[PATCH v4.14] kexec_file: drop weak attribute from arch_kexec_apply_relocations[_add]
From: Naveen N. Rao
Date: Tue Jun 28 2022 - 11:43:45 EST
commit 3e35142ef99fe6b4fe5d834ad43ee13cca10a2dc upstream.
Since commit d1bcae833b32f1 ("ELF: Don't generate unused section
symbols") [1], binutils (v2.36+) started dropping section symbols that
it thought were unused. This isn't an issue in general, but with
kexec_file.c, gcc is placing kexec_arch_apply_relocations[_add] into a
separate .text.unlikely section and the section symbol ".text.unlikely"
is being dropped. Due to this, recordmcount is unable to find a non-weak
symbol in .text.unlikely to generate a relocation record against.
Address this by dropping the weak attribute from these functions.
Instead, follow the existing pattern of having architectures #define the
name of the function they want to override in their headers.
