Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull more relocation fixes from Peter Anvin: "These are additional symbols that have been found to either be absolute or look like they might end up being absolute on one version of GNU ld or another. Unfortunately we have since that a different GNU ld version, 2.21, can generate bogus absolute symbols; again, this would have caused a malfunctioning kernel on x86-32 if relocated. The relocs.c changes changed silent corruption to a build time error. It is worth noting that if the various barrier symbols we use were more consistent in the namespace used this probably could be reduced to a single regexp; if nothing else it looks like there is migration toward a common __(start|stop)___.* namespace." * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, relocs: Add jiffies and jiffies_64 to the relative whitelist x86-32, relocs: Whitelist more symbols for ld bug workaround
