From ececdc021ba8f48ce87f476dd412e2ed50f9cd8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2016 15:34:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] lkdtm: mark execute_location as noinline The kernel sometimes fails to link when lkdrm is built-in and compiled with clang: relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_CALL against `.bss' The reason here is that a relocation from .text to .bss fails to generate a trampoline because .bss is not an executable section. Marking the function 'noinline' turns the relative branch to .bss into an absolute branch to the function argument, and that works fine.
