[PATCH 0/6] riscv: Relocatable NOMMU kernels

Currently, RISC-V NOMMU kernels are linked at CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, and
since they are not relocatable, must be loaded at this address as well.
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET is not a user-visible Kconfig option, so its value is
not obvious, and users must patch the kernel source if they want to load
it at a different address.

Make NOMMU kernels more portable by making them relocatable by default.
This allows a single kernel binary to work when loaded at any address.


Samuel Holland (6):
  riscv: Remove duplicate CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET definition
  riscv: Allow NOMMU kernels to access all of RAM
  riscv: Support CONFIG_RELOCATABLE on NOMMU
  asm-generic: Always define Elf_Rel and Elf_Rela
  riscv: Support CONFIG_RELOCATABLE on riscv32
  riscv: Remove CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET
