[1] is currently in the UML tree, destined for 5.18, but it is buggy, as I note in [2]. This series is an alternative to [2], which has not been picked up yet, so it is based on the current UML tree. If [2] is picked up, I can rework the first patch to remove the '-mno-global-merge' filtering from arch/um/Makefile; otherwise, this should be picked up in place of [2]. I intentionally kept the first patch vague around what fixed the modpost warnings, as I am not too sure. [3] seems somewhat likely, but I don't think that will revert cleanly on main to test. I think the testing is enough to show that the original issue is resolved but I do note that we can add this flag back in the architecture specific Makefiles if needed. Please review and ack as necessary.
