From bba496656a73fc1d1330b49c7f82843836e9feb1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe Leroy christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2021 13:07:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/32: Fix boot failure with GCC latent entropy plugin
Boot fails with GCC latent entropy plugin enabled.
This is due to early boot functions trying to access 'latent_entropy' global data while the kernel is not relocated at its final destination yet.
As there is no way to tell GCC to use PTRRELOC() to access it, disable latent entropy plugin in early_32.o and feature-fixups.o and code-patching.o
