Linus reported the following commit broke module loading on his laptop:d1091c7fa3("objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends") It showed errors like the following: module: overflow in relocation type 10 val ffffffffc02afc81 module: 'nvme' likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel The problem is that the __unreachable section addresses are stored using the '.long' asm directive, which isn't big enough for .text section kernel addresses. Use relative addresses instead: ".long %c0b - .\t\n" Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Reported-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Fixes:d1091c7fa3("objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170301060504.oltm3iws6fmubnom@treble Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
