[PATCH v10 08/11] x86/boot/64: Adapt assembly for PIE support

From: Thomas Garnier
Date: Wed Dec 04 2019 - 19:10:31 EST


Change the assembly code to use absolute reference for transition
between address spaces and relative references when referencing global
variables in the same address space. Ensure the kernel built with PIE
references the correct addresses based on context.

Position Independent Executable (PIE) support will allow to extend the
KASLR randomization range below 0xffffffff80000000.
