commit c091fb6ae059cda563b2a4d93fdbc548ef34e1d6 upstream. The trampoline code has a data page that holds the address of the vectors, which is unmapped when running in user-space. This ensures that with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, the randomised address of the kernel can't be discovered until after the kernel has been mapped. If the trampoline text page is extended to include multiple sets of vectors, it will be larger than a single page, making it tricky to find the data page without knowing the size of the trampoline text pages, which will vary with PAGE_SIZE. Move the data page to appear before the text page. This allows the data page to be found without knowing the size of the trampoline text pages. 'tramp_vectors' is used to refer to the beginning of the .entry.tramp.text section, do that explicitly.

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.
