Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 41/64] arm64: errata: Add -mpc-relative-literal-loads to build flags

4.2.8-ckt4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: dann frazier <dann.frazier@...onical.com>

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.

Fixes: df057cc7b4fa ("arm64: errata: add module build workaround for erratum #843419")
