Subject: [PATCHv2] arch/arm/Kconfig: default ARM_MODULE_PLTS to 'y'
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2018 21:19:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180131201911.19253-1-anders.roxell@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180129234900.11121-1-anders.roxell@linaro.org>

While testing multi_v7_defconfig with LOCKDEP enabled, the kernel
fails to load simple modules, as reported by kselftest:

[   34.107620] test_printf: section 4 reloc 2 sym 'memset': relocation
28 out of range (0xbf046044 -> 0xc109f720)
selftests: printf.sh [FAIL]

The problem that is seen when LOCKDEP is enabled without
ARM_MODULE_PLTS, is that LOCKDEP eats so much memory that the top of the
kernel gets out of reach from the bottom of the module area.
