Object files used to link .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 have many R_PPC64_ADDR64 relocations in non-SHF_WRITE sections. There are many text relocations (e.g. in .rela___ksymtab_gpl+* and .rela__mcount_loc sections) in a -pie link and are disallowed by LLD: ld.lld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_PPC64_ADDR64 against local symbol in readonly segment; recompile object files with -fPIC or pass '-Wl,-z,notext' to allow text relocations in the output >>> defined in arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o >>> referenced by arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o:(__restart_table+0x10) Newer GNU ld configured with "--enable-textrel-check=error" will report an error as well: $ ld-new -EL -m elf64lppc -pie ... -o .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 ... ld-new: read-only segment has dynamic relocations Add "-z notext" to suppress the errors. Non-CONFIG_RELOCATABLE builds use the default -no-pie mode and thus R_PPC64_ADDR64 relocations can be resolved at link-time.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
