Minor changes based on feedback and rebase from v8.
Splitting the previous serie in two. This part contains assembly code
changes required for PIE but without any direct dependencies with the
rest of the patchset.
Changes:
- patch v9 (assembly):
- Moved to relative reference for sync_core based on feedback.
- x86/crypto had multiple algorithms deleted, removed PIE changes to them.
- fix typo on comment end line.
- patch v8 (assembly):
- Fix issues in crypto changes (thanks to Eric Biggers).
- Remove unnecessary jump table change.
- Change author and signoff to chromium email address.
- patch v7 (assembly):
- Split patchset and reorder changes.
- patch v6:
- Rebase on latest changes in jump tables and crypto.
- Fix wording on couple commits.
- Revisit checkpatch warnings.
- Moving to @chromium.org.
- patch v5:
- Adapt new crypto modules for PIE.
- Improve per-cpu commit message.
- Fix xen 32-bit build error with .quad.
- Remove extra code for ftrace.
- patch v4:
- Simplify early boot by removing global variables.
- Modify the mcount location script for __mcount_loc intead of the address
read in the ftrace implementation.
- Edit commit description to explain better where the kernel can be located.
- Streamlined the testing done on each patch proposal. Always testing
hibernation, suspend, ftrace and kprobe to ensure no regressions.
- patch v3:
- Update on message to describe longer term PIE goal.
- Minor change on ftrace if condition.
- Changed code using xchgq.
- patch v2:
- Adapt patch to work post KPTI and compiler changes
- Redo all performance testing with latest configs and compilers
- Simplify mov macro on PIE (MOVABS now)
- Reduce GOT footprint
- patch v1:
- Simplify ftrace implementation.
- Use gcc mstack-protector-guard-reg=%gs with PIE when possible.
- rfc v3:
- Use --emit-relocs instead of -pie to reduce dynamic relocation space on
mapped memory. It also simplifies the relocation process.
- Move the start the module section next to the kernel. Remove the need for
-mcmodel=large on modules. Extends module space from 1 to 2G maximum.
- Support for XEN PVH as 32-bit relocations can be ignored with
--emit-relocs.
- Support for GOT relocations previously done automatically with -pie.
- Remove need for dynamic PLT in modules.
- Support dymamic GOT for modules.
- rfc v2:
- Add support for global stack cookie while compiler default to fs without
mcmodel=kernel
- Change patch 7 to correctly jump out of the identity mapping on kexec load
preserve.
These patches make some of the changes necessary to build the kernel as
Position Independent Executable (PIE) on x86_64. Another patchset will
add the PIE option and larger architecture changes.
The patches:
- 1, 3-11: Change in assembly code to be PIE compliant.
- 2: Add a new _ASM_MOVABS macro to fetch a symbol address generically.
