Although code is compiled with -fpic option data is not position
independent. This causes data pointer to become invalid if
code is not relocated properly which is what happens for
efi_multiboot2 which is called by multiboot entry code.

Code tested adding
   PrintErrMesg(L"Test message", EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL);
in efi_multiboot2 before calling efi_arch_edd (this function
can potentially call PrintErrMesg).

with vanilla xen.gz):

Do source files other than boot.c really need this? Do any other files outside
of efi/ maybe also need this (iirc this point was made along with the v5 comment
you got)?

Every TU reachable from efi_multiboot2() needs this, because all of
those have logic executed at an incorrect virtual address.

I assume all the files in efi directory will deal with EFI boot so
it's good to have the option enabled for the files inside the
directory. The only exception seems runtime.c file.
About external dependencies not sure how to detect them (beside
looking at all symbols).

And compat.c, being a wrapper around runtime.c.

Which raises the question whether we don't need to turn on that option
globally, without (as we have it now) any condition.

Are you saying enabling that option for all Xen? That potentially
would decrease performances, we have a lot of switches in the code.

-fno-switch-tables is active by default whenever INDIRECT_THUNK is
enabled, and when CET-IBT is enabled to work around a GCC bug/misfeature.

With speculation protections active, indirect branches are *far* slower
than alternative ways of expressing a switch statement.

I would avoid adding a potential option that could affect performances
so badly at the moment.
These changes are pretty contained.
I would merge this patch and check any external dependencies as a follow up.

Well. It's a judgement call to the maintainers. If I were them, I'd demand
that Andrew's remark be addressed, one way or another.
