[Christophe Lyon <christophe.lyon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've cross compiled the kernel+modules, mostly following the steps in
comment #18.

Then, I've scanned the generated module for the AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21
relocation.

When compiled with Linaro-2015.12, this relocation is present.
When compiled with Linaro-2015.10, it is not.
When using Linaro-2015.11, the build fails with errors such as:
Assembler messages:
Error: selected processor does not support `aese v0.16b,v1.16b'

Assuming that these relocations are the real cause of the problem, I'm
going to bisect to identify which commit in our branch introduced them.

Title:
  arm64: "unsupported RELA relocation"

Status in Linaro GCC:
  Unknown
Status in Linux:
  Unknown
Status in gcc-5 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  linux-image-4.3.0-5-generic 4.3.0-5.16 arm64 fails to load modules
  (and therefore boot). It emits messages like the following for each
  attempted module load:

  [    2.156817] module libahci: unsupported RELA relocation: 275

  This is reminiscent of LP: #1502946 - except that fix appears to still
  be in-tact. What has changed, however, is the build environment. If I
  rebuild the same kernel source in a wily chroot, it boots fine.

  Marking "Confirmed" because Paulo Pisatti reported this to me, and I
  reproduced.
