Subject: [RFC PATCH 6/9] kexec: Add support for fully linked purgatory executables
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@...nel.org>
The purgatory ELF object is typically a partially linked object, which
puts the burden on the kexec loader to lay out the executable in memory,
and this involves (among other things) deciding the placement of the
sections in memory, and fixing up all relocations (relative and absolute
ones)
All of this can be greatly simplified by using a fully linked PIE ELF
executable instead, constructed in a way that removes the need for any
relocation processing or layout and allocation of individual sections.
By gathering all allocatable sections into a single PT_LOAD segment, and
relying on RIP-relative references, all relocations will be applied by
the linker, and the segment simply needs to be copied into memory.
So add a linker script and some minimal handling in generic code, which
can be used by architectures to opt into this approach. This will be
wired up for x86 in a subsequent patch.
