[ Upstream commit df057cc7b4fa59e9b55f07ffdb6c62bf02e99a00 ]

Cortex-A53 processors <= r0p4 are affected by erratum #843419 which can
lead to a memory access using an incorrect address in certain sequences
headed by an ADRP instruction.

There is a linker fix to generate veneers for ADRP instructions, but
this doesn't work for kernel modules which are built as unlinked ELF
objects.

This patch adds a new config option for the erratum which, when enabled,
builds kernel modules with the mcmodel=large flag. This uses absolute
addressing for all kernel symbols, thereby removing the use of ADRP as
a PC-relative form of addressing. The ADRP relocs are removed from the
module loader so that we fail to load any potentially affected modules.

arm64: module: ensure instruction is little-endian before manipulation 2013-11-05T10:23:13+00:00 Will Deacon will.deacon@arm.com 2013-11-05T10:16:52+00:00 122e2fa0d310d262cb85cf0b003032e5d2bc2ae7 Relocations that require an instruction immediate to be re-encoded must ensure that the instruction pattern is represented in a little-endian format for the manipulation code to work correctly.
