Hello,
we've just discovered a linker problem with newer toolchains, that
support --build-id and xip kernels. The resulting vmlinux is about 13
MiB big, but the xipimage ~2GiB.
A look at the vmlinux's objdump shows that the .notes section is around
2 GiB and it's placed by the linker script into the RAM. With the ROM
starting at 0x0 this results into a ~2 GiB big image.

After discarding the .notes section in the objcopy (see patch below) the
resulting binary images has a proper size again.

Could you please send me the configuration you're using to get the XIP
kernel? I'll try to get my head around this problem and check how other
architectures are dealing with the problem.
Thanks!
Pawe?

What about putting the notes section into the read only segment, i.e.
the ROM?
.config is attached. It's against 3.6.10 + some patches. The problem
does not occur with our uclibc based toolchain, which doesn't crate a
.notes section, but it still happens with a newlib based one.

I can put the kernel patches and the toolchain on our ftp for download.

Yes, this is probably a good idea. I'll see to it, thanks!

Could you, please, try the change below? It seems to do the job for me.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: vmlinux.lds: Move .notes section next to the rodata
The .notes, being read-only data by nature, was placed between
read-write .data and .bss. This was harmful in case of XIP
images, as it was placed in the RAM range, most likely far
from the ROM address, inflating the XIP images.
Moving the .notes at the end of the read-only section
(consisting of .text, .rodata and unwind info) fixes the problem.

Works for me. The kernel image links to 640 KiB again.

Thant's the lowest figure I've ever seen for a kernel image. How do you get
there?

It's for a nommu, armv7-m with thumb2 code. It doesn't have much
features, it lack /proc, /sys and even the networking subsystem. You can
find the .config in my previous mail [1].
