I bump that thread up because Zong also noticed that 2 new relocations for
those symbols appeared in my riscv relocatable kernel branch following
that commit.
I also noticed 2 new relocations R_AARCH64_ABS64 appearing in arm64 kernel.
Those 2 weak undefined symbols have existed since commit
341dfcf8d78e ("btf: expose BTF info through sysfs") but this is the fact
to declare those symbols into btf.c that produced those relocations.
I'm not sure what this all means, but this is not something I expected
for riscv for
a kernel linked with -shared/-fpie. Maybe should we just leave them to
zero ?
I think that deserves a deeper look if someone understands all this
better than I do.
Alex
