/*
 * pie_hidden.h -- every symbol in the amd64 image is the image's own.
 *
 * Force-included (-include) ahead of every amd64 kernel and loader source by
 * kernel/Makefile's ARCH_CFLAGS, together with -fpie. The image is one PE file,
 * linked by ld -m i386pep, loaded by the firmware wherever it chooses: a PC's
 * firmware puts it above 2 GiB (the Beelink SER5 did), where the 32-bit absolute
 * addresses of -fno-pic code are sign-extended into unmapped memory and the
 * loader page-faults before its first checkpoint (FABRIC-3.md XLIV). -fpie
 * addresses every global relative to RIP, which is right at any load address.
 *
 * -fpie alone is not enough: GCC treats an extern declaration of default
 * visibility as possibly defined in another module and reaches it through the
 * GOT. This image has no dynamic linker and ld -m i386pep builds no GOT, so
 * such a read returns zero -- the 2026-08-06 bug (FABRIC-0.md). -fvisibility=
 * hidden covers definitions only; this pragma covers declarations too, so GCC
 * never uses the GOT. (EDK2's GCC X64 ProcessorBind.h does the same.)
 *
 * The Makefile checks the result: the link fails if any object still carries
 * a GOT or 32-bit absolute relocation.
