That # means the lack of AT_BASE_PLATFORM is a user-visible artifact of the # fact that the kernel is using DT CPU features, which we don't want. # # So set it in the DT CPU features code also. # # This results in eg: # $ LD_SHOW_AUXV=1 /bin/true | grep "AT_.*PLATFORM" # AT_PLATFORM: power9 # AT_BASE_PLATFORM:power9 # # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.3.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 66763e9d1f6a8eda00da3a32c007b2af61412c10 # < make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_corenet32_smp_defconfig_powerpc-5.3 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.3.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- corenet32_smp_defconfig # make -s -j 48 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_corenet32_smp_defconfig_powerpc-5.3 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-5.3.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- INFO: Uncompressed kernel (size 0xc2b0e8) overlaps the address of the wrapper(0x400000) INFO: Fixing the link_address of wrapper to (0xd00000) Image Name: Linux-4.16.0-rc2-g66763e9 Created: Wed Mar 14 01:46:07 2018 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 5809504 Bytes = 5673.34 kB = 5.54 MB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_corenet32_smp_defconfig_powerpc-5.3 # Build took: 0:01:39.027021
