Hi Max,

I see the following build errors when building xtensa images in next-20160804.

Error log:
arch/xtensa/kernel/built-in.o: In function `fast_alloca':
(.text+0x99a): dangerous relocation: j: cannot encode: _WindowUnderflow12 arch/xtensa/kernel/built-in.o: In function `fast_alloca':

(.text+0x23dd): dangerous relocation: j: cannot encode: (.DoubleExceptionVector.text+0x104)

This affects all images I am testing.

Bisect points to 'xtensa: cleanup MMU setup and kernel layout macros'. Bisect log is attached.

Toolchains tested:

	xtensa-linux-gcc (Buildroot 2014.02-rc2-00048-g088ed8d) 4.7.3
	GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22

This affects all images I am testing.

Bisect points to 'xtensa: cleanup MMU setup and kernel layout macros'.

Thanks for the report. The default kernel load address in this patch was wrong. Fix posted.

xtensa builds still fails with that same error.
Did the fix make its way to linux-next?
