  and drop reliance on _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[0] being the link-time
address of _DYNAMIC. &__ehdr_start is a better way to get the load address.

This is similar to commits b37b75d269883a2c553bb7019a813094eb4e2dd1
(x86-64) and 43d06ed218fc8be58987bdfd00e21e5720f0b862 (aarch64).

This commit causes very early OOPs on QEMU running kernel for ARM32 bit.

I've found this issue when developing and testing glibc ptests with the
newest glibc -master.

I'm going to debug this issue and share more info.

Reverting this patch (SHA1: bca0f5cbc9257c13322b99e55235c4f21ba0bd82)
causes the kernel to boot again.


The exact error is attached.


Best regards,

Lukasz Majewski
