Subject: Re: arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: section .rodata VMA overlaps section .bss VMA
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2020 13:30:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200711123025.GM1551@shell.armlinux.org.uk> (raw)

I doubt anyone is going to fix this; it's an XIP kernel, and it looks
like the .data and .rodata sections are correctly placed as per the
configuration, but for some reason the .text (and sections that follow)
are incorrectly placed in VMA space.  The configuration file says that
the kernel should start at 0x00080000, and there's no way the .text
VMA should be starting at 0x3f0801a0.

Unless one of the XIP using folk can debug this, I doubt there will be
any movement on it.  Especially as it's 5 months old...

What do we do with bugs like this that people won't fix?  Remove XIP
support from the kernel?
