2021-01-23	KVM: arm64: Generate hyp relocation data	David Brazdil	1	-0/+2
	Add a post-processing step to compilation of KVM nVHE hyp code which calls a custom host tool (gen-hyprel) on the partially linked object file (hyp sections' names prefixed). The tool lists all R_AARCH64_ABS64 data relocations targeting hyp sections and generates an assembly file that will form a new section .hyp.reloc in the kernel binary. The new section contains an array of 32-bit offsets to the positions targeted by these relocations. Since these addresses of those positions will not be determined until linking of `vmlinux`, each 32-bit entry carries a R_AARCH64_PREL32 relocation with addend <section_base_sym> + <r_offset>. The linker of `vmlinux` will therefore fill the slot accordingly. This relocation data will be used at runtime to convert the kernel VAs at those positions to hyp VAs.

2020-09-30	kvm: arm64: Partially link nVHE hyp code, simplify HYPCOPY	David Brazdil	1	-0/+2
	Relying on objcopy to prefix the ELF section names of the nVHE hyp code is brittle and prevents us from using wildcards to match specific section names. Improve the build rules by partially linking all '.nvhe.o' files and prefixing their ELF section names using a linker script. Continue using objcopy for prefixing ELF symbol names. One immediate advantage of this approach is that all subsections matching a pattern can be merged into a single prefixed section, eg. .text and .text.* can be linked into a single '.hyp.text'. This removes the need for -fno-reorder-functions on GCC and will be useful in the future too: LTO builds use .text subsections, compilers routinely generate .rodata subsections, etc. Partially linking all hyp code into a single object file also makes it easier to analyze.
