Subject: [PATCH] Nokia RX-51: Fix compilation with non-zero CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE
Date: Sun, 9 Oct 2022 21:37:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221009193713.12765-1-pali@kernel.org> (raw)
For some unknown reason GNU assembler version 2.31.1 (arm-linux-gnueabi-as
from Debian Buster) cannot compile following code from located in file
board/nokia/rx51/lowlevel_init.S:
kernoffs:
.word KERNEL_OFFSET - (. - CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE)
when CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE is set to 0x80008000. It throws strange compile
error which is even without line number:
AS board/nokia/rx51/lowlevel_init.o
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}: Error: attempt to get value of unresolved symbol `L0'
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:293: board/nokia/rx51/lowlevel_init.o] Error 1
I have no idea about this error and my experiments showed that ARM GNU
assembler is happy with negation of that number. So changing code to:
kernoffs:
.word . - CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE - KERNEL_OFFSET
and then replacing mathematical addition by substraction of "kernoffs"
value (so calculation of address does not change) compiles assembler file
without any error now.
There should be not any functional change.

Btw, is somebody understanding that compile error message? Is there (or
was there) some real issue in the code, so assembler refuse to compile
it? Or have I triggered bug in GNU assembler?
