The compressed kernel is built with -fPIC/-fPIE so that it can run in any
location a bootloader happens to put it. However, since ELF relocation
processing is not happening (and all the relocation information has
already been stripped at link time), none of the code can use data
relocations (e.g. static assignments of pointers). This is already noted
in a warning comment at the top of misc.c, but this adds an explicit
check for the condition during the linking stage to block any such bugs
from appearing.
If this was in place with the earlier bug in pagetable.c, the build
would fail like this:
...
CC arch/x86/boot/compressed/pagetable.o
DATAREL arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux
error: arch/x86/boot/compressed/pagetable.o has data relocations!
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 1
...
A clean build shows:
...
CC arch/x86/boot/compressed/pagetable.o
DATAREL arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux
LD arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux
...
