[PATCH v3 6/7] x86/boot: Remove runtime relocations from head_{32,64}.S

[Arvind Sankar]

The BFD linker generates runtime relocations for z_input_len and
z_output_len, even though they are absolute symbols.

This is fixed for binutils-2.35 [1]. Work around this for earlier
versions by defining two variables input_len and output_len in addition
to the symbols, and use them via position-independent references.

This eliminates the last two runtime relocations in the head code and
allows us to drop the -z noreloc-overflow flag to the linker.
