GCC 4.8.0, 4.8.1 and 4.8.2 can generate broken epilogues for the
ABI used by the kernel. Apply the patch that is included for GCC
4.8.3 from http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58854.
The issue was found on Yocto/Dora and the patch should be backported
to this branch. A kernel built with Dora's GCC 4.8.1 misbehaved on:
while true;
do
(for i in `seq 1 100`;
do
echo "Log message... $RANDOM";
done) | logger;
done
busybox's syslogd would from time to read a huge negative value and
then exit, strace would get stuck waiting on a syscall. After this
patch it appears to work better.
