A few places in the kexec control code page make the assumption that the first instruction of relocate_kernel is at the very start of the page. To allow for Clang CFI information to be added to relocate_kernel(), as well as the general principle of removing unwarranted assumptions, fix them to use the external __relocate_kernel_start symbol that the linker adds. This means using a separate addq and subq for calculating offsets, as the assembler can no longer calculate the delta directly for itself and relocations aren't that versatile. But those values can at least be used relative to a local label to avoid absolute relocations. Turn the jump from relocate_kernel() to identity_mapped() into a real indirect 'jmp *%rsi' too, while touching it. There was no real reason for it to be a push+ret in the first place, and adding Clang CFI info will also give objtool enough visibility to start complaining 'return with modified stack frame' about it.

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.
