From 6c94f27ac847ff8ef15b3da5b200574923bd6287 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Fri, 1 Jan 2016 15:02:12 +0100 Subject: arm64: switch to relative exception tables Instead of using absolute addresses for both the exception location and the fixup, use offsets relative to the exception table entry values. Not only does this cut the size of the exception table in half, it is also a prerequisite for KASLR, since absolute exception table entries are subject to dynamic relocation, which is incompatible with the sorting of the exception table that occurs at build time. This patch also introduces the _ASM_EXTABLE preprocessor macro (which exists on x86 as well) and its _asm_extable assembly counterpart, as shorthands to emit exception table entries.
