grsecurity-2.1.14-2.6.31-200909112301 wont compile

sure it is: http://vetala.org.ua/config

2.19 linked this fine but that can be due to other reasons as well. in any case, could you stick a

Code: Select all

. = ALIGN(16);

just before the .init.data section in arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S (similar to how .init.setup has one already) and see if it helps?

I have added as suggested.
. = ALIGN(16);
.init.data : AT(ADDR(.init.data) - LOAD_OFFSET) {


Unfortunately the same error:

LD vmlinux
ld: section .init.data [0000000001843860 -> 0000000001876c46] overlaps section .exit.text [0000000001841ee0 -> 0000000001843861]
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

I would compile with 2.19, but can't find an rpm to update on centos5. I used your repo to update to 2.18.50 before.

I have this problem too

GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.18.0.20080103
grsecurity-2.1.14-2.6.31-200909171758.patch

same output as other posts "ld: vmlinux: section .text lma 0x40001100 overlaps previous sections"

The problem should be resolved in the latest patch. Let us know if you're still experiencing the same issue.

I ran into the same problem as bopic.

Currently I have tried 2 different pc's with debian/stable/i386 (a VIA C3 and an Intel Atom).

I thought both pc's had exact the same error message (not checked).

So far I tried compiling a vanilla kernel (success), installing the debian/testing version of binutils (i cancelled it since it looked like entering a dependency hell).
Currently my debian/unstable installations are not available for testing due to lack of drive space. Have to make some space later.
Upgrading all my pc's to testing or unstable is not really an option (both have ld 2.19 installed).

I also look at the small patch mentioned by Paxteam, but that is a different problem.

this linker error too should be fixed in the latest patch now.

Thanks, the new patch works.
