commit 8fd4ddda2f49a66bf5dd3d0c01966c4b1971308b upstream.
System.map shows that vmlinux contains several instances of
__static_call_return0():
c0004fc0 t __static_call_return0
c0011518 t __static_call_return0
c00d8160 t __static_call_return0
arch_static_call_transform() uses the middle one to check whether we are
setting a call to __static_call_return0 or not:
c0011520 <arch_static_call_transform>:
c0011520: 3d 20 c0 01 lis r9,-16383 <== r9 = 0xc001 << 16
c0011524: 39 29 15 18 addi r9,r9,5400 <== r9 += 0x1518
c0011528: 7c 05 48 00 cmpw r5,r9 <== r9 has value 0xc0011518 here
So if static_call_update() is called with one of the other instances of
__static_call_return0(), arch_static_call_transform() won't recognise it.
In order to work properly, global single instance of __static_call_return0() is required.

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.
