From a980ce352fcd408d30b044455e5f6e959d6258b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H.J. Lu" Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2016 13:07:19 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/build: Build compressed x86 kernels as PIE when !CONFIG_RELOCATABLE as well Since the bootloader may load the compressed x86 kernel at any address, it should always be built as PIE, not just when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise, linker in binutils 2.27 will optimize GOT load into the absolute address when building the compressed x86 kernel as a non-PIE executable. Signed-off-by: H.J.
