4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ [ Upstream commit d071ae09a4a1414c1433d5ae9908959a7325b0ad ] Accessing per-CPU variables is done by finding the offset of the variable in the per-CPU block and adding it to the address of the respective CPU's block. Section 3.10.8 of ld.bfd's documentation states: For expressions involving numbers, relative addresses and absolute addresses, ld follows these rules to evaluate terms: Other binary operations, that is, between two relative addresses not in the same section, or between a relative address and an absolute address, first convert any non-absolute term to an absolute address before applying the operator." Note that LLVM's linker does not adhere to the GNU ld's implementation and as such requires implicitly-absolute terms to be explicitly marked as absolute in the linker script. If not, it fails currently with: ld.lld: error: ./arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:153: at least one side of the expression must be absolute ld.lld: error: ./arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:154: at least one side of the expression must be absolute Makefile:1040: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed This is not a functional change for ld.bfd which converts the term to an absolute symbol anyways as specified above.
