riscv: Stop considering R_RISCV_NONE as bad relocations

2025-07-16T15:13:55+00:00

Even though those relocations should not be present in the final vmlinux, there are a lot of them. And since those relocations are considered "bad", they flood the compilation output which may hide some legitimate bad relocations.

riscv: Check relocations at compile time

2023-04-19T14:46:32+00:00

Relocating kernel at runtime is done very early in the boot process, so it is not convenient to check for relocations there and react in case a relocation was not expected. There exists a script in scripts/ that extracts the relocations from vmlinux that is then used at postlink to check the relocations.
