| |
2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@googlemail.com>
commit 2ae9d293b14d17f35eff624272cfecac7979a2ee upstream. [only 1/2 of the upstream commit was needed for stable - gkh]
New binutils version 2.21.0.20110302-1 started checking that the symbol parameter to the .size directive matches the entry name's symbol parameter, unearthing two mismatches:
AS arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_rm.o arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_rm.S: Assembler messages: arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_rm.S:12: Error: .size expression with symbol `wakeup_code_start' does not evaluate to a constant
arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S: Assembler messages: arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S:1421: Error: .size expression with symbol `apf_page_fault' does not evaluate to a constant
The problem was discovered while using Debian's binutils (2.21.0.20110302-1) and experimenting with binutils from upstream.
Thanks Alexander and H.J. for the vital help.
