So I realized those relocations would be better in the init section so 
we can get rid of them at some point. So I tried the following:

diff --git a/arch/riscv/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S 
b/arch/riscv/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S

         __pecoff_data_raw_end = ABSOLUTE(.);


But then all the relocations in vmlinux end up being null:

vmlinux:     file format elf64-littleriscv

$ riscv64-linux-gnu-objdump -R vmlinux

DYNAMIC RELOCATION RECORDS
OFFSET           TYPE              VALUE
0000000000000000 R_RISCV_NONE      *ABS*
0000000000000000 R_RISCV_NONE      *ABS*
....

  I also noticed that re-linking vmlinux with the same command right 
after works (ie, the relocations are now valid):

$ riscv64-linux-gnu-objdump -R vmlinux

vmlinux:     file format elf64-littleriscv

DYNAMIC RELOCATION RECORDS
OFFSET           TYPE              VALUE
ffffffff82600718 R_RISCV_RELATIVE  *ABS*-0x000000007d9ff8e8
ffffffff82600720 R_RISCV_RELATIVE  *ABS*-0x000000007d9ff8e8
...

Below is the command used to generate this working vmlinux:

riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld -melf64lriscv -z noexecstack 
--no-warn-rwx-segments -shared -Bsymbolic -z notext -z norelro 
--no-relax --build-id=sha1 --script=./arch/riscv/kernel/vmlinux.lds 
-Map=vmlinux.map -o vmlinux --whole-archive vmlinux.a .vmlinux.export.o 
init/version-timestamp.o --no-whole-archive --start-group 
./drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib.a --end-group .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms3.o

I tried a lot of things, but I struggle to understand, does anyone have 
any idea? FYI, the same problem happens with LLVM.

Thanks,

Alex
