With certain kernel configurations, the R_390_JMP_SLOT relocation type might be generated, which is not expected by the KASLR relocation code, and the kernel stops with the message "Unknown relocation type". This was found with a zfcpdump kernel config, where CONFIG_MODULES=n and CONFIG_VFIO=n. In that case, symbol_get() is used on undefined __weak symbols in virt/kvm/vfio.c, which results in the generation of R_390_JMP_SLOT relocation types. Fix this by handling R_390_JMP_SLOT similar to R_390_GLOB_DAT.

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.
