commit b8ec60e1186cdcfce41e7db4c827cb107e459002 upstream.
.discard.retpoline_safe sections do not have the SHF_ALLOC flag. These
sections referencing text sections' STT_SECTION symbols with PC-relative
relocations like R_386_PC32 [0] is conceptually not suitable. Newer
LLD will report warnings for REL relocations even for relocatable links [1]:
ld.lld: warning: vmlinux.a(drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.o):(.discard.retpoline_safe+0x120): has non-ABS relocation R_386_PC32 against symbol ''
Switch to absolute relocations instead, which indicate link-time
addresses. In a relocatable link, these addresses are also output
section offsets, used by checks in tools/objtool/check.c. When linking
vmlinux, these .discard.* sections will be discarded, therefore it is
not a problem that R_X86_64_32 cannot represent a kernel address.
Alternatively, we could set the SHF_ALLOC flag for .discard.* sections,
but I think non-SHF_ALLOC for sections to be discarded makes more sense.
Note: if we decide to never support REL architectures (e.g. arm, i386),
we can utilize R_*_NONE relocations (.reloc ., BFD_RELOC_NONE, sym),
making .discard.* sections zero-sized. That said, the section content
waste is 4 bytes per entry, much smaller than sizeof(Elf{32,64}_Rel).
