I did that. After

$ make V=1
$ sudo make modules_install V=1
$ sudo make install

I grepped for "emit-relocs" in the log and saw many instances such as

   ./tools/objtool/objtool check  --module --retpoline
"drivers/scsi/aacraid/dpcsup.o";

OR

  ld -r -m elf_x86_64 --emit-relocs  -z max-page-size=0x200000 -T
./scripts/module-common.lds  --build-id  -o
sound/usb/line6/snd-usb-line6.ko sound/usb/line6/snd-usb-line6.o
sound/usb/line6/snd-usb-line6.mod.o ;  true



I guess that all kernel modules are now use --emit-relocs.
I would like to be sure that libc and those files related to syscalls
are also using that.

I grepped for "libc.so" but it seems that there is no such match.
Did I miss something?
