x86/boot: Robustify calling startup_{32,64}() from the decompressor code
After commit ce697ccee1a8 ("kbuild: remove head-y syntax"), I started digging whether x86 is ready for removing this old cruft. Removing its objects from the list makes the kernel unbootable. This applies only to bzImage, vmlinux still works correctly. The reason is that with no strict object order determined by the linker arguments, not the linker script, startup_64 can be placed not right at the beginning of the kernel. Here's vmlinux.map's beginning before removing: ffffffff81000000 vmlinux.o:(.head.text) ffffffff81000000 startup_64 ffffffff81000070 secondary_startup_64 ffffffff81000075 secondary_startup_64_no_verify ffffffff81000160 verify_cpu and after: ffffffff81000000 vmlinux.o:(.head.text) ffffffff81000000 pvh_start_xen ffffffff81000080 startup_64 ffffffff810000f0 secondary_startup_64 ffffffff810000f5 secondary_startup_64_no_verify Not a problem itself, but the self-extractor code has the address of that function hardcoded the beginning, not looking onto the ELF header, which always contains the address of startup_{32,64}(). So, instead of doing an "act of blind faith", just take the address from the ELF header and extract a relative offset to the entry point. The decompressor function already returns a pointer to the beginning of the kernel to the Asm code, which then jumps to it, so add that offset to the return value. This doesn't change anything for now, but allows to resign from the "head object list" for x86 and makes sure valid Kbuild or any other improvements won't break anything here in general.
