Subject: [PATCH] arm64: vmlinux.lds.S: keep .entry.tramp.text section
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2021 15:03:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210226140352.3477860-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

When building with CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION,
I sometimes see an assertion

 ld.lld: error: Entry trampoline text too big

This happens when any reference to the trampoline is discarded at link
time. Marking the section as KEEP() avoids the assertion, but I have
not figured out whether this is the correct solution for the underlying
problem.
