Okay, so indeed not a table size change issue here. Then I fear some
instrumenting
will be needed to at least know what exactly is going wrong. Alternatively you
could
arrange for the intermediate binaries to not be deleted, and make them available
somehow / somewhere for me to see whether by inspection I can gain some clue.
I prepared a small patch to keep the intermediate artifacts instead of
deleting them.
It removes two cleanup commands:
xen/arch/arm/Makefile: drops rm -f $(@D)/.$(@F).[0-9]* (keeps
.xen-syms.* intermediates)
This alone should be sufficient.
Understood. I have rerun the build with the cleanup line removed
so the intermediate .xen-syms.* files are kept.
The build artifacts are available here:
https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/mykola_kvach/xen/-/jobs/12707528457/artifacts/browse/xen/
Apart from the intermediate files there's a file named xen there, but xen-syms
is missing. I'll see what I can do without that.
Actually, can you give the patch below a try? That would explain the 24-byte
difference (albeit I'm struggling with some other aspects of a proper
explanation).
I had qemu-smoke-dom0less-arm32-gcc-debug-staticmem fail in CI with:
test_symbols: non-zero offset (0x48c) unexpected
https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/jandryuk-amd/xen/-/jobs/12787541697
With your patch added on top, it passed:
https://gitlab.com/xen-project/people/jandryuk-amd/xen/-/jobs/12788189122

The branch includes --gc-sections and associated changes, fwiw.
Thanks,
Jason
