Hi Max, I see the following build errors when building xtensa images in next-20160804.
Error log: arch/xtensa/kernel/built-in.o: In function `fast_alloca': (.text+0x99a): dangerous relocation: j: cannot encode: _WindowUnderflow12 arch/xtensa/kernel/built-in.o: In function `fast_alloca': (.text+0x99d): dangerous relocation: j: cannot encode: _WindowUnderflow8 arch/xtensa/kernel/built-in.o: In function `fast_alloca': (.text+0x9a0): dangerous relocation: j: cannot encode: _WindowUnderflow4 arch/xtensa/kernel/built-in.o: In function `window_overflow_restore_a0_fixup': (.text+0x23a3): dangerous relocation: j: cannot encode: (.DoubleExceptionVector.text+0x104) arch/xtensa/kernel/built-in.o: In function `window_overflow_restore_a0_fixup': (.text+0x23c1): dangerous relocation: j: cannot encode: (.DoubleExceptionVector.text+0x104) arch/xtensa/kernel/built-in.o: In function `window_overflow_restore_a0_fixup': (.text+0x23dd): dangerous relocation: j: cannot encode: (.DoubleExceptionVector.text+0x104) This affects all images I am testing. Bisect points to 'xtensa: cleanup MMU setup and kernel layout macros'. Bisect log is attached.
