[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 14/20] riscv: avoid the PIC offset of static percpu data in module beyond 2G limits

[Sasha Levin]

From: Vincent Chen <vincent.chen@sifive.com>

[ Upstream commit 0cff8bff7af886af0923d5c91776cd51603e531f ]

The compiler uses the PIC-relative method to access static variables
instead of GOT when the code model is PIC. Therefore, the limitation of
the access range from the instruction to the symbol address is +-2GB.
Under this circumstance, the kernel cannot load a kernel module if this
module has static per-CPU symbols declared by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). The reason
is that kernel relocates the .data..percpu section of the kernel module to
the end of kernel's .data..percpu. Hence, the distance between the per-CPU
symbols and the instruction will exceed the 2GB limits. To solve this
problem, the kernel should place the loaded module in the memory area
[&_end-2G, VMALLOC_END].
