When kernel's binary becomes large enough (32M and more) errors may occur during the final linkage stage. It happens because the build system uses short relocations for ARC by default. This problem may be easily resolved by passing -mlong-calls option to GCC to use long absolute jumps (j) instead of short relative branchs (b). But there are fragments of pure assembler code exist which use branchs in inappropriate places and cause a linkage error because of relocations overflow. First of these fragments is .fixup insertion in futex.h and unaligned.c. It inserts a code in the separate section (.fixup) with branch instruction. It leads to the linkage error when kernel becomes large. Second of these fragments is calling scheduler's functions (common kernel code) from entry.S of ARC's code. When kernel's binary becomes large it may lead to the linkage error because scheduler may occur far enough from ARC's code in the final binary.
