Subject: [PATCH v7 4/9] x86/startup_64: Simplify virtual switch on primary boot

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@...nel.org>

The secondary startup code is used on the primary boot path as well, but
in this case, the initial part runs from a 1:1 mapping, until an
explicit cross-jump is made to the kernel virtual mapping of the same
code.

On the secondary boot path, this jump is pointless as the code already
executes from the mapping targeted by the jump. So combine this
cross-jump with the jump from startup_64() into the common boot path.
This simplifies the execution flow, and clearly separates code that runs
from a 1:1 mapping from code that runs from the kernel virtual mapping.

Note that this requires a page table switch, so hoist the CR3 assignment
into startup_64() as well. And since absolute symbol references will no
longer be permitted in .head.text once we enable the associated build
time checks, a RIP-relative memory operand is used in the JMP
instruction, referring to an absolute constant in the .init.rodata
section.

Given that the secondary startup code does not require a special
placement inside the executable, move it to the .text section.
