Hi Ard,

I'm likely missing/confusing terminology below, so apologies in advance for
that!

Ah, sorry; I hadn't spotted that.

I'm a bit confused as to why veneers for other sections would be dropped in
here. Note that these branches (for-next/core and for-kernelci) have your patch
moving IDMAP_TEXT into .rodata, so that's no longer the last input section with
the EXEC attribute, unless I've misunderstood?

Perhaps that's meant to be read as the last input section *within a given
output section* ?

If marking the .idmap.text section as non-executable prevents other veneers
from being collected there, then I reckon that doing that along with the
indirect branches using adr_l + blr should be sufficient? That way there should
be no veneers dropped into .idmap.text, and the cost of ADRP+ADD+BLR in a
one-time boot path isn't going to be noticeable.

FWIW, If I modify head.S to replace:

  .section ".idmap.text","a"

With:

  .section ".idmap.text","a"

Then the only branches which don't get PLTs are the ones I mentioned earlier,
and the linker complains about those becoming truncated:

Is there any reason we need the "wx" attributs for .idmap.text?

With that in mind, does the below look ok? It builds cleanly and boots fine for
me with GCC 12.1.0 atop for-next/core.

We could wrap the adr_l + blr into a blr_l macro for legibility.

Thanks,
Mark.
