mainlining shenanigans
5c9b0b1c49
Eric and Hugh have reported instant reboot due to my recent changes in
decompression code.
The root cause is that I didn't realize that we need to adjust GOT to be
able to run C code that early.
The problem is only visible with an older toolchain. Binutils >= 2.24 is
able to eliminate GOT references by replacing them with RIP-relative
address loads:

We need to adjust GOT two times:
- before calling paging_prepare() using the initial load address
- before calling C code from the relocated kernel

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
