Subject: [PATCH] riscv/efistub: Ensure GP-relative addressing is not used
Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2024 19:37:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <42c63cb9-87d0-49db-9af8-95771b186684@siemens.com> (raw)

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

The cflags for the RISC-V efistub were missing -mno-relax, thus were
under the risk that the compiler could use GP-relative addressing. That
happened for _edata with binutils-2.41 and kernel 6.1, causing the
relocation to fail due to an invalid kernel_size in handle_kernel_image.
It was not yet observed with newer versions, but that may just be luck.

Something like this should go to stable as well, but we will need 
rebased patches.
