I tried to build kernel 4.14-rc1 on a arm64 server in distro centos 7.3.
The gcc version is 4.8.5
It was built successfully but failed to boot with the call trace below:

seems the compiler doesn't work correctly, should it be some thing like
add x2, x2, x25 ??
instead of
add x2, x2, x2
Besides, I git bisect and find this *kernel* patch cause the compiler bug:
commit c350c008297643dad3c395c2fd92230142da5cf6
srcu: Prevent sdp->srcu_gp_seq_needed counter wrap
In this bug, srcu uses a percpu ptr which will call RELOC_HIDE. After I
remove
the RELOC_HIDE code, this bug disappearred.
This bug is not in latest gcc version
