[PATCH v4 09/16] x86/percpu/64: Use relative percpu offsets

From: Brian Gerst
Date: Fri Mar 22 2024 - 12:54:48 EST


The percpu section is currently linked at virtual address 0, because
older compilers hardcoded the stack protector canary value at a fixed
offset from the start of the GS segment. Now that the canary is a
normal percpu variable, the percpu section does not need to be linked
at a specific virtual address. This means that x86-64 will calculate
percpu offsets like most other architectures, as the delta between the
initial percpu address and the dynamically allocated memory.
