Subject: Relocation (type 4) overflow on alpha for big module
Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2018 10:07:13 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5bc11e00-258d-a6ea-fe63-ddcfdb847071@linux.ee> (raw)
I decided to try btrfs on one of my alphas and got a surprise - btrfs module does not load:
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'btrfs': Exec format error
dmesg has
module btrfs: Relocation (type 4) overflow vs btrfs_attach_transaction_barrier
Happens both natively on alpha:
binutils 2.30.0 (Gentoo 2.30 p2) and gcc version 7.3.0 (Gentoo 7.3.0-r3 p1.4)
or in cross-compiling:
binutils (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.31.1 and gcc version 8.1.0 (Debian 8.1.0-12)
btrfs.ko has size 2939856. Build-in btrfs initializes and tests itself just fine.
This seems to have happened in the distant past:

Do we have a similar binutils problem again with big modules?
