I actually looked at it a while too...
The
movq stack_start - __START_KERNEL_map, %rsp
turns into (objdump disassembly)
mov 0x0,%rsp
with relocation
0000000000000004 R_X86_64_32S stack_start+0x0000000080000000
Now stack_start is at ffffffff81ef3380, so the relocation gives 1ef3380 which would be correct, so why the
second subq ?
You may explain :)
