4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 60b0a8c3d2480f3b57282b47b7cae7ee71c48635 upstream.
Commit 7c30f352c852 ("jiffies.h: declare jiffies and jiffies_64 with
____cacheline_aligned_in_smp") removed a section specification from the
jiffies declaration that caused conflicts on some platforms.
Unfortunately this change broke the build for frv:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `__do_softirq': (.text+0x6460): relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol
`jiffies' defined in *ABS* section in .tmp_vmlinux1
kernel/built-in.o: In function `__do_softirq': (.text+0x6574): relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol
`jiffies' defined in *ABS* section in .tmp_vmlinux1
kernel/built-in.o: In function `pwq_activate_delayed_work': workqueue.c:(.text+0x15b9c): relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against
symbol `jiffies' defined in *ABS* section in .tmp_vmlinux1
...
Add __jiffy_arch_data to the declaration of jiffies and use it on frv to
include the section specification. For all other platforms
__jiffy_arch_data (currently) has no effect.
