+ depends on MODULES
+ default y
+ help
+ This option builds kernel modules using the large memory model in
+ order to avoid the use of the ADRP instruction, which can cause
+ a subsequent memory access to use an incorrect address on Cortex-A53
+ parts up to r0p4.
+
+ Note that the kernel itself must be linked with a version of ld
+ which fixes potentially affected ADRP instructions through the
+ use of veneers.
