Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/64: Fix booting large kernels with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2019 14:35:54 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190327033554.4926-1-ruscur@russell.cc> (raw)
With STRICT_KERNEL_RWX enabled anything marked __init is placed at a 16M
boundary. This is necessary so that it can be repurposed later with
different permissions. However, in kernels with text larger than 16M,
this pushes early_setup past 32M, incapable of being reached by the
branch instruction.
Fix this by setting the CTR and branching there instead.
Fixes: 1e0fc9d1eb2b ("powerpc/Kconfig: Enable STRICT_KERNEL_RWX for some configs")
