Kirill A. Shutemov 94968c37b6 x86/boot/64: Add missing fixup_pointer() for next_early_pgt access
[ Upstream commit c1887159eb ]

__startup_64() uses fixup_pointer() to access global variables in a
position-independent fashion. Access to next_early_pgt was wrapped into the
helper, but one instance in the 5-level paging branch was missed.

GCC generates a R_X86_64_PC32 PC-relative relocation for the access which
doesn't trigger the issue, but Clang emmits a R_X86_64_32S which leads to
an invalid memory access and system reboot.

Fixes: 187e91fe5e ("x86/boot/64/clang: Use fixup_pointer() to access 'next_early_pgt'")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
