For ARM defconfig (i.e. multi_v7_defconfig), modpost fails to detect some types of section mismatches. [test code] #include <linux/init.h> int __initdata foo; int get_foo(void) { return foo; } It is apparently a bad reference, but modpost does not report anything. The test code above produces the following relocations. Relocation section '.rel.text' at offset 0x200 contains 2 entries: Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym. Name 00000000 0000062b R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC 00000000 .LANCHOR0 00000004 0000062c R_ARM_MOVT_ABS 00000000 .LANCHOR0 Currently, R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS are just skipped. Add code to handle them. I checked arch/arm/kernel/module.c to learn how the offset is encoded in the instruction. The referenced symbol in relocation might be a local anchor. If is_valid_name() returns false, let's search for a better symbol name. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
