Looks good, everything compiles and the static per-cpu variables are
resolved via GOTENT:
Acked-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
For the proper solution, the easiest fix is imho to define a
variant of SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR. The macro is currently used for dynamic
pointers and for per-cpu symbols. We only want to use the GOTENT
indirection for per-cpu symbols. So why don't we split it into
1) SHIFT_PERCPU_SYMBOL for per-cpu symbols and
2) SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR for dynamically allocated pointers?
For s390 the first would be the current SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR macro, the
second would be a simple RELOC_HIDE. The patch would be really
short ..
