Cover letter [PATCH 00/12] ARM: use adr_l/ldr_l macros for PC-relative references
This is a respin of the adr_l/ldr_l code I wrote some years ago in the context of my KASLR proof of concept for 32-bit ARM.
A new use case came up, in the form of Clang, which does not implement the 'adrl' pseudo-instruction in its assembler, and so for PC-relative references that don't fit into a ARM adr instruction, we need something else. Patch #2 addresses an actual Clang build issue of this nature, by replacing an occurrence of adrl with adr_l.
I have included my existing cleanup patches that were built on top of the adr_l macro, which replace several occurrences of open coded arithmetic to calculate runtime addresses based on link time virtual addresses stored in literals.
Note that all of these patches with the exception of #2 were reviewed or acked by Nico before, but given that this was a while ago (and the fact that neither of us work for Linaro anymore), I have dropped these. Note that only patch #1 deviates significantly from the last version that I sent out, the remaining ones were just freshened up (and their commit logs slightly expanded).
