I came across the same issue today (2/2/2017), i.e. "unsupported RELA
relocation: 275", while using "Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux
4.4.0-59-generic aarch64)". I read above messages and have verified
that arch/arm64/Makefile does have -mpc-relative-literal-loads as shown
below. The kernel config file also has CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419=y.
However, module.c shows "#ifndef CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419".
Shouldn't this be #ifdef instead? Could it be that I'm seeing the error
message since #ifndef compiled out "case R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21"
(275)?
ifeq ($(CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419), y)
KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE += -mcmodel=large
KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE += $(call cc-option, -mpc-relative-literal-loads)
endif

Bug description:
linux-image-4.3.0-5-generic 4.3.0-5.16 arm64 fails to load modules
(and therefore boot). It emits messages like the following for each
attempted module load:
[ 2.156817] module libahci: unsupported RELA relocation: 275
This is reminiscent of LP: #1502946 - except that fix appears to still
be in-tact. What has changed, however, is the build environment. If I
rebuild the same kernel source in a wily chroot, it boots fine.
Marking "Confirmed" because Paulo Pisatti reported this to me, and I
reproduced.
