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.
