The commit 71ec7c55ed91 introduced the magic symbol ".TOC." for ELFv2 ABI. This symbol is built manually and has no CRC value computed. A zero value is put in the CRC section to avoid modpost complaining about a missing CRC. Unfortunately, this breaks the kernel module loading when the kernel is relocated (kdump case for instance) because of the relocation applied to the kcrctab values. This patch compute a CRC value for the TOC symbol which will match the one compute by the kernel when it is relocated - aka '0 - relocate_start' done in maybe_relocated called by check_version (module.c). Changes in V2: - fix only when relocation is applied to kcrctab.
