Hi,
This series introduces Position Independent Executables (PIEs) for the ARM architecture. The main goal is to avoid having to write low level code in assembly as this is currently the case for suspend/resume. Multiple platforms will benefit from this infrastructure: at91, rockchip, am335x.
Russell, do you see any remaining issues with the current approach?
Changes in v3: - rebased on v4.8-rc1
Changes in v2: - handle big endian - handle gcov and ftrace by disabling them before compilling the PIE - Get the alignment from the original ELF to ensure the PIE is properly aligned in SRAM. - stop using fncpy - rebased on v4.7-rc1
*** BLURB HERE ***
