arm64: Add support for relocating the kernel with RELR relocations
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).

+ * Apply RELR relocations.
+ *
+ * RELR is a compressed format for storing relative relocations. The
+ * encoded sequence of entries looks like:
+ * [ AAAAAAAA BBBBBBB1 BBBBBBB1 ... AAAAAAAA BBBBBB1 ... ]
+ *
+ * i.e. start with an address, followed by any number of bitmaps. The
+ * address entry encodes 1 relocation. The subsequent bitmap entries
+ * encode up to 63 relocations each, at subsequent offsets following
+ * the last address entry.
+ *
+ * The bitmap entries must have 1 in the least significant bit. The
+ * assumption here is that an address cannot have 1 in lsb. Odd
+ * addresses are not supported. Any odd addresses are stored in the RELA
+ * section, which is handled above.
+ *
+ * Excluding the least significant bit in the bitmap, each non-zero
+ * bit in the bitmap represents a relocation to be applied to
+ * a corresponding machine word that follows the base address
+ * word. The second least significant bit represents the machine
+ * word immediately following the initial address, and each bit
+ * that follows represents the next word, in linear order. As such,
+ * a single bitmap can encode up to 63 relocations in a 64-bit object.
+ *
+ * In this implementation we store the address of the next RELR table
+ * entry in x9, the address being relocated by the current address or
+ * bitmap entry in x13 and the address being relocated by the current
+ * bit in x14.
+ *
+ * Because addends are stored in place in the binary, RELR relocations
+ * cannot be applied idempotently. We use x24 to keep track of the
+ * currently applied displacement so that we can correctly relocate if
+ * __relocate_kernel is called twice with non-zero displacements (i.e.
+ * if there is both a physical misalignment and a KASLR displacement).
