x86/build: Mark per-CPU symbols as absolute explicitly for LLD
Accessing per-CPU variables is done by finding the offset of the
variable in the per-CPU block and adding it to the address of the
respective CPU's block.
Section 3.10.8 of ld.bfd's documentation states:
For expressions involving numbers, relative addresses and absolute
addresses, ld follows these rules to evaluate terms:
Other binary operations, that is, between two relative addresses
not in the same section, or between a relative address and an
absolute address, first convert any non-absolute term to an
absolute address before applying the operator."
Note that LLVM's linker does not adhere to the GNU ld's implementation
and as such requires implicitly-absolute terms to be explicitly marked
as absolute in the linker script. If not, it fails currently with:
ld.lld: error: ./arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:153: at least one side of the expression must be absolute
ld.lld: error: ./arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:154: at least one side of the expression must be absolute
Makefile:1040: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed
This is not a functional change for ld.bfd which converts the term to an
absolute symbol anyways as specified above.
Based on a previous submission by Tri Vo <trong@android.com>.
