Subject: [PATCH RFC 13/43] x86/paravirt: Use relative reference for original instruction
Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2023 17:50:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d0e601438f4d140c0c383c6ad09483b34c7c572e.1682673543.git.houwenlong.hwl@antgroup.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1682673542.git.houwenlong.hwl@antgroup.com>

Similar to the alternative patching, use relative reference for original
instruction rather than absolute one, which saves 8 bytes for one entry
on x86_64.  And it could generate R_X86_64_PC32 relocation instead of
R_X86_64_64 relocation, which also reduces relocation metadata on
relocatable builds. And the alignment could be hard coded to be 4 now.
