Subject: arm64: errata: Add -mpc-relative-literal-loads to build flags
From: dann frazier <dann.frazier@canonical.com>
commit 67dfa1751ce71e629aad7c438e1678ad41054677 upstream.
GCC6 (and Linaro's 2015.12 snapshot of GCC5) has a new default that uses
adrp/ldr or adrp/add to address literal pools. When CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419
is enabled, modules built with this toolchain fail to load:
module libahci: unsupported RELA relocation: 275
This patch fixes the problem by passing '-mpc-relative-literal-loads'
to the compiler.
