For the following assembly code:
.text
.global func
func:
nop
.data
var:
.dword func
When linked with `-pie`, GNU LD populates the `var` variable with the
pre-relocated value of `func`. However, LLVM LLD does not exhibit the
same behavior. This issue also arises with the `kernel_entry` in arch/
loongarch/kernel/head.S:
_head:
.word MZ_MAGIC /* "MZ", MS-DOS header */
.org 0x8
.dword kernel_entry /* Kernel entry point */
The correct kernel entry from the MS-DOS header is crucial for jumping
to vmlinux from zboot. This necessity is why the compressed relocatable
kernel compiled by Clang encounters difficulties in booting.
To address this problem, it is proposed to apply dynamic relocations to
place with `--apply-dynamic-relocs`.

============
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.
