It is commit 451133cefa upstream.
Please consider merging for the next toolchain release. I don't expect major conflicts if any.
Hi Adhemerval,
FAOD, are you planning to merge this feature into linaro's 2.25 or 2.24 branch?
My [very light] preference is to merge it to 2.25, but not 2.24.
Thanks,
Do we need it to 2.24? Is this patch preventing current kernel builds for older binutils releases?
Current kernels are fine without it. My work on kernel tinification requires it though. Depending on when this work will be ready for wider consumption, it would be nice if our binutils already carried the necessary support.
I don't know what the 2.24 vs 2.25 release timeline is, but if 2.25 is released, say, before next Connect then it should be good enough.
Binutils 2.24 was officially released 2013/12 and Binutils 2.25 at 2014/12. Current distros uses versions from 2.23 (RHEL7/CentOS7), 2.24 (Ubuntu 14), or 2.25 (Debian Jessie) and I think next Linaro toolchain will use 2.25. I would prefer to focus on 2.25, since 2.24 is reaching two years old, however since this modification seems to be very constrained, I do not see much work being required to backport to 2.24.
Well... All I really care about is for this patch to be available in next Linaro toolchain release, or next month's. The actual version number is immaterial to me.
Let's stick with 2.25 then. It should be released within 1-2 month timeframe.
