I see multiple instances of:
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:839: Error: attempt to move .org backwards
in v4.4.y.queue (v4.4.179-143-gc4db218e9451).
This is due to commit 9b2d4e06d7f1 ("powerpc/64s: Add support for a store forwarding barrier at kernel entry/exit"), which is part of a large patch series and can not easily be reverted.
Guess I'll stop doing ppc:allmodconfig builds in v4.4.y ?
Michael, I thought this patch series was supposed to fix ppc issues, not add to them :)
Any ideas on what to do here?
What exact code do you build?
$ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64-linux- allmodconfig $ powerpc64-linux-gcc --version powerpc64-linux-gcc (GCC) 8.3.0
Gcc should not see this file. I am asking because I do not see an .org directive at line 839 of 4.4.179. I probably need some different repo or extra patches to see the same code as you do.
Thanks
Michal
