Subject: [PATCH v7 19/22] x86/boot: Create a confined code area for startup code
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2025 12:22:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250828102202.1849035-43-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250828102202.1849035-24-ardb+git@google.com>

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

In order to be able to have tight control over which code may execute
from the early 1:1 mapping of memory, but still link vmlinux as a single
executable, prefix all symbol references in startup code with __pi_, and
invoke it from outside using the __pi_ prefix.

Use objtool to check that no absolute symbol references are present in
the startup code, as these cannot be used from code running from the 1:1
mapping.

Note that this also requires disabling the latent-entropy GCC plugin, as
the global symbol references that it injects would require explicit
exports, and given that the startup code rarely executes more than once,
it is not a useful source of entropy anyway.
