Subject: [PATCH 7/7] arm64: add a workaround for GNU gold with ARM64_MODULE_PLTS
Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2017 15:44:42 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171129234442.655-8-samitolvanen@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171129234442.655-1-samitolvanen@google.com>

All current versions of GNU gold crash when linking kernel modules
with ARM64_MODULE_PLTS due to a known bug:

  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14592

To work around the problem, this change removes NOLOAD from .plt
and .init.plt.
