+Subject: x86/boot/compressed: Disable relocation relaxation
+
+From: Arvind Sankar <nivedita@alum.mit.edu>
+
+commit 09e43968db40c33a73e9ddbfd937f46d5c334924 upstream.
+
+The x86-64 psABI [0] specifies special relocation types
+(R_X86_64_[REX_]GOTPCRELX) for indirection through the Global Offset
+Table, semantically equivalent to R_X86_64_GOTPCREL, which the linker
+can take advantage of for optimization (relaxation) at link time. This
+is supported by LLD and binutils versions 2.26 onwards.
+
+The compressed kernel is position-independent code, however, when using
+LLD or binutils versions before 2.27, it must be linked without the -pie
+option. In this case, the linker may optimize certain instructions into
+a non-position-independent form, by converting foo@GOTPCREL(%rip) to $foo.
+
+This potential issue has been present with LLD and binutils-2.26 for a
+long time, but it has never manifested itself before now:
+
+- LLD and binutils-2.26 only relax
+       movq    foo@GOTPCREL(%rip), %reg
+  to
+       leaq    foo(%rip), %reg
+  which is still position-independent, rather than
+       mov     $foo, %reg
+  which is permitted by the psABI when -pie is not enabled.
+
+- GCC happens to only generate GOTPCREL relocations on mov instructions.
+
+- CLang does generate GOTPCREL relocations on non-mov instructions, but
+  when building the compressed kernel, it uses its integrated assembler
+  (due to the redefinition of KBUILD_CFLAGS dropping -no-integrated-as),
+  which has so far defaulted to not generating the GOTPCRELX
+  relocations.
+
+Nick Desaulniers reports [1,2]:
+
+  "A recent change [3] to a default value of configuration variable
+   (ENABLE_X86_RELAX_RELOCATIONS OFF -> ON) in LLVM now causes Clang's
+   integrated assembler to emit R_X86_64_GOTPCRELX/R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX
+   relocations. LLD will relax instructions with these relocations based
+   on whether the image is being linked as position independent or not.
+   When not, then LLD will relax these instructions to use absolute
+   addressing mode (R_RELAX_GOT_PC_NOPIC). This causes kernels built with
+   Clang and linked with LLD to fail to boot."
+
+Patch series [4] is a solution to allow the compressed kernel to be
+linked with -pie unconditionally, but even if merged is unlikely to be
+backported. As a simple solution that can be applied to stable as well,
+prevent the assembler from generating the relaxed relocation types using
+the -mrelax-relocations=no option. For ease of backporting, do this
+unconditionally.
