[PATCH 4.4 050/342] arm64: errata: Add -mpc-relative-literal-loads to build flags

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 01 2016 - 20:29:08 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: dann frazier <dann.frazier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
