I looked into this problem a bit, it is triggered by CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y

The problem is, that genksyms does not know the __seg_gs keyword and
simply ignores the symbol.

Running:

make V=1 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.symtypes

There is NOTHING regarding const_pcpu_hot in the resulting common.symtypes file.

The unpatched source should also fail here due to __seg_gs keyword,
but it magically didn't.

I don't know what to do here.

Uros.
