[PATCH] powerpc/vdso32: mark __kernel_datapage_offset as STV_PROTECTED

From: Fangrui Song
Date: Tue Feb 04 2020 - 19:51:01 EST


A PC-relative relocation (R_PPC_REL16_LO in this case) referencing a
preemptible symbol in a -shared link is not allowed. GNU ld's powerpc
port is permissive and allows it [1], but lld will report an error after
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git/commit/?id=ec0895f08f99515194e9fcfe1338becf6f759d38

Make the symbol protected so that it is non-preemptible but still
exported.
