[PATCH v2 4/8] x86: add support for 64-bit place relative relocations

From: Ard Biesheuvel <hidden>
Date: 2018-07-02 18:12:10
Also in: linux-arch, linux-s390, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Add support for R_X86_64_PC64 relocations, which operate on 64-bit
quantities holding a relative symbol reference. This allows jump
table entries to be emitted in a way that makes them invariant under
runtime relocation, which means that no metadata needs to be emitted
into the kernel image to describe such data structures, resulting in
a size reduction.
