[PATCH 0/5] LoongArch: Support new relocation types

From: Xi Ruoyao
Date: Wed Jul 27 2022 - 12:30:02 EST


The version 2.00 of LoongArch ELF ABI specification introduced new
relocation types, and the development tree of Binutils and GCC has
started to use them. If the kernel is built with the latest snapshot of
Binutils or GCC, it will fail to load the modules because of unrecognized
relocation types in modules.

Add support for GOT and new relocation types for the module loader, so
the kernel (with modules) can be built with the "normal" code model and
function properly.

Tested by building the kernel with Binutils & GCC master branch, and
running the kernel with 35 in-tree modules loaded.
