[PATCH v2 7/7] arm64: add a workaround for GNU gold with ARM64_MODULE_PLTS

From: samitolvanen@google.com (Sami Tolvanen)
Date: 2017-11-30 23:39:38
Also in: linux-kbuild, lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

All current versions of GNU gold crash when linking kernel modules
with ARM64_MODULE_PLTS due to a known bug:

  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14592

To work around the problem, this change removes NOLOAD from .plt
and .init.plt.
