Accessing per-CPU variables is done by finding the offset of the variable in the per-CPU block and adding it to the address of the respective CPU's block. Section 3.10.8 of ld.bfd's documentation states: For expressions involving numbers, relative addresses and absolute addresses, ld follows these rules to evaluate terms: Other binary operations, that is, between two relative addresses not in the same section, or between a relative address and an absolute address, first convert any non-absolute term to an absolute address before applying the operator." Note that LLVM's linker does not adhere to the GNU ld's implementation and as such requires implicitly-absolute terms to be explicitly marked as absolute in the linker script. If not, it fails currently with: ld.lld: error: ./arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:153: at least one side of the expression must be absolute ld.lld: error: ./arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:154: at least one side of the expression must be absolute Makefile:1040: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed This is not a functional change for ld.bfd which converts the term to an absolute symbol anyways as specified above.

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.
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.
