Subject: [RFC PATCH v6.10 4/4] x86/boot/64: Avoid intentional absolute symbol
 references in .head.text

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

The code in .head.text executes from a 1:1 mapping and cannot generally
refer to global variables using their kernel virtual addresses. However,
there are some occurrences of such references that are valid: the kernel
virtual addresses of _text and _end are needed to populate the page
tables correctly, and some other section markers are used in a similar
way.

To avoid the need for making exceptions to the rule that .head.text must
not contain any absolute symbol references, derive these addresses from
the RIP-relative 1:1 mapped physical addresses, which can be safely
determined using RIP_REL_REF().
