commit b28a8eebe81c186fdb1a0078263b30576c8e1f42 upstream. The trampoline code needs to use the address of symbols in the wider kernel, e.g. vectors. PC-relative addressing wouldn't work as the trampoline code doesn't run at the address the linker expected. tramp_ventry uses a literal pool, unless CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is set, in which case it uses the data page as a literal pool because the data page can be unmapped when running in user-space, which is required for CPUs vulnerable to meltdown. Pull this logic out as a macro, instead of adding a third copy of 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 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.
