      powerpc: Check for unsupported relocs when using CONFIG_RELOCATABLE · 144ef909
      Tony Breeds 提交于
      When using CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, we build the kernel as a position
      independent executable. The kernel then uses a little bit of relocation
      code to relocate itself. That code only deals with R_PPC64_RELATIVE
      relocations though. If for some reason you use assembly constructs
      such as LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() to load the address of a symbol, you'll
      generate different kinds of relocations that won't be processed properly
      and bad things will happen. (We have 2 such bugs today).
      
      The perl script tries to filter out "known" bad ones. It's possible
      that we are missing some in the case of a weak function that nobody
      implements, we'll see if we get false positive and fix it.
