The percpu section is currently linked at absolute address 0, because older compilers hard-coded the stack protector canary value at a fixed offset from the start of the GS segment. Now that the canary is a normal percpu variable, the percpu section does not need to be linked at a specific address. x86-64 will now calculate the percpu offsets as the delta between the initial percpu address and the dynamically allocated memory, like other architectures. Note that GSBASE is limited to the canonical address width (48 or 57 bits, sign-extended). As long as the kernel text, modules, and the dynamically allocated percpu memory are all in the negative address space, the delta will not overflow this limit.
