These are emitted by the linker, and due to the fact that the kallsyms region is empty in the first pass, and populated in the second, the number of emitted veneers changes, which changes the contents of the symbol table etc etc The second patch keeps the contents of drivers/built-in.o into as separate inputs into the final link stage. This ensures that the linker can emit the veneers against out-of-range functions in a location that is not out of range itself. (*) It produces a ~75 MB zImage; whether it runs is another question Ard Biesheuvel (2): Kbuild: kallsyms: ignore veneers emitted by the ARM linker Kbuild: avoid partial linking of drivers/built-in.o Makefile | 12 +++++++++++- scripts/kallsyms.c | 17 ++++++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.2
