This fixes a hard to debug hang that could occur in any stage, but in
the end it follows simple rules and is easy to fix.
In long mode the 32bit displacement addressing used on 'mov' and 'lea'
instructions is sign-extended. Those instructions can be found using
readelf on the stage and searching for relocation type R_X86_64_32S.
The sign extension is no issue when either running in protected mode or
the code module and thus the address is below 2GiB. If the address is
greater than 2GiB, as usually the case for code in TSEG, the higher
address bits [64:32] are all set to 1 and the effective address is
pointing to memory not paged. Accessing this memory will cause a page
fault, which isn't handled either.
To prevent such problems
- disable R_AMD64_32S relocations in rmodtool
- add comment explaining why it's not allowed
- use the pseudo op movabs, which doesn't use 32bit displacement addressing
- Print a useful error message if such a reloc is present in the code
Fixes a crash in TSEG and when in long mode seen on Intel Sandybridge.
