We'll get an arbitrary memory dereference (two, actually) in the opal wrappers, when we try to load the opal entry point & return address from the TOC, as r2 may not point to a valid TOC for the kernel. >> This change uses the _GLOBAL_TOC() macro (rather than _GLOBAL) for the >> opal wrappers, so that we can do non-local calls to them. > > Are we doing that now, or we would like to? We'd like to; although we do EXPORT_SYMBOL on another wrapper (opal_invalid_call()) already. From the call name though, I figure it's not in any mission-critical usage :) Cheers, Jeremy _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
