2018-03-19	arm64: fix undefined reference to 'printk'	Arnd Bergmann
	The printk symbol was intended as a generic address that is always exported, however that turned out to be false with CONFIG_PRINTK=n: ERROR: "printk" [arch/arm64/kernel/arm64-reloc-test.ko] undefined! This changes the references to memstart_addr, which should be there regardless of configuration.

2018-03-09	arm64/kernel: don't ban ADRP to work around Cortex-A53 erratum #843419	Ard Biesheuvel
	Working around Cortex-A53 erratum #843419 involves special handling of ADRP instructions that end up in the last two instruction slots of a 4k page, or whose output register gets overwritten without having been read. (Note that the latter instruction sequence is never emitted by a properly functioning compiler, which is why it is disregarded by the handling of the same erratum in the bfd.ld linker which we rely on for the core kernel) Normally, this gets taken care of by the linker, which can spot such sequences at final link time, and insert a veneer if the ADRP ends up at a vulnerable offset. However, linux kernel modules are partially linked ELF objects, and so there is no 'final link time' other than the runtime loading of the module, at which time all the static relocations are resolved. For this reason, we have implemented the #843419 workaround for modules by avoiding ADRP instructions altogether, by using the large C model, and by passing -mpc-relative-literal-loads to recent versions of GCC that may emit adrp/ldr pairs to perform literal loads. However, this workaround forces us to keep literal data mixed with the instructions in the executable .text segment, and literal data may inadvertently turn into an exploitable speculative gadget depending on the relative offsets of arbitrary symbols. So let's reimplement this workaround in a way that allows us to switch back to the small C model, and to drop the -mpc-relative-literal-loads GCC switch, by patching affected ADRP instructions at runtime: - ADRP instructions that do not appear at 4k relative offset 0xff8 or 0xffc are ignored - ADRP instructions that are within 1 MB of their target symbol are converted into ADR instructions - remaining ADRP instructions are redirected via a veneer that performs the load using an unaffected movn/movk sequence.

	This module tests the module loader's ELF relocation processing routines. When loaded, it logs output like below.
