Currently kernel image relocation tables and other ELF
data are set to base zero. Since kernel virtual and
physical address spaces are uncoupled the kernel is
mapped at the top of the virtual address space, hence
making the information contained in vmlinux ELF tables
inconsistent.
That does not pose any issue with regard to the kernel
booting and operation, but makes it difficult to use a
generated vmlinux with some debugging tools (e.g. gdb).
Relocate vmlinux image base address from zero to a base
address in the virtual address space. It is the address
that kernel is mapped to in cases KASLR is disabled.
The vmlinux ELF header before and after this change looks
like this:
Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
Entry point 0x100000
There are 3 program headers, starting at offset 64

Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr
FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
