[RFC PATCH 13/28] x86/kvm: Use RIP-relative addressing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Avoid absolute references in code, which require fixing up at boot time,
and replace them with RIP-relative ones. In this particular case, due to
the register pressure, they cannot be avoided entirely, so one absolute
reference is retained but the resulting reference via the GOT is
compatible with running the linker in PIE mode.
