[PATCH v3 04/26] x86/kexec: Use RIP relative addressing

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Tue Mar 24 2020 - 12:13:05 EST


Normally identity_mapped is not visible to objtool, due to:

arch/x86/kernel/Makefile:OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD_relocate_kernel_$(BITS).o := y

However, when we want to run objtool on vmlinux.o there is no hiding
it:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x4c0f1: unsupported intra-function call

Replace the (i386 inspired) pattern:

call 1f
1: popq %r8
subq $(1b - relocate_kernel), %r8

With a x86_64 RIP-relative LEA:

leaq relocate_kernel(%rip), %r8
