Hello Dave,

Thanks for your review.

I can try, but there is one fundamental issue here: powerpc position-dependent 
code relies more on relocations than x86 position-dependent code does, so 
there's a limit to how simple it can be made without switching to position-
independent code. And it will always be more involved than it is on x86.

BTW, building x86's purgatory as PIE results in it not having any relocation 
at all, so it's an advantage even in that architecture. Unfortunately, the 
machine locks up during reboot and I didn't have time to try to figure out 
what's going on.

I agree that is a good idea. Is the patch below what you had in mind?

> and then we probably do not need this PIE stuff anymore.

If you are ok with the patch below I can post a new version of the series 
based on it and we can see if Michael Ellerman thinks it is enough.

Really? I find the special handling of bss makes the section-based loader a 
bit more confusing.

Subject: [PATCH] kexec_file: Move generic relocation code from arch/x86 to
 kernel/kexec_file.c

The check for undefined symbols stays in arch-specific code because
powerpc needs to allow TOC symbols to be processed even though they're
undefined.

There is no functional change.
