Subject: [PATCH] um: Fix compile failure due to current_text_address() definition

Fixes the following link error:
```
/usr/bin/ld: net/built-in.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.text'
can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
```

This is the same definition used on some other architectures.

I am not sure this is the correct patch in the context of uml. I believe this
should give the runtime ip, which may be different between runs. It may be
better to use the offset in .text (e.g. by using `pc-__text_start`), which
should be consistent.

The problem is ready being solved in a generic way:

Can you please give this patch a try?

No dice. After backing out my patch and applying that one I get:

/usr/bin/ld: error: net/built-in.o: requires unsupported dynamic reloc
11; recompile with -fPIC

I don't have a gcc broken by Debian on my machine right now.

I'm not sure how to reply to his patch series directly since I'm not
subscribed to lkml
(I imagine I can set headers manually, such that things get
appropriately threaded,
but for now let me just reply here). I don't think there's much to it.
It seems like any
use of `current_text_addr()` in `ARCH=um` build will cause this
problem, there's just
not very many such uses in the code base. I believe this particular
problem should
be reproducible as long as CONFIG_INET is set for an `ARCH=um` build.

How and where do you trigger this?
I had a chat with Sebastian and we are not 100% sure what is going on.
On my freshly installed Debian sid with gcc version 6.2.0 20161109 (Debian 6.2.0-13)
UML builds fine except when I set CONFIG_STATIC_LINK=y

But then I'm facing a slightly different error:
CC init/version.o
LD init/built-in.o
/usr/bin/ld: init/built-in.o: relocation R_X86_64_PLTOFF64 against STT_GNU_IFUNC symbol `memmove' isn't supported
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Your patch also does not cure this. I'll investigate later into that.

Did you have CONFIG_INET set? I'm attaching my full .config. This is
on vanilla Ubuntu 16.10.
I did see the same error when building with `CONFIG_STATIC_LINK=y`.
Note that I also, separately, ran into a linker problem, though I
believe it is unrelated to this patch
(though perhaps is related to the problem you're seeing?):
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20800.

I'd also be happy to provide you with ssh access to the machine that
I'm seeing this on if that
would be helpful.

Yes, CONFIG_INET is set. Let my try on Ubuntu. ;-\

This seems to be an UML<->glibc issue.
memmove() is now an ifunc and for whatever reason it does not work with UML.

Okay, let me try myself first. I think I'm able to install Ubuntu. :)

Just as an FYI, the linker bug has been fixed in binutils.

Interesting. Is the same bug also the root cause why a static build
of UML does not work?
