[ Upstream commit d15e4314abec83e4f910659437bc809b0889e3a5 ]
cmd_vdso_check checks if there are any dynamic relocations in
vdso64.so.dbg. When kernel is compiled with
-mno-pic-data-is-text-relative, R_390_RELATIVE relocs are generated and
this results in kernel build error.
kpatch uses -mno-pic-data-is-text-relative option when building the
kernel to prevent relative addressing between code and data. The flag
avoids relocation error when klp text and data are too far apart
kpatch does not patch vdso code and hence the
mno-pic-data-is-text-relative flag is not essential.

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.
