From f285f4a21c3253887caceed493089ece17579d59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2015 16:51:46 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86, boot: Skip relocs when load address unchanged 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. Reported-by: Baoquan He Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Tested-by: Thomas D.
