Subject: [PATCH 08/12] ARM32: module: handle more relocations
Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 12:54:34 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260115115924.3428886-9-a.fatoum@barebox.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260115115924.3428886-1-a.fatoum@barebox.org>
Compiling with arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (Debian 14.2.0-19) 14.2.0
generates a few more relocation types than the module loader currently
supports.
Import support for them from Linux, so we can start automatically
testing this feature.
