From bcceba3c72c0cf06dfbae77f5aec70fb6187e8df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2025 15:41:19 +0200 Subject: x86/asm: Make rip_rel_ptr() usable from fPIC code RIP_REL_REF() is used in non-PIC C code that is called very early, before the kernel virtual mapping is up, which is the mapping that the linker expects. It is currently used in two different ways: - to refer to the value of a global variable, including as an lvalue in assignments; - to take the address of a global variable via the mapping that the code currently executes at. The former case is only needed in non-PIC code, as PIC code will never use absolute symbol references when the address of the symbol is not being used. But taking the address of a variable in PIC code may still require extra care, as a stack allocated struct assignment may be emitted as a memcpy() from a statically allocated copy in .rodata. For instance, this void startup_64_setup_gdt_idt(void) { struct desc_ptr startup_gdt_descr = { .address = (__force unsigned long)gdt_page.gdt, .size = GDT_SIZE - 1, }; may result in an absolute symbol reference in PIC code, even though the struct is allocated on the stack and populated at runtime. To address this case, make rip_rel_ptr() accessible in PIC code, and update any existing uses where the address of a global variable is taken using RIP_REL_REF. Once all code of this nature has been moved into arch/x86/boot/startup and built with -fPIC, RIP_REL_REF() can be retired, and only rip_rel_ptr() will remain.
