[PATCH] LoongArch: rust: Use rustc option -Zdirect-access-external-data

From: WANG Rui
Date: Wed Jul 03 2024 - 07:17:31 EST


-Zdirect-access-external-data is a new Rust compiler option added
in Rust 1.78, which we use to optimize the access of external data
in the Linux kernel's Rust code. This patch modifies the Rust code
in vmlinux to directly access externa data, using PC-REL instead of
GOT. However, Rust code whithin modules is constrained by the PC-REL
addressing range and is explicitly set to use an indirect method.
