Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/boot: request no dynamic linker for boot wrapper
Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2016 12:42:26 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161128014226.7656-1-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)

The boot wrapper performs its own relocations and does not require
PT_INTERP segment.

Without this option, binutils 2.28 and newer tries to create a program
header segment due to PT_INTERP, and the link fails because there is no
space for it.

   A recent binutils commit:
   https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=1a9ccd70f9a75dc6b48d340059f28ef3550c107b
   has broken kernel builds:

     ld: arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N
     ld: final link failed: Bad value

Hi,

I think this should do the trick (zImage.pseries compiles and boots
mambo here, haven't tested zImage.epapr). Cc'ing Alan just in case :)

Thanks,
Nick
