I'm getting the following error from modpost:
ERROR: modpost: "zero" [arch/riscv/kvm/kvm.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "zero" [drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "zero" [drivers/nvme/host/nvme.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "zero" [drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.ko] undefined!
This seems to be coming from arch/riscv/include/asm/jump_label.h
with the arch_static_branch_jump() assembling some code:

Changing the jal zero to jal x0 doesn't fix it, it just comes up with
"x0" being undefined.
gcc version 12.2.0 (Debian 12.2.0-9)
GNU assembler version 2.39.50 (riscv64-linux-gnu) using BFD version (GNU
Binutils for Debian) 2.39.50.20221208
I suspect this is a gas bug where it means to assemble a J instruction
to the label without outputting the unused symbol "zero" into the symbol
table. Is the right thing to fix gas, or can the kernel be changed?
FYI:
tmp.s:
1 .text
2
3 1:
4 jal zero, 1b
produces:
0000000000000000 <.L1^B1>:
0: 0000006f j 0 <.L1^B1>
0: R_RISCV_JAL .L1^B1

0000000000000000 t .text
U zero
Current fix is to:

This fixes modpost, not sure if this should be applied or not.

I just checked riscv64-linux-gnu-nm vmlinux.o and it has
U zero
So I guess the linker just ignores this undefined symbol as it is never
actually used for a relocation.

Hey Ben, said I'd give it a run yesterday but didnt...
gcc version 12.2.0 2ee5e430018 ("Update ChangeLog and version files for release")
binutils 2.39 74340608801 (24/12/22)
So that's gcc @ the 12.2 tag & binutils at the tip of the 2.39 branch.
Kernel is from today too:
72a85e2b0a1e ("Merge tag 'spi-fix-v6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi")
I did my usual defconfig (which builds kvm as a module) and allmodconfig
but I see nothing odd out of modpost.
Could you share your config perhaps, or point out what I may be
overlooking setup wise?

I checked the output of nm on my allmodconfig kernel and I do not see
this symbol. Ditto for my regular defconfig that I use.
You mentioned on IRC that you did a rebase on top of Linus' tree, what
is in the extra content on top of that?

For anyone not paying attention to the RISC-V IRC, it is an upstream
binutils issue that does not affect released versions (yet) although it
does affect what is in debian-testing.
The upstream report for the issue is here:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29940
and for debian here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1026979
Thanks,
Conor.
