[RFC,5/5] x86: Build the core kernel with position independent codegen
Commit Message
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Pass the -fpie flag to the compiler when building objects that are
intended for the core kernel. This ensures that all implicit symbol
references are emitted using RIP-relative relocations, allowing the code
to be executed correctly even if it runs from a different virtual
address than the address it was linked/loaded/relocated to run at.
This is necessary to ensure that all C code that gets pulled in by the
early startup code runs correctly without the need for unpalatable hacks
in the code to force RIP-relative references.
