# This script checks the head of a vmlinux for linker stubs that
# break our placement of fixed-location code for 64-bit.
# based on relocs_check.pl
# Copyright © 2009 IBM Corporation
# NOTE!
#
# If the build dies here, it's likely code in head_64.S/exception-64*.S or
# nearby, is branching to labels it can't reach directly, which results in the
# linker inserting branch stubs. This can move code around in ways that break
# the fixed section calculations (head-64.h). To debug this, disassemble the
# vmlinux and look for branch stubs (long_branch, plt_branch, etc.) in the
# fixed section region (0 - 0x8000ish). Check what code is calling those stubs,
# and perhaps change so a direct branch can reach.
#
# A ".linker_stub_catch" section is used to catch some stubs generated by
# early .text code, which tend to get placed at the start of the section.
# If there are too many such stubs, they can overflow this section. Expanding
# it may help (or reducing the number of stub branches).
#
# Linker stubs use the TOC pointer, so even if fixed section code could
# tolerate them being inserted into head code, they can't be allowed in low
# level entry code (boot, interrupt vectors, etc) until r2 is set up. This
# could cause the kernel to die in early boot.
# Turn this on if you want more debug output:
# set -x
