2020-05-20	s390/kaslr: add support for R_390_JMP_SLOT relocation type	Gerald Schaefer	1	-0/+1
	With certain kernel configurations, the R_390_JMP_SLOT relocation type might be generated, which is not expected by the KASLR relocation code, and the kernel stops with the message "Unknown relocation type". This was found with a zfcpdump kernel config, where CONFIG_MODULES=n and CONFIG_VFIO=n. In that case, symbol_get() is used on undefined __weak symbols in virt/kvm/vfio.c, which results in the generation of R_390_JMP_SLOT relocation types. Fix this by handling R_390_JMP_SLOT similar to R_390_GLOB_DAT.

2019-10-22	s390/kaslr: add support for R_390_GLOB_DAT relocation type	Gerald Schaefer	1	-0/+1
	Commit "bpf: Process in-kernel BTF" in linux-next introduced an undefined __weak symbol, which results in an R_390_GLOB_DAT relocation type. That is not yet handled by the KASLR relocation code, and the kernel stops with the message "Unknown relocation type". Add code to detect and handle R_390_GLOB_DAT relocation types and undefined symbols.

2019-07-29	s390/kexec: add missing include to machine_kexec_reloc.c	Vasily Gorbik	1	-0/+1
	Include <asm/kexec.h> into machine_kexec_reloc.c to expose arch_kexec_do_relocs declaration and avoid the following sparse warnings: arch/s390/kernel/machine_kexec_reloc.c:4:5: warning: symbol 'arch_kexec_do_relocs' was not declared. Should it be static? arch/s390/boot/../kernel/machine_kexec_reloc.c:4:5: warning: symbol 'arch_kexec_do_relocs' was not declared. Should it be static? Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com>
2019-04-29	s390/kernel: build a relocatable kernel	Gerald Schaefer	1	-0/+53
	This patch adds support for building a relocatable kernel with -fPIE. The kernel will be relocated to 0 early in the boot process. Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Philipp Rudo <prudo@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
