[ Upstream commit bb58e1579f431d42469b6aed0f03eff383ba6db5 ]
We're trying to mix non-PIC/PIE objects into the otherwise-PIE relocatable kernels, to avoid GOT/PLT references during early boot alternative resolution (which happens before the GOT/PLT are set up).
riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: arch/riscv/errata/sifive/errata.o: relocation R_RISCV_HI20 against `tlb_flush_all_threshold' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: arch/riscv/errata/thead/errata.o: relocation R_RISCV_HI20 against `riscv_cbom_block_size' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
