Subject[RFC PATCH 0/6] kvm: arm64: Fix up hyp relocations
Date
Hi,

KVM nVHE hyp code runs under different VA mapping than the kernel, which
meant that .hyp.text code had to use PC-relative addressing because
relocations would produce a kernel VA. Programmers had to be extremely
careful with C semantics to not break this fragile setup. See
hyp_symbol_addr comments for details.

Now that we're moving to all nVHE hyp code/data being in separate ELF
sections from the rest of the kernel, it is becoming possible to revisit
relocations during early boot, filter those used by nVHE hyp and
converting those (already relocated) kern VAs to hyp VAs.

Sending this as an RFC, mainly to get feedback but also because it's
only lightly tested. It still feels hacky but much more robust than the
existing approach. The one place where I see somebody breaking this is
the list of ELF sections owned by ELF. That list is currently evolving
but should stabilize over time.

The patches are based on kvmarm/queue (with Marc's "Host EL2 entry
improvements") and my "Opt-in always-on nVHE hypervisor" v2 series.
