I was able to reproduce the issue even in the mainline kernel.

But, the warnings are not only the export symbols,
but also a ton of false-positive section mismatch warnings.

To me, the RELA sections look broken when the vmlinux size
grows to a certain extent.

I suspected a toolchain bug, but I am not 100% sure.

In my investigation, this happens under some conditions.

 - It happens on RISCV 32-bit
 - It happens with GCC. LLVM is no problem.
 - It happens when the vmlinux size grows


I attached a simple reproducer script at the end of this reply.


Please checkout the v6.6 tag.
Run the reproducer, with the yes2modconfig line commented out.


When vmlinux.o is small, the relocation info looks sane.
For example,

$ riscv64-linux-gnu-size vmlinux.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
10762048 905937 342657 12010642 b74492 vmlinux.o
$ riscv64-linux-gnu-readelf -r vmlinux.o  | grep -m1 -A10 rela.export_symbol
Relocation section '.rela.export_symbol' at offset 0x1d9491d4 contains
9789 entries:
 Offset     Info    Type            Sym.Value  Sym. Name + Addend

Run the reproducer, with the yes2modconfig line in.

vmlinux.o gets bigger, and the relocation info is messed up.
ELF_R_SYM() starts to point local symbols ".LASF*"


$ riscv64-linux-gnu-size vmlinux.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
16831652 1141862 390321 18363835 11835bb vmlinux.o

$ riscv64-linux-gnu-readelf -r vmlinux.o  | grep -A10 rela.export_symbol
