Subject: [PATCH] ARM: kprobes: work around build errors
Date: Sat, 08 Oct 2011 17:07:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2056947.a9vGLIKRYk@wuerfel> (raw)

I got a few build errors for kprobes playing with randconfig on the
latest kernel. While this patch manages to avoid these errors, I'm
pretty sure that it is not the ideal solution.

The errors I got in arm are while building for ARMv6 with
the arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.6 provided by Linaro, which
results in these messages:

/tmp/ccGpftnj.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccGpftnj.s:22066: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `mls r0,r1,r2,r3'

/tmp/ccGpftnj.s:25836: Warning: base register written back, and overlaps second transfer register

The errors for the thumb variant are using the same tool
chain, but obviously in v7 thumb2 mode. The error I got
is

/tmp/cczp95OW.s:18721: Error: offset out of range

Reducing the amount of padding in the "TEST_BF_X("bpl.w 2f",0x1000)"
test case resolves this, and I experimentally found 0xe20 to be the
maximum value in this location, but that is different if I change the
surrounding code. This one is much harder to reproduce and I can
provide the configuration file I used if that helps.
