From: Tony Breeds Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2008 06:50:38 +0000 (+1000) Subject: powerpc: Work around gcc's -fno-omit-frame-pointer bug X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc6~46^2~2 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7563dc64585324f443f5ac107eb6d89ee813a2d2;p=linux-2.6 powerpc: Work around gcc's -fno-omit-frame-pointer bug This bug is causing random crashes (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11414). -fno-omit-frame-pointer is only needed on powerpc when -pg is also supplied, and there is a gcc bug that causes incorrect code generation on 32-bit powerpc when -fno-omit-frame-pointer is used---it uses stack locations below the stack pointer, which is not allowed by the ABI because those locations can and sometimes do get corrupted by an interrupt. This ensures that CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is only selected by ftrace. When CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled we also pass -mno-sched-epilog to work around the gcc codegen bug.
