Subject[PATCH 6/8] LoongArch: Use model("extreme") attribute for per-CPU variables in module if CONFIG_CC_HAS_EXPLICIT_RELOCS
Date
On LoongArch, The "address" of a per-CPU variable symbol is actually an
offset from $r21. The value is nearing the loading address of main
kernel image, but far from the address of modules. We need to tell the
compiler that a PC-relative addressing with 32-bit offset is not
sufficient for local per-CPU variables.

After some discussion with GCC maintainers, we implemented this
attribute to indicate that a PC-relative addressing with 64-bit offset
should be used.

This attribute should be available in GCC 13 release. Some early GCC 13
snapshots may support -mexplicit-relocs but lack this attribute, we
simply reject them.
