From df057cc7b4fa59e9b55f07ffdb6c62bf02e99a00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2015 12:15:02 +0000 Subject: arm64: errata: add module build workaround for erratum #843419 Cortex-A53 processors <= r0p4 are affected by erratum #843419 which can lead to a memory access using an incorrect address in certain sequences headed by an ADRP instruction. There is a linker fix to generate veneers for ADRP instructions, but this doesn't work for kernel modules which are built as unlinked ELF objects. This patch adds a new config option for the erratum which, when enabled, builds kernel modules with the mcmodel=large flag. This uses absolute addressing for all kernel symbols, thereby removing the use of ADRP as a PC-relative form of addressing. The ADRP relocs are removed from the module loader so that we fail to load any potentially affected modules.
