Try the following instead. It makes the code simpler and easier to debug.It works now. Thanks, Nico. Care to send a patch for it? I'd like to apply it.----- >8 FRom: Nicolas Pitre <redacted> Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 12:06:32 -0500 (EST) Subject: ARM: mach-imx: move early resume code out of the .data section Building the kernel with allyesconfig fails because the i.mx early resume code located in the .data section is unable to fixup the bl relocation as the branch target gets too far away. The idea of having code in the .data section allows for easy access to nearby data using relative addressing while the MMU is off. However it is probably best to move the code back to the .text section where it belongs and fixup the data access instead. This solves the bl reloc issue (at least until this becomes a general problem) and simplifies the code as well. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <redacted>
Applied as a fix for 3.9-rc, thanks. Shawn
