Subject: What does unwcheck.pl do?
Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 17:21:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <523c02d87l.fsf@topspin.com> (raw)

When I build an ia64 kernel, I get a warning about ia64_monarch_init_handler:

	$ make O=../kbuild-ia64
	  Using /data/home/roland/Src/linux-2.6.9 as source for kernel
	  CHK     include/linux/version.h
	make[2]: rch/ia64/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
	  CHK     include/asm-ia64/offsets.h
	  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
	ERROR: ia64_monarch_init_handler: 186 slots, total region length = 0
	1 error detected in 9381 functions.
	make[1]: [unwcheck] Error 1 (ignored)
	  Building modules, stage 2.
	  MODPOST

This is with gcc 3.4.1/binutils 2.15 (built with Dan Kegel's crosstool):

	$ ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc --version
	ia64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 3.4.1

I can see the ERROR: comes from unwcheck.pl but I have no idea what it
is checking (something to do with unwind info?) let alone how to fix
the problem.

Is this benign or is there something to be fixed?

Thanks,
  Roland
