On a randomly chosen distro kernel build for arm64, vmlinux.o shows the
following sections, containing jump label entries, and the associated
RELA relocation records, respectively:
...
[38088] __jump_table PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00e19f30
000000000002ea10 0000000000000000 WA 0 0 8
[38089] .rela__jump_table RELA 0000000000000000 01fd8bb0
000000000008be30 0000000000000018 I 38178 38088 8
...
In other words, we have 190 KB worth of 'struct jump_entry' instances,
and 573 KB worth of RELA entries to relocate each entry's code, target
and key members. This means the RELA section occupies 10% of the .init
segment, and the two sections combined represent 5% of vmlinux's entire
memory footprint.
So let's switch from 64-bit absolute references to 32-bit relative
references for the code and target field, and a 64-bit relative
reference for the 'key' field (which may reside in another module or the
core kernel, which may be more than 4 GB way on arm64 when running with
KASLR enable): this reduces the size of the __jump_table by 33%, and
gets rid of the RELA section entirely.
