It seems that LLVM's linker does not correctly handle variable assignments
involving section positions that are updated during the SECTIONS
parsing. Commit aa69fb62bea1 ("arm64/efi: Mark __efistub_stext_offset as
an absolute symbol explicitly") ran into this too, but found a different
workaround.
However, this was not enough, as other variables were also miscalculated
which manifested as boot failures under UEFI where __efistub__end was
not taking the correct _end value (they should be the same):
$ ld.lld -EL -maarch64elf --no-undefined -X -shared \
-Bsymbolic -z notext -z norelro --no-apply-dynamic-relocs \
-o vmlinux.lld -T poc.lds --whole-archive vmlinux.o && \
readelf -Ws vmlinux.lld | egrep '\b(__efistub_|)_end\b'
368272: ffff000002218000 0 NOTYPE LOCAL HIDDEN 38 __efistub__end
368322: ffff000012318000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 38 _end
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd -EL -maarch64elf --no-undefined -X -shared \
-Bsymbolic -z notext -z norelro --no-apply-dynamic-relocs \
-o vmlinux.bfd -T poc.lds --whole-archive vmlinux.o && \
readelf -Ws vmlinux.bfd | egrep '\b(__efistub_|)_end\b'
338124: ffff000012318000 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS __efistub__end
383812: ffff000012318000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 15325 _end
To work around this, all of the __efistub_-prefixed variable assignments
need to be moved after the linker script's SECTIONS entry. As it turns
out, this also solves the problem fixed in commit aa69fb62bea1, so those
changes are reverted here.

RELR is a relocation packing format for relative relocations. The format is described in a generic-abi proposal: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/generic-abi/bX460iggiKg/discussion The LLD linker can be instructed to pack relocations in the RELR format by passing the flag --pack-dyn-relocs=relr. This patch adds a new config option, CONFIG_RELR. Enabling this option instructs the linker to pack vmlinux's relative relocations in the RELR format, and causes the kernel to apply the relocations at startup along with the RELA relocations. RELA relocations still need to be applied because the linker will emit RELA relative relocations if they are unrepresentable in the RELR format (i.e. address not a multiple of 2). Enabling CONFIG_RELR reduces the size of a defconfig kernel image with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE by 3.5MB/16% uncompressed, or 550KB/5% compressed (lz4).

readelf complains about the section layout of vmlinux when building
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y (for KASLR):
readelf: Warning: [21]: Link field (0) should index a symtab section.
readelf: Warning: [21]: Info field (0) should index a relocatable section.
Also, it seems that our use of '-pie -shared' is contradictory, and
thus ambiguous. In general, the way KASLR is wired up at the moment
is highly tailored to how ld.bfd happens to implement (and conflate)
PIE executables and shared libraries, so given the current effort to
support other toolchains, let's fix some of these issues as well.
- Drop the -pie linker argument and just leave -shared. In ld.bfd,
the differences between them are unclear (except for the ELF type
of the produced image [0]) but lld chokes on seeing both at the
same time.
- Rename the .rela output section to .rela.dyn, as is customary for
shared libraries and PIE executables, so that it is not misidentified
by readelf as a static relocation section (producing the warnings
above).
- Pass the -z notext and -z norelro options to explicitly instruct the
linker to permit text relocations, and to omit the RELRO program
header (which requires a certain section layout that we don't adhere
to in the kernel). These are the defaults for current versions of
ld.bfd.
- Discard .eh_frame and .gnu.hash sections to avoid them from being
emitted between .head.text and .text, screwing up the section layout.
These changes only affect the ELF image, and produce the same binary
image.

Since the struct lsm_info table is not an initcall, we can just move it into INIT_DATA like all the other tables.

Now that deliberate writes to swapper_pg_dir are made via the fixmap, we can defend against errant writes by moving it into the rodata section. Since tramp_pg_dir and reserved_ttbr0 must be at a fixed offset from swapper_pg_dir, and are not modified at runtime, these are also moved into the rodata section. Likewise, idmap_pg_dir is not modified at runtime, and is moved into rodata.

Since the address of swapper_pg_dir is fixed for a given kernel image, it is an attractive target for manipulation via an arbitrary write. To mitigate this we'd like to make it read-only by moving it into the rodata section. We require that swapper_pg_dir is at a fixed offset from tramp_pg_dir and reserved_ttbr0, so these will also need to move into rodata. However, swapper_pg_dir is allocated along with some transient page tables used for boot which we do not want to move into rodata. As a step towards this, this patch separates the boot-time page tables into a new init_pg_dir, and reduces swapper_pg_dir to the single page it needs to be. This allows us to retain the relationship between swapper_pg_dir, tramp_pg_dir, and swapper_pg_dir, while cleanly separating these from the boot-time page tables. The init_pg_dir holds all of the pgd/pud/pmd/pte levels needed during boot, and all of these levels will be freed when we switch to the swapper_pg_dir, which is initialized by the existing code in paging_init(). Since we start off on the init_pg_dir, we no longer need to allocate a transient page table in paging_init() in order to ensure that swapper_pg_dir isn't live while we initialize it. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Currently the early assembler page table code assumes that precisely 1xpgd, 1xpud, 1xpmd are sufficient to represent the early kernel text mappings. Unfortunately this is rarely the case when running with a 16KB granule, and we also run into limits with 4KB granule when building much larger kernels. This patch re-writes the early page table logic to compute indices of mappings for each level of page table, and if multiple indices are required, the next-level page table is scaled up accordingly. Also the required size of the swapper_pg_dir is computed at link time to cover the mapping [KIMAGE_ADDR + VOFFSET, _end]. When KASLR is enabled, an extra page is set aside for each level that may require extra entries at runtime.

The trampoline page tables are positioned after the early page tables in the kernel linker script. As we are about to change the early page table logic to resolve the swapper size at link time as opposed to compile time, the SWAPPER_DIR_SIZE variable (currently used to locate the trampline) will be rendered unsuitable for low level assembler. This patch solves this issue by moving the trampoline before the PAN page tables. The offset to the trampoline from ttbr1 can then be expressed by: PAGE_SIZE + RESERVED_TTBR0_SIZE, which is available to the entry assembler.
