  [PATCH] ia64: fix module loading for gcc-5.4 "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com> - 2017-05-01 21:00 +0200

#1633812 — [PATCH] ia64: fix module loading for gcc-5.4

From: Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox@gentoo.org>

Starting from gcc-5.4+ gcc generates MLX
instructions in more cases to refer local
symbols:
    https://gcc.gnu.org/PR60465

That caused ia64 module loader to choke
on such instructions:
    fuse: invalid slot number 1 for IMM64

Linux kernel used to handle only case where
relocation pointed to slot=2 instruction in
the bundle. That limitation was fixed in linux by
commit 9c184a073bfd ("[IA64] Fix 2.6 kernel for the new ia64 assembler")
See http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1433

This change lifts the slot=2 restriction from
linux kernel module loader.

Tested on 'fuse' and 'btrfs' kernel modules.
