[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] binutils: backport first section frag alignment fix for xtensa gas

Max Filippov jcmvbkbc at gmail.com
Wed May 7 22:51:04 UTC 2014


This fixes the following build error often seen during linux kernel
linking step with relaxation enabled:

  dangerous relocation: call8: misaligned call target: (.text.unlikely+0x63)

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix alignment for the first section frag on xtensa
+
+Linking object files produced by partial linking with link-time
+relaxation enabled sometimes fails with the following error message:
+
+dangerous relocation: call8: misaligned call target: (.text.unlikely+0x63)
+
+This happens because no basic block with an XTENSA_PROP_ALIGN flag in the
+property table is generated for the first basic block, even if the
+.align directive is present.
+It was believed that the first frag alignment could be derived from the
+section alignment, but this was not implemented for the partial linking
+case: after partial linking first frag of a section may become not
+first, but no additional alignment frag is inserted before it.
+Basic block for such frag may be merged with previous basic block into
+extended basic block during relaxation pass losing its alignment
+restrictions.
+
+Fix this by always recording alignment for the first section frag.
