14# NOTE!

16# If the build dies here, it's likely code in head_64.S/exception-64*.S or
17# nearby, is branching to labels it can't reach directly, which results in the
18# linker inserting branch stubs. This can move code around in ways that break
19# the fixed section calculations (head-64.h). To debug this, disassemble the
20# vmlinux and look for branch stubs (long_branch, plt_branch, etc.) in the
21# fixed section region (0 - 0x8000ish). Check what code is calling those stubs,
22# and perhaps change so a direct branch can reach.
23#
24# A ".linker_stub_catch" section is used to catch some stubs generated by
25# early .text code, which tend to get placed at the start of the section.
26# If there are too many such stubs, they can overflow this section. Expanding
27# it may help (or reducing the number of stub branches).
28#
29# Linker stubs use the TOC pointer, so even if fixed section code could
30# tolerate them being inserted into head code, they can't be allowed in low
31# level entry code (boot, interrupt vectors, etc) until r2 is set up. This
32# could cause the kernel to die in early boot.
