Subject: lkdtm: mark execute_location as noinline
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ececdc021ba8f48ce87f476dd412e2ed50f9cd8e;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

lkdtm: mark execute_location as noinline

The kernel sometimes fails to link when lkdrm is built-in and
compiled with clang:

relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_CALL against `.bss'

The reason here is that a relocation from .text to .bss fails to
generate a trampoline because .bss is not an executable section.

Marking the function 'noinline' turns the relative branch to .bss
into an absolute branch to the function argument, and that works
fine.
