From: Paul Mackerras Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2006 22:44:37 +0000 (+1100) Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Eliminate "exceeds stub group size" linker warning X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc5~71 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3ccfc65c5004e5fe5cfbffe43b8acc686680b53e;p=linux-2.6 [PATCH] powerpc: Eliminate "exceeds stub group size" linker warning It turns out that the linker warnings on 64-bit powerpc about "section blah exceeds stub group size" were being triggered by conditional branches in head_64.S branching to global symbols, whether in head_64.S or in other files. This eliminates the warnings by making some global symbols in head_64.S no longer global, and by rearranging some branches. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras [ Yee-haa.
