From 3004eb3b7ee5fd8dfe9c4e5749b4e125d0bd4b59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Holger Hans Peter Freyther Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:45:17 +0100 Subject: gcc: Include patch scheduled for GCC 4.8.3 to fix epilogue on ARM GCC 4.8.0, 4.8.1 and 4.8.2 can generate broken epilogues for the ABI used by the kernel. Apply the patch that is included for GCC 4.8.3 from http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58854. The issue was found on Yocto/Dora and the patch should be backported to this branch. A kernel built with Dora's GCC 4.8.1 misbehaved on: while true; do (for i in `seq 1 100`; do echo "Log message... $RANDOM"; done) | logger; done busybox's syslogd would from time to read a huge negative value and then exit, strace would get stuck waiting on a syscall. After this patch it appears to work better.
