From e2b99fa1904988e0eeaccd4c98a8e5ec782952f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam bobroff Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2015 11:22:34 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: disable binutils 2.24 for little endian Binutils 2.24 produces broken code when compiling the kernel for ppc64le, so prevent this combination. See: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-12/msg00200.html The problem manifests early in the boot process with "Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11" in arch_match_cpu_phys_id(). The fix has been merged upstream as commit 57fa7b8c7e59e35bced580f9bcb9668af43fdbce, which is available since Binutils 2.25.
