[PATCH v3 0/7] x86: Refactor and consolidate startup code

[Ard Biesheuvel]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Reorganize C code that is used during early boot, either in the
decompressor/EFI stub or the kernel proper, but before the kernel
virtual mapping is up.

v3:
- keep rip_rel_ptr() around in PIC code - sadly, it is still needed in
  some cases
- remove RIP_REL_REF() uses in separate patches
- keep __head annotations for now, they will all be removed later
- disable objtool validation for library objects (i.e., pieces that are
  not linked into vmlinux)

I will follow up with a series that gets rid of .head.text altogether,
as it will no longer be needed at all once the startup code is checked
for absolute relocations.

The SEV startup code needs to be moved first, though, and this is a bit
more complicated, so I will decouple that effort from this series, also
because there is a known issue that needs to be fixed first related to
memory acceptance from the EFI stub.
