Subject: [RFC/RFT PATCH 13/19] x86/entry_64: Use RIP-relative addressing
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 09:25:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108092526.28586-34-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108092526.28586-21-ardb@kernel.org>
Replace a couple of instances in the x86_64 entry code where the
absolute address of a symbol is taken in a manner that is not supported
when linking in PIE mode, and use RIP-relative references instead, which
don't require boot-time fixups at all.
