__startup_64() uses fixup_pointer() to access global variables in a
position-independent fashion. Access to next_early_pgt was wrapped into the
helper, but one instance in the 5-level paging branch was missed.
GCC generates a R_X86_64_PC32 PC-relative relocation for the access which
doesn't trigger the issue, but Clang emmits a R_X86_64_32S which leads to
an invalid memory access and system reboot.

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.
