[PATCH v7 1/3] riscv: Introduce CONFIG_RELOCATABLE

Sat Oct 9 10:12:57 PDT 2021
From: Alexandre Ghiti <alex at ghiti.fr>
This config allows to compile 64b kernel as PIE and to relocate it at
any virtual address at runtime: this paves the way to KASLR.
Runtime relocation is possible since relocation metadata are embedded into
the kernel.
Note that relocating at runtime introduces an overhead even if the
kernel is loaded at the same address it was linked at and that the compiler
options are those used in arm64 which uses the same RELA relocation
format.

+ This builds a kernel as a Position Independent Executable (PIE),
+ which retains all relocation metadata required to relocate the
+ kernel binary at runtime to a different virtual address than the
+ address it was linked at.
+ Since RISCV uses the RELA relocation format, this requires a
+ relocation pass at runtime even if the kernel is loaded at the
+ same address it was linked at.
