[PATCH v2 1/6] LoongArch: Simplified randomization layout after jump new kernel processing

From: Qing Zhang
Date: Tue Apr 04 2023 - 04:42:14 EST


Modified relocate_kernel is not returned directly new kernel's entry point,
instead, we share start_kernel processing with the normal kernel, which avoids
calling 'jr a0' directly and we can do other operations(eg: kasan_early_init)
before start_kernel when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is turned on.
