Subject: [PATCH] fix 3.16 unknown rela relocation 4 error
Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2020 22:16:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48d562fd-f80a-69ae-56e5-d0bada0feeed@gmail.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1571 bytes --]
Trying to use an AMD64 3.16 kernel built on a new Debian system fails
because
most of the kernel modules can not be loaded.
This patch handles the PLT32 relocation errors for kernels modules built
with binutils
newer then 2.31, similar to:
[ 5.742485] module: autofs4: Unknown rela relocation: 4
[ 5.742536] systemd[1]: Failed to insert module 'autofs4': Exec
format error
This patch is based on a mainline kernel patch
