next-20160804: Build error when building xtensa images

[Guenter Roeck]

Hi Max,

I see the following build errors when building xtensa images in next-20160804.

Error log:
arch/xtensa/kernel/built-in.o: In function `fast_alloca':
(.text+0x99a): dangerous relocation: j: cannot encode: _WindowUnderflow12
arch/xtensa/kernel/built-in.o: In function `fast_alloca':

arch/xtensa/kernel/built-in.o: In function `window_overflow_restore_a0_fixup':

This affects all images I am testing.

Bisect points to 'xtensa: cleanup MMU setup and kernel layout macros'. Bisect log is attached.

Toolchains tested:
	xtensa-linux-gcc (Buildroot 2014.02-rc2-00048-g088ed8d) 4.7.3
	GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22

Thanks for the report. The default kernel load address in this patch
was wrong. Fix posted.

xtensa builds still fails with that same error.
Did the fix make its way to linux-next?

xtensa defconfig for next-20160824 is at:
