    KVM: arm64: Generate hyp relocation data · 8c49b5d4
    David Brazdil authored
    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.
