The comment above needs some updating too. Something along these lines: /* exclude also MIPS ELF local symbols (eg. $L123) and h8300 (eg .LM10) */ Other than that, the patch seems fine. -- Paulo Marques - www.grupopie.com "...so she told me it was either her or the ham radio, over." --
At Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:00:05 +0100,
Thanks reply.
Update comment.
And same problem in modpost.
Warning message dirty.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x304b): Section mismatch in reference from the variable .LM10 to the variable .init.text:_free_area_init
The function .LM10() references
the variable __init _free_area_init.
This is often because .LM10 lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of _free_area_init is wrong.
fix it.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x304b): Section mismatch in reference from the variable _paging_init to the variable .init.text:___alloc_bootmem
The function _paging_init() references
the variable __init ___alloc_bootmem.
This is often because _paging_init lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of ___alloc_bootmem is wrong.

return ...This patch broke kallsyms on powerpc. Please see http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2008-September/062549.html --
I've just looked at that post and it seems that there are a lot of regular symbols that start with '.' on powerpc (see: http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/nm-n.txt ). I guess the best solution would be to change the patch to use that filter only when the target architecture is h8300, so that it doesn't mess with other architectures. -- Paulo Marques - www.grupopie.com "To be, or not to be? That is ..... liable to be removed at -O2 and above." --
At Sun, 7 Sep 2008 23:56:27 -0700, Hmm... h8300 local symbol head of '.L'. But powerpc don't have '.L' pattern. I think add condition "str[1] == 'L'". -- Yoshinori Sato <ysato@users.sourceforge.jp> --
No, that won't work right on PowerPC if there's function called something like LookUpTable: we want the symbol ".LookUpTable". Hugh --
At Tue, 9 Sep 2008 00:39:40 +0100 (BST), OK. This case can't pattern match. I Add h8300 special mode. -- Yoshinori Sato <ysato@users.sourceforge.jp> --

It's OK?
