commit ab5eb336411f18fd449a1fb37d36a55ec422603f upstream. coprocessor_flush is not a part of fast exception handlers, but it uses parts of fast coprocessor handling code that's why it's in the same source file. It uses call0 opcode to invoke those parts so there are no limitations on their relative location, but the rest of the code calls coprocessor_flush with call8 and that doesn't work when vectors are placed in a different gigabyte-aligned area than the rest of the kernel. Move coprocessor_flush from the .exception.text section to the .text so that it's reachable from the rest of the kernel with call8.

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.
