[ 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].
