-Zdirect-access-external-data is a new Rust compiler option added in Rust 1.78, which we use to optimize the access of external data in the Linux kernel's Rust code. This patch modifies the Rust code in vmlinux to directly access externa data, using PC-REL instead of GOT. However, Rust code whithin modules is constrained by the PC-REL addressing range and is explicitly set to use an indirect method.

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 reStructuredText 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.
