[RFC 02/22] x86: Use symbol name on bug table for PIE support

From: Thomas Garnier <hidden>
Date: 2017-07-18 22:33:13
Also in: kvm, linux-arch, linux-crypto, xen-devel
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Replace the %c constraint with %P. The %c is incompatible with PIE
because it implies an immediate value whereas %P reference a symbol.

Position Independent Executable (PIE) support will allow to extended the
KASLR randomization range below the -2G memory limit.
