[PATCH v4 1/2] ARM: PIE infrastructure

Alexandre Belloni alexandre.belloni at free-electrons.com
Mon Nov 7 14:24:57 PST 2016


Add support for embedding position independent executables (PIE) in the
kernel. Those PIEs can then be loaded into memory allocated using genalloc.
For example, this allows running code from SRAM which is usually needed for
suspend/resume or to change the DDR timings. That code is usually written
in assembly and can now be developed in C.
