hello!
i have problems with a kernel module: when i insmod it, i get a segmentation
fault and "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
00000004" oops, so as far as i understand it, it seems like relocation does
not occur properly.
i can reproduce the problem with the attached simple test code. when i insmod
only hello_module.o it works fine, but when i insmod the result of "ld"
(mod.o) i get the error. so it seems the problem is with the linker. or am i
using wrong compiler / linker flags or doing something stupid?
i compile with "gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
- -fno-strict-aliasing -mno-abicalls -G 0 -fno-pic -mcpu=r4600 -mips2
- -Wa,--trap -pipe -mlong-calls -I/usr/src/linux/include -O3 -D__KERNEL__
- -DLINUX -DMESSAGES"
and link with "ld -r -o mod.o hello_module.o b.o"
versions:
* au1500 CPU
* kernel version 2.4.21-pre4 from cvs
* gcc version 3.0.4 (also: gcc version 2.95.4)
* GNU ld version 2.12.90.0.1 20020307 Debian/GNU Linux
* insmod version 2.4.15

thanks for any hints.
btw: this issue is not related to the one i posted about before ("au1500mm
problems") - which is resolved already and was caused by a wrong
initialization of the dual PHY ethernet hardware.
