A little while ago someone (Kirill) ran into the whole 'alternatives don't
do relocations nonsense' again and I got annoyed enough to actually look
at the code.
Since the whole alternative machinery already fully decodes the
instructions it is simple enough to adjust immediates and displacement
when needed. Specifically, the immediates for IP modifying instructions
(JMP, CALL, Jcc) and the displacement for RIP-relative instructions.
[ bp: Massage comment some more and get rid of third loop in
apply_relocation(). ]

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 Restructured Text 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.
