If addr_global is rejected or not implemented (for example, building the kernel with GCC 12), *I expect* the following hack to work (I've not tested it because I'm AFK now). Using visibility in kernel seems strange, but I think it may make some sense because the modules are some sort of similar to an ELF shared object being dlopen()'ed, and our way to inject per-CPU symbols is analog to ELF interposition.
arch/loongarch/include/asm/percpu.h:
#if !__has_attribute(__addr_global__) && defined(MODULE) /* Magically remove "static" for per-CPU variables. */ # define ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU /* Force GOT-relocation for per-CPU variables. */ # define PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES __attribute__((__visibility__("default"))) #endif arch/loongarch/Makefile:
# Hack for per-CPU variables, see PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES in # include/asm/percpu.h if (call gcc-does-not-support-addr-global) KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE += -fPIC -fvisibility=hidden endif
