Change the assembly code to use only relative references of symbols for the kernel to be PIE compatible. Early at boot, the kernel is mapped at a temporary address while preparing the page table. To know the changes needed for the page table with KASLR, the boot code calculate the difference between the expected address of the kernel and the one chosen by KASLR. It does not work with PIE because all symbols in code are relatives. Instead of getting the future relocated virtual address, you will get the current temporary mapping. The solution is using global variables that will be relocated as expected. Position Independent Executable (PIE) support will allow to extended the KASLR randomization range below the -2G memory limit.
