[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] linux: arc: disable kernel unwinding to fix modules loading

[Alexey Brodkin]

With update of binutils for ARC (this is now based on upstream 2.26)
we noticed issues with loadable kernel modules.

Something like that was happening:
--------------------->8-------------------
mbcache: unknown relocation: 49
insmod: can't insert './mbcache.ko': invalid module format
--------------------->8-------------------

More details could be found in that discussion in binutils mailing list:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/74662

As of now the simplest work-around is to disable in-kernel unwinder
for now. That will at least allow us to use modules again.
