Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1619122
This patch fixes the "Unhandled rela relocation: R_X86_64_PLT32" error
that we are seeing with Fedora 29 (and newer kernels > 4.18) which
trying to run kexec/kdump on x86_64 machines.
The patch is being discussed upstream and has been ACK'ed by Baoquan and
myself (see <
https://www.spinics.net/lists/kexec/msg21255.html>) and I
have also tested the same on Fedora 29/rawhide x86_64 machine as well:
Before the patch:
----------------
[root@hp-bl480c-01 ~]# kdumpctl restart
kexec: unloaded kdump kernel
Stopping kdump: [OK]
Unhandled rela relocation: R_X86_64_PLT32
kexec: failed to load kdump kernel
Starting kdump: [FAILED]
After the patch:
---------------
[root@hp-bl480c-01 ~]# kdumpctl restart
kexec: unloaded kdump kernel
Stopping kdump: [OK]
kexec: loaded kdump kernel
Starting kdump: [OK]
Suggested Upstream Fix:
In response to a change in binutils, commit b21ebf2fb4c
(x86: Treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as R_X86_64_PC32) was applied to
the linux kernel during the 4.16 development cycle and has
since been backported to earlier stable kernel series. The
change results in the failure message in $SUBJECT when
rebooting via kexec.
Fix this by replicating the change in kexec.
