Subject: [PATCH] x86/tools: deal with 64-bit relative relocations for per-CPU symbols

In order to fix an issue in the place relative ksymtab code, we
need to switch to 64-bit place relative references, which
require special handling in the x86 'relocs' tool. The reason
is that per-CPU symbols on x86_64 live in a separate link time
section, whose load time address is not reflected in the ELF
metadata, and so relative references emitted by the toolchain
are guaranteed to be wrong.

So fix this by extending the handling of 32-bit relative references
to per-CPU variables to support 64-bit relative references as
well.

This is a follow-up to [0] and a prerequisite to the change it
implements: using 64-bit relative references on x86_64 requires
this handling in the 'relocs' tool and in the decompressor.

This patch plus [0] build and boot tested with x86_64_defconfig on QEMU/kvm + OVMF.
