Subject: 4.9-rc G5 build broken with a 2.23 binutils
Date: Sun, 6 Nov 2016 20:03:38 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LSU.2.11.1611061953120.11253@eggly.anvils> (raw)

Hi Nick,

I've not been able to build 4.9-rc kernels for the PowerMac G5, getting

arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:
Assembler messages:
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:770: Error: operand out of range
(0xffffffffffff8100 is not between 0x0000000000000000 and 0x000000000000ffff)
and 20 more similar before
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:1024: Error: operand out of range
(0xffffffffffff9180 is not between 0x0000000000000000 and 0x000000000000ffff)
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o] Error 1

That's with the binutils-2.23.2-8.1.4.ppc64 from openSUSE 13.1.

But yesterday your comment on @l in
a24553dd02dc ("powerpc/pseries: Remove unnecessary syscall trampoline")
helped me to the patch below (removing @l from LOAD_HANDLER, but leaving
@l in __LOAD_HANDLER), which gets the build working again (and produces
a good kernel).  For me.  But to judge by your comment, this would break
the build for someone else?  I don't mind keeping this as a local patch
if I'm the only one affected, so haven't signed off on it; but thought
I'd better inform you.

Hugh
