[PATCH 16/30] ARM: kernel: use relative phys-to-virt patch tables

Ard Biesheuvel ard.biesheuvel at linaro.org
Mon Aug 14 05:53:57 PDT 2017


Replace the contents of the __pv_table entries with relative references
so that we don't have to relocate them at runtime when running the KASLR
kernel. This ensures these quantities are invariant under runtime
relocation, which makes any cache maintenance after runtime relocation
unnecessary.
