[PATCH v7 06/10] kernel: tracepoints: add support for relative references

2018-01-02 Thread Ard Biesheuvel
To avoid the need for relocating absolute references to tracepoint structures at boot time when running relocatable kernels (which may take a disproportionate amount of space), add the option to emit these tables as relative references instead. Cc: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Steven
