[v6,1/3] riscv: Introduce CONFIG_RELOCATABLE

Commit Message

Alexandre Ghiti May 18, 2021, 10:12 a.m. UTC

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.
