Orphan link sections were a long-standing source of obscure bugs,

because the heuristics that various linkers & compilers use to handle them
 (include these bits into the output image vs discarding them silently)
 are both highly idiosyncratic and also version dependent.
 
 Instead of this historically problematic mess, this tree by Kees Cook (et al)
 adds build time asserts and build time warnings if there's any orphan section
 in the kernel or if a section is not sized as expected.
 
 And because we relied on so many silent assumptions in this area, fix a metric
 ton of dependencies and some outright bugs related to this, before we can
 finally enable the checks on the x86, ARM and ARM64 platforms.

Pull orphan section checking from Ingo Molnar:
 "Orphan link sections were a long-standing source of obscure bugs,
  because the heuristics that various linkers & compilers use to handle
  them (include these bits into the output image vs discarding them
  silently) are both highly idiosyncratic and also version dependent.

  Instead of this historically problematic mess, this tree by Kees Cook
  (et al) adds build time asserts and build time warnings if there's any
  orphan section in the kernel or if a section is not sized as expected.

  And because we relied on so many silent assumptions in this area, fix
  a metric ton of dependencies and some outright bugs related to this,

+ * This macro gives the relative virtual address of X, i.e. the offset of X

+ * assembler/linker that we do not want the actual run-time address of X. This
+ * prevents the linker from trying to create unwanted run-time relocation
+ * entries for the reference when the compressed kernel is linked as PIE.
+ *
+ * A reference X(%reg) will result in the link-time VA of X being stored with
+ * the instruction, and a run-time R_X86_64_RELATIVE relocation entry that
+ * adds the 64-bit base address where the kernel is loaded.
+ *
+ * Replacing it with (X-startup_32)(%reg) results in the offset being stored,
+ * and no run-time relocation.
+ *
+ * The macro should be used as a displacement with a base register containing
+ * the run-time address of startup_32 [i.e. rva(X)(%reg)], or as an immediate
+ * [$ rva(X)].
