4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Mark Rutland <[email protected]> From: Laura Abbott <[email protected]> commit 568c5fe5a54f2654f5a4c599c45b8a62ed9a2013 upstream. Certain architectures may have the kernel image mapped separately to alias the linear map. Introduce a macro lm_alias to translate a kernel image symbol into its linear alias. This is used in part with work to add CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL support for arm64.
