Ard Biesheuvel 0fd13033d4 x86/pvh: Call C code via the kernel virtual mapping
commit e8fbc0d9cab6c1ee6403f42c0991b0c1d5dbc092 upstream.

Calling C code via a different mapping than it was linked at is
problematic, because the compiler assumes that RIP-relative and absolute
symbol references are interchangeable. GCC in particular may use
RIP-relative per-CPU variable references even when not using -fpic.

So call xen_prepare_pvh() via its kernel virtual mapping on x86_64, so
that those RIP-relative references produce the correct values. This
matches the pre-existing behavior for i386, which also invokes
xen_prepare_pvh() via the kernel virtual mapping before invoking
startup_32 with paging disabled again.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
