Subject: gcov/lkm/arm-eabi/gcc 4.7.2 issue
Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 19:43:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <511A7F2B.20308@reliableembeddedsystems.com> (raw)

Hi,

There seems to be an issue with gcov on kernel modules if you have an
arm-eabi gcc on Linux 3.8-rc6 and previous versions.

./arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc --version
arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc (GCC) 4.7.2

I followed these instructions [1], but without much success.

In case I compile an out of tree kernel module with gcov enabled it can
not be loaded and issues the following error: "unknown relocation: 38"

I tried this patch [2] as well without success. It loads now, but still
nothing useful in /sys/kernel/debug/gcov

Please advise,

Regards,

Robert
