x86/xen: Move hypercall_page to top of the file
Because hypercall_page is page-aligned, the assembler inexplicably adds an unreachable jump from after the end of the previous code to the beginning of hypercall_page. That confuses objtool, understandably. It also creates significant text fragmentation. As a result, much of the object file is wasted text (nops). Move hypercall_page to the beginning of the file to both prevent the text fragmentation and avoid the dead jump instruction. $ size /tmp/head_64.before.o /tmp/head_64.after.o text data bss dec hex filename 10924 307252 4096 322272 4eae0 /tmp/head_64.before.o 6823 307252 4096 318171 4dadb /tmp/head_64.after.o Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210820193107.omvshmsqbpxufzkc@treble
