Subject: arm64: assembler: make adr_l work in modules under KASLR
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 41c066f2c4d436c535616fe182331766c57838f0 ]
When CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL=y, the offset between loaded
modules and the core kernel may exceed 4 GB, putting symbols exported
by the core kernel out of the reach of the ordinary adrp/add instruction
pairs used to generate relative symbol references. So make the adr_l
macro emit a movz/movk sequence instead when executing in module context.
While at it, remove the pointless special case for the stack pointer.
