From b34006c4258c9c86597b6b7123d6a9a3513d6cd7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2018 23:51:41 -0700 Subject: x86/jump_table: Use relative references Similar to the arm64 case, 64-bit x86 can benefit from using relative references rather than absolute ones when emitting struct jump_entry instances. Not only does this reduce the memory footprint of the entries themselves by 33%, it also removes the need for carrying relocation metadata on relocatable builds (i.e., for KASLR) which saves a fair chunk of .init space as well (although the savings are not as dramatic as on arm64) Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Cc: linux-s390@vger.kernel.org Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Heiko Carstens Cc: Kees Cook Cc: Will Deacon Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Martin Schwidefsky Cc: Jessica Yu Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180919065144.25010-7-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org --- tools/objtool/special.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'tools/objtool') diff --git a/tools/objtool/special.c b/tools/objtool/special.c index 84f001d52322..50af4e1274b3 100644 --- a/tools/objtool/special.c +++ b/tools/objtool/special.c @@ -30,9 +30,9 @@ #define EX_ORIG_OFFSET 0 #define EX_NEW_OFFSET 4 -#define JUMP_ENTRY_SIZE 24 +#define JUMP_ENTRY_SIZE 16 #define JUMP_ORIG_OFFSET 0 -#define JUMP_NEW_OFFSET 8 +#define JUMP_NEW_OFFSET 4 #define ALT_ENTRY_SIZE 13 #define ALT_ORIG_OFFSET 0 -- cgit v1.2.3
