Lockdep has a set of configs used to determine the size of the static arrays that it uses. However, the upper limit that was initially setup for these configs is too high (30 bit shift). This equates to several GiB of static memory for individual symbols. Using such high values leads to linker errors: $ make defconfig $ ./scripts/config -e PROVE_LOCKING --set-val LOCKDEP_BITS 30 $ make olddefconfig all [...] ld: kernel image bigger than KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE ld: section .bss VMA wraps around address space Adjust the upper limits to the maximum values that avoid these issues. The need for anything more, likely points to a problem elsewhere. Note that LOCKDEP_CHAINS_BITS was intentionally left out as its upper limit had a different symptom and has already been fixed [1].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
