Subject: [PATCH] depmod: Ignore PowerPC64 ABIv2 .TOC. symbo The .TOC. symbol on the PowerPC64 ABIv2 identifies the GOT pointer, similar to how other architectures use _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. This is not a symbol that needs relocation, and should be ignored by depmod. --- tools/depmod.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/depmod.c b/tools/depmod.c index 6e9bb4d..a2e07c1 100644 --- a/tools/depmod.c +++ b/tools/depmod.c @@ -2153,6 +2153,8 @@ static void depmod_add_fake_syms(struct depmod *depmod) depmod_symbol_add(depmod, "__this_module", true, 0, NULL); /* On S390, this is faked up too */ depmod_symbol_add(depmod, "_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_", true, 0, NULL); + /* On PowerPC64 ABIv2, .TOC. is more or less _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ */ + depmod_symbol_add(depmod, "TOC.", true, 0, NULL); } static int depmod_load_symvers(struct depmod *depmod, const char *filename) -- 2.5.0
