Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (powerpc related)

Hi all,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
allyesconfig) failed like this:

I started building with gcc 4.6.3/binutils 2.22 today. gcc
4.6.0/binutils 2.21 do not produce this error, it produces this instead
(which has been happening for a long time):

powerpc64-linux-ld: TOC section size exceeds 64k

I hate our ABI is a good answer ? :-)

I'll see what I can do tomorrow. Poke me when I'm in the office.

Those seem to be caused because we don't have a nop after the call,
meaning we can't patch the TOC pointer on the way back. Adding a nop
fixes those.

But, then I get 32,410 variants of this:

powerpc64-linux-ld: /src/next/net/openvswitch/vport-netdev.c:189:(.text+0x89b990):
sibling call optimization to `_restgpr0_28' does not allow automatic multiple TOCs;
recompile with -mminimal-toc or -fno-optimize-sibling-calls, or make `_restgpr0_28' extern


And those are generated calls so I don't see how we can fix them.

So presumably there's some new error checking that we're hitting, I
imagine it was always broken, but now it's being more explicit.

I think we need some help from the toolchain experts, hi Alan :)

Is this a module ? We should really be linking that stuff directly with the module....

The interesting thing is that we do build everything except a handful of
files with -mminimal-toc unless something's wrong with our main Makefile....

Can you show the full build command that triggers the above ?

Cheers,
Ben.

No, it's builtin.

Yeah, the top arch Makefile sets it, though we do override it in a few
places. I tried removing those overrides and it didn't seem to make any
difference.

Well that would be a few MBs of log, but here's an excerpt:

And then a whole bunch of calls to ld.

So we are at least building that file with -mminimal-toc.

These functions should not need a TOC in the first place. There is
code in the linker (for 64 bit only: bfd/elf64-ppc.c) to automatically
generate them whenever they are needed.

I suspect you compile with -Os. But I don't think you can use
these functions when doing a sibling call since restgpr0_nn
implies a return to the caller. restgpr1_nn would be different...

I'm not so sure. I suspect gcc, but upgrading gcc and binutils at the
same time may not be the wisest...

Linker bug. That's not a sibling call, but a normal function return
via an out-of-line register restore function. Will fix. I'm a bit
surprised to see this with gcc-4.6 though. Or does this gcc-4.6 have
some of my recent mainline gcc patches enabling out-of-line
save/restore functions for -Os?

I couldn't see how this might be occurring, then I remembered the
kernel has this horrible practise of using ld -r to package object
files. So linker generated functions might be munged together with
other functions. Does this help? (It won't if the kernel is
providing its own save/restore functions.)
