Linux kernel source tree
abf0e8e4ef
Starting with gcc 11.3, the C compiler will generate PLT-relative function calls even if they are local and do not require it. Later on during linking, the linker will replace all PLT-relative calls to local functions with PC-relative ones. Unfortunately, the purgatory code of kexec/kdump is not being linked as a regular executable or shared library would have been, and therefore, all PLT-relative addresses remain in the generated purgatory object code unresolved. This leads to the situation where the purgatory code is being executed during kdump with all PLT-relative addresses unresolved. And this results in endless loops within the purgatory code. Furthermore, the clang C compiler has always behaved like described above and this commit should fix kdump for kernels built with the latter. Because the purgatory code is no regular executable or shared library, contains only calls to local functions and has no PLT, all R_390_PLT32DBL relocation entries can be resolved just like a R_390_PC32DBL one. * https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/ELF/zSeries/lzsabi0_zSeries/x1633.html#AEN1699 Relocation entries of purgatory code generated with gcc 11.3 ------------------------------------------------------------ $ readelf -r linux/arch/s390/purgatory/purgatory.o Relocation section '.rela.text' at offset 0x370 contains 5 entries: Offset Info Type Sym.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
