From 4731f8b66dd34ebf0e67ca6ba9162b0e509bec06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Silverstone Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2009 11:11:43 +0100 Subject: [ARM] 5428/1: Module relocation update for R_ARM_V4BX It would seem when building kernel modules with modern binutils (required by modern GCC) for ARM v4T targets (specifically observed with the Samsung 24xx SoC which is an 920T) R_ARM_V4BX relocations are emitted for function epilogues. This manifests at module load time with an "unknown relocation: 40" error message. The following patch adds the R_ARM_V4BX relocation to the ARM kernel module loader. The relocation operation is taken from that within the binutils bfd library.
