Permit me to be the bearer of bad architecture news once again. With
arm64 cross compiler (both Fedora 6.1.1 and Linaro 5.1)
CC drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata.o
OBJCOPY drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata_objcopy.o
LD drivers/misc/lkdtm.o
drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata_objcopy.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
scripts/Makefile.build:423: recipe for target 'drivers/misc/lkdtm.o' failed
make[2]: *** [drivers/misc/lkdtm.o] Error 1
scripts/Makefile.build:440: recipe for target 'drivers/misc' failed
make[1]: *** [drivers/misc] Error 2
Makefile:985: recipe for target 'drivers' failed
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
As far as I can tell this is because arm64 defines OBJCOPYFLAGS and they get
propagated to objcopy
aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .note.gnu.build-id -R .comment
-S --set-section-flags .text=alloc,readonly
--rename-section .text=.rodata drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata.o drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata_objcopy.o
vs x86
objcopy --set-section-flags .text=alloc,readonly --rename-section .text=.rodata
drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata.o drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata_objcopy.o
specifically it's the -O binary that seems to break things, the same failure
happens on x86 as well with the the same commands. It works if I clear out
the OBJCOPYFLAGS variable first but I don't think that's the correct way to
fix this.
Thanks,
Laura
