I am not sure there's any guarantee that by the time we get to this line relocation for "Unknown relocation type"(or original "") string would be processed and panic() would get right arguments not to mention all of the functions called as a part of panic() and their potential dependencies. Another thing about painc() is in PBL it completely ignores passed arguments, so no message will be printed there. Maybe it'd make sense to go in a different direction and drop calls to panic() altogether and replace them with: puts_ll(relocation_failed_message()); hang(); where relocation_failed_message() on ARM can be something like: .section .text.relocation_failed_message ENTRY(relocation_failed_message) push {lr} bl 1f .byte 'U, 'n, 'k, 'n, 'o, 'w, 'n, '\ , 'r, 'e, 'l, 'o, 'c, 'a, 't, 'i, 'o, 'n, '\ , 't, 'y, 'p, 'e, '\r, '\n, 0x00 1: mov r0, lr /* In case we are in thumb */ bic r0, r0, #1 pop {pc} ENDPROC(relocation_failed_message) to guarantee that it won't depend on relocation? Might be an overkill though, so take this with a grain of salt.

I think that would really be arch dependent. If you were testing on AArch64, which is much better about PC-relative addressing, then yeah, that's what I'd expect. In the case of ARM however what we get is (RDU2 in my case): 7ad1a: 4805 ldr r0, [pc, #20] ; (7ad30 <relocate_to_current_adr+0x88>) 7ad1c: f786 fa5c bl 11d8 <panic> 7ad20: 000f9df0 .word 0x000f9df0 7ad24: 000f9e20 .word 0x000f9e20 7ad28: 000d4600 .word 0x000d4600 7ad2c: 000f9df0 .word 0x000f9df0 7ad30: 000a26be .word 0x000a26be as well as a corresponding relocation: arm-none-eabi-objdump -R barebox | grep 7ad30 0007ad30 R_ARM_RELATIVE *ABS* so, AFAICT, it's definitely going to have to be processed before it can be used. More so, even if the right string address is passed, we still would have to make sure that all of the functions that implementation of panic() is using are not a subject to the same problem. I think _that_ is a much bigger problem and that's why I think we should move away from using panic() in that particular part of the code base. > Do you know if GCC can be coerced to always do that? I don't think there's a way (to my knowledge, of course) and I think on ARM you'd be facing a fundamental limitation on how far PC-relative addressing can reach. I tried placing the string right after the function with __attribute__((section(".text.relocate_to_current_adr.data"))) but GCC didn't really pick it up and still used absolute address constant.
