      arm64: add support for module PLTs · fd045f6c
      Ard Biesheuvel 提交于
      This adds support for emitting PLTs at module load time for relative
      branches that are out of range. This is a prerequisite for KASLR, which
      may place the kernel and the modules anywhere in the vmalloc area,
      making it more likely that branch target offsets exceed the maximum
      range of +/- 128 MB.
      
      In this version, I removed the distinction between relocations against
      .init executable sections and ordinary executable sections. The reason
      is that it is hardly worth the trouble, given that .init.text usually
      does not contain that many far branches, and this version now only
      reserves PLT entry space for jump and call relocations against undefined
      symbols (since symbols defined in the same module can be assumed to be
      within +/- 128 MB)
      
      For example, the mac80211.ko module (which is fairly sizable at ~400 KB)
      built with -mcmodel=large gives the following relocation counts:
      
                          relocs    branches   unique     !local
        .text              3925       3347       518        219
        .init.text           11          8         7          1
        .exit.text            4          4         4          1
        .text.unlikely       81         67        36         17
      
      ('unique' means branches to unique type/symbol/addend combos, of which
      !local is the subset referring to undefined symbols)
      
      IOW, we are only emitting a single PLT entry for the .init sections, and
      we are better off just adding it to the core PLT section instead.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
