From: Kees Cook Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:51:46 +0000 (-0800) Subject: x86, boot: Skip relocs when load address unchanged X-Git-Tag: v3.16.35~2981 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ce824105e13a6cf0713ee86a1857d38608cb1e9a;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git x86, boot: Skip relocs when load address unchanged commit f285f4a21c3253887caceed493089ece17579d59 upstream. On 64-bit, relocation is not required unless the load address gets changed. Without this, relocations do unexpected things when the kernel is above 4G.
