[ Upstream commit 5141d3a06b2da1731ac82091298b766a1f95d3d8 ] elf_update_symbol fails to preserve the special st_shndx values between [SHN_LORESERVE, SHN_HIRESERVE], which results in it converting SHN_ABS entries into SHN_UNDEF, for example. Explicitly check for the special indexes and ensure these symbols are not marked undefined.

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.
