MIPS: Octeon: Enable KASLR
This patch enables KASLR for Octeon systems. The SMP startup code is such that the secondaries monitor the volatile variable 'octeon_processor_relocated_kernel_entry' for any non-zero value. The 'plat_post_relocation hook' is used to set that value to the kernel entry point of the relocated kernel. The secondary CPUs will then jusmp to the new kernel, perform their initialization again and begin waiting for the boot CPU to start them via the relocated loop 'octeon_spin_wait_boot'. Inspired by Steven's code from Cavium. Signed-off-by: Matt Redfearn <matt.redfearn@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Steven J.

This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
