From: Arvind Sankar <nivedita@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
The assembly code in head_{32,64}.S, while meant to be
position-independent, generates run-time relocations because it uses
instructions such as
leal gdt(%edx), %eax
which make the assembler and linker think that the code is using %edx as
an index into gdt, and hence gdt needs to be relocated to its run-time
address.
On 32-bit, with lld Dmitry Golovin reports that this results in a
link-time error with default options (i.e. unless -z notext is
explicitly passed):
LD arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux
ld.lld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_386_32 against local
symbol in readonly segment; recompile object files with -fPIC or pass
'-Wl,-z,notext' to allow text relocations in the output
With the BFD linker, this generates a warning during the build, if
--warn-shared-textrel is enabled, which at least Gentoo enables by
default:
LD arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux
ld: arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_32.o: warning: relocation in read-only section `.head.text'
ld: warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in object
On 64-bit, it is not possible to link the kernel as -pie with lld, and
it is only possible with a BFD linker that supports -z noreloc-overflow,
i.e. versions >2.26. This is because these instructions cannot really be
relocated: the displacement field is only 32-bits wide, and thus cannot
be relocated for a 64-bit load address. The -z noreloc-overflow option
simply overrides the linker error, and results in R_X86_64_RELATIVE
relocations that apply a 64-bit relocation to a 32-bit field anyway.
This happens to work because nothing will process these run-time
relocations.
Start fixing this by removing relocations from .head.text:
- On 32-bit, use a base register that holds the address of the GOT and
reference symbol addresses using @GOTOFF, i.e.
leal gdt@GOTOFF(%edx), %eax
- On 64-bit, most of the code can (and already does) use %rip-relative
addressing, however the .code32 bits can't, and the 64-bit code also
needs to reference symbol addresses as they will be after moving the
compressed kernel to the end of the decompression buffer.
For these cases, reference the symbols as an offset to startup_32 to
avoid creating relocations, i.e.
leal (gdt-startup_32)(%bp), %eax
This only works in .head.text as the subtraction cannot be represented
as a PC-relative relocation unless startup_32 is in the same section
as the code. Move efi32_pe_entry into .head.text so that it can use
the same method to avoid relocations.

/*
- * The 32-bit x86 assembler in binutils 2.26 will generate R_386_GOT32X
- * relocation to get the symbol address in PIC. When the compressed x86
- * kernel isn't built as PIC, the linker optimizes R_386_GOT32X
- * relocations to their fixed symbol addresses. However, when the
- * compressed x86 kernel is loaded at a different address, it leads
- * to the following load failure:
- *
- * Failed to allocate space for phdrs
- *
- * during the decompression stage.
- *
- * If the compressed x86 kernel is relocatable at run-time, it should be
- * compiled with -fPIE, instead of -fPIC, if possible and should be built as
- * Position Independent Executable (PIE) so that linker won't optimize
- * R_386_GOT32X relocation to its fixed symbol address. Older
- * linkers generate R_386_32 relocations against locally defined symbols,
- * _bss, _ebss and _end, in PIE. It isn't wrong, just less optimal than
- * R_386_RELATIVE. But the x86 kernel fails to properly handle R_386_32
- * relocations when relocating the kernel. To generate R_386_RELATIVE
- * relocations, we mark _bss, _ebss and _end as hidden:
+ * These symbols needed to be marked as .hidden to prevent the BFD linker from
+ * generating R_386_32 (rather than R_386_RELATIVE) relocations for them when
+ * the 32-bit compressed kernel is linked as PIE. This is no longer necessary,
+ * but it doesn't hurt to keep them .hidden.
