Sergey, I was wrong with this assumption.

Your implementation of dereference_module_function_descriptor() in
arch/parisc/kernel/module.c is faulty.
mod->arch.fdesc_offset is relative to the base address of the module,
so you need to add to mod->core_layout.base.

Here is the relevant patch to fix this issue (against mainline).
Additionally I compare against mod->arch.fdesc_count instead of
mod->arch.fdesc_max.
Can you please fold it into your patch
[PATCH 4/5] parisc64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference
for the next round?

Thanks,
Helge
