x86/paravirt: Use relative reference for the original instruction offset
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Similar to the alternative patching, use a relative reference for original
instruction offset rather than absolute one, which saves 8 bytes for one
PARA_SITE entry on x86_64.  As a result, a R_X86_64_PC32 relocation is
generated instead of an R_X86_64_64 one, which also reduces relocation
metadata on relocatable builds. Hardcode the alignment to 4 now.
