Contrary to alternatives, relocations are currently not supported in
call thunk templates. Re-use the existing infrastructure from
alternative.c to allow %rip-relative relocations when copying call
thunk template from its storage location.
The patch allows unification of ASM_INCREMENT_CALL_DEPTH, which already
uses PER_CPU_VAR macro, with INCREMENT_CALL_DEPTH, used in call thunk
template, which is currently limited to use absolute address.

Uh, GCC didn't warn at all (and there is some mixup with types here,
so a thinko slipped through.
The attached patch fixes the oversight. I'll post a formal patch later
today after some more testing.
Thanks,

Can't do that for a CONFIG_MODULES=n build:

x86/callthunks: Handle %rip-relative relocations in call thunk template
Contrary to alternatives, relocations are currently not supported in
call thunk templates. Re-use the existing infrastructure from
alternative.c to allow %rip-relative relocations when copying call
thunk template from its storage location.
The patch allows unification of ASM_INCREMENT_CALL_DEPTH, which already
uses PER_CPU_VAR macro, with INCREMENT_CALL_DEPTH, used in call thunk
template, which is currently limited to use absolute address.
Reuse existing relocation infrastructure from alternative.c.,
as suggested by Peter Zijlstra.
