The compressed kernel is built with -fPIC/-fPIE so that it can run in any location a bootloader happens to put it. However, since ELF relocation processing is not happening (and all the relocation information has already been stripped at link time), none of the code can use data relocations (e.g. static assignments of pointers). This is already noted in a warning comment at the top of misc.c, but this adds an explicit check for the condition during the linking stage to block any such bugs from appearing.
If this was in place with the earlier bug in pagetable.c, the build would fail like this:
... CC arch/x86/boot/compressed/pagetable.o DATAREL arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux error: arch/x86/boot/compressed/pagetable.o has data relocations! make[2]: *** [arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 1 ...
A clean build shows:
... CC arch/x86/boot/compressed/pagetable.o DATAREL arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux LD arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux ...
