The per-CPU data section is handled differently than the other sections. The memory allocations requires a special __percpu pointer and then the section is copied into the view of each CPU. Therefore the SHF_ALLOC flag is removed to ensure move_module() skips it. Later, relocations are applied and apply_relocations() skips sections without SHF_ALLOC because they have not been copied. This also skips the per-CPU data section. The missing relocations result in a NULL pointer on x86-64 and very small values on x86-32. This results in a crash because it is not skipped like NULL pointer would and can't be dereferenced. Such an assignment happens during static per-CPU lock initialisation with lockdep enabled. Allow relocation processing for the per-CPU section even if SHF_ALLOC is missing.
