Anybody else seeing these messages?
ppc_4xxFP-ld: .tmp_vmlinux1: section .data..init_task lma 0xc0374000 overlaps previous sections
ppc_4xxFP-ld: .tmp_vmlinux2: section .data..init_task lma 0xc03a2000 overlaps previous sections
ppc_4xxFP-ld: vmlinux: section .data..init_task lma 0xc03a2000 overlaps previous sections
Or does anybody know what they mean? They started showing up in 2.6.35.
Very easy to reproduce, so don't hesitate to ask for more info.
Cheers,
Sean

I had a bit of time, so I tracked this down. This patch seems to be
the culprit: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/19/366
Specifically, this code:
/* The initial task and kernel stack */
- .data.init_task : AT(ADDR(.data.init_task) - LOAD_OFFSET) {
- INIT_TASK_DATA(THREAD_SIZE)
- }
+ INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION(THREAD_SIZE)
If I change it back to:
/* The initial task and kernel stack */
.data..init_task : AT(ADDR(.data..init_task) - LOAD_OFFSET) {
INIT_TASK_DATA(THREAD_SIZE)
}
not only do the warnings go away, but the kernel now boots again!
Cheers,
Sean

It looks like a missing AT() in the output section.
The following patch should also fix it.
Please test and let us know.
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] vmlinux.lds: fix .data..init_task output section (fix popwerpc boot)
The .data..init_task output section was missing
a load offset causing a popwerpc target to fail to boot.
Sean MacLennan tracked it down to the definition of
INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION().
There are only two users of INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION()
in the kernel today: cris and popwerpc.
cris do not support relocatable kernels and is thus not
impacted by this change.
Fix INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION() to specify load offset like
all other output sections.
Reported-by: Sean MacLennan <smaclennan@pikatech.com>
Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
---
On the assumption that Sean reports that it fixes
the warnings/boot issue here is a real patch.
Ben - will you take it via the popwerpc tree
or shall I ask Michal to take it via kbuild?

The subject line tripped my spam filter ...
I'm happy to take it.
Sean, make sure it's on patchwork and it will be in one of my next
