Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] x86/efi: avoid a relocation in efi_arch_post_exit_boot()
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 11:13:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616101336.44009-4-frediano.ziglio@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260616101336.44009-1-frediano.ziglio@citrix.com>

From: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com>

Instead of using the absolute __start_xen address, calculate it as an
offset from the current instruction pointer.  The relocation would be
problematic if the generated PE binary had .init.text as a standalone
section with just read and execute permissions."

Removing this relocation is necessary to make it safe to split .init.

No functional change intended.
