MIPS Assembly.

[Chris Jones]

Hello;

(Chris I've CC'd you because it was recommended on another mailing list
 that I contact you since you've posted similar things a few years ago
 regarding PIC and no-PIC)

I have been having some trouble compiling a kernel module for a 2.4.25
kernel. I am having problems in specific with <asm-mips/uaccess.h>

The functions in question are:

get_user(j,(int *)data);
and
put_user(chan->blocksize,(int *)data);

Both of these function inturn have inline assembly which the
assembler/compiler complain loudly about.

The offending lines are 

uaccess:245  and
uaccess:336 respectively.

A JUMP instruction:

   j    2b

This is what the compiler/assembler is complaining about:

/tmp/ccGn3TTn.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccGn3TTn.s:7766: Error: Cannot branch to symbol in another section.
/tmp/ccGn3TTn.s:7817: Error: Cannot branch to symbol in another section.

This compiles fine on x86, but does NOT on mips32 or cross-compiled for
mips32.

If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them.

Thanks for your time.
