So far the RELACOUNT tag from the ELF header was containing the exact number of R_PPC_RELATIVE/R_PPC64_RELATIVE relocations. However the LLVM's recent change [1] make it equal-or-less than the actual number which makes it useless. This replaces RELACOUNT in zImage loader with a pair of RELASZ and RELAENT. The vmlinux relocation code is fixed in commitd799769188("powerpc/64: Add UADDR64 relocation support"). To make it more future proof, this walks through the entire .rela.dyn section instead of assuming that the section is sorter by a relocation type. Unliked799769188, this does not add unaligned UADDR/UADDR64 relocations as we are likely not to see those in practice - the zImage is small and very arch specific so there is a smaller chance that some generic feature (such as PRINK_INDEX) triggers unaligned relocations.

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.
