5513
injected into the Mandrake 8.1 bootdisk (again by hand):

PCI devices found:
   Bus 0, device 0, function 0:
       Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5597 [SiS5582]

         Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe0000000 [0xe3ffffff].

Thanks for any help guys...

(now off to convince that Mandrake distro to install...)

-K.

for me the hang happens here. Other symptoms are about the same.

all recent (>=16) and a 2.4.6 pre7 kernel hang. 2.2.19 is no problem.

Support for the 5597 coming in. Without net connection at home though.
May have to use floppy disks to bring code with me at work and then post.
Expect a post with an alpha version of ATA16/ATA33 chips support and
some ATA66 bugfixes before the week's end.

LB.

I had this happen too. The readout was for 2.4.17 behaviour with the given
config. I remember another kernel crash at this poit too.

That is a real coding bug that the new binutils has found and
highlighted.  bttv_probe() calls bttv_remove() which is defined as
__devexit, bttv_remove() is not there when the code is built in.  Take
it up with the bttv maintainer, it is a coding error, not binutils.
