+    [PATCH] ppc32: Put cache flush routines back into .relocate_code section
+    
+    In 2.6.14, we had the following definition of _GLOBAL() in
+    include/asm-ppc/processor.h:
+    
+    #define _GLOBAL(n)\
+    .stabs __stringify(n:F-1),N_FUN,0,0,n;\
+    .globl n;\
+    n:
+    
+    In 2.6.15, as part of the great powerpc merge, we moved this definition to
+    include/asm-powerpc/ppc_asm.h, where it appears (to 32-bit code) as:
+    
+    #define _GLOBAL(n)      \
+    .text;          \
+    .stabs __stringify(n:F-1),N_FUN,0,0,n;\
+    .globl n;       \
+    n:
+    
+    Mostly, this is fine.  However, we also have the following, in
+    arch/ppc/boot/common/util.S:
+    
+    .section ".relocate_code","xa"
+    [...]
+    _GLOBAL(flush_instruction_cache)
+    [...]
+    _GLOBAL(flush_data_cache)
+    [...]
+    
+    The addition of the .text section definition in the definition of
+    _GLOBAL overrides the .relocate_code section definition.  As a result,
+    these two functions don't end up in .relocate_code, so they don't get
+    relocated correctly, and the boot fails.
+    
+    There's another suspicious-looking usage at kernel/swsusp.S:37 that
+    someone should look into.  I did not exhaustively search the source
+    tree, though.
+    
+    The following is the minimal patch that fixes the immediate problem.
+    I could easily be convinced that the _GLOBAL definition should be
+    modified to remove the ".text;" line either instead of, or in addition
+    to, this fix.
