Commit 27f2a4db76e8 ("Makefile: fix GDB warning with CONFIG_RELR")
added --use-android-relr-tags to fix a GDB warning

BFD: /android0/linux-next/vmlinux: unknown type [0x13] section `.relr.dyn'

The GDB warning has been fixed in version 11.2.

The DT_ANDROID_RELR tag was deprecated since DT_RELR was standardized.
Thus, --use-android-relr-tags should be removed. While making the
change, replace --pack-dyn-relocs=relr with -z pack-relative-relocs,
which is supported since LLD 15.

As of today, GNU ld supports the latter option for x86 and powerpc64
ports and has no intention to support --pack-dyn-relocs=relr. In the
absence of the glibc symbol version GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR,
--pack-dyn-relocs=relr and -z pack-relative-relocs are identical in
ld.lld.

Hi Fangrui,

Looks like
commit 4a8de2832a2a ("[ELF] Add -z pack-relative-relocs")

Won't this regress support for CONFIG_TOOLS_SUPPORT_RELR for LLD
11-14? (which we still support, see Documentation/process/changes.rst;
I guess we don't list LLD explicitly, but it's effectively under the
llvm umbrella there).

IIUC, looks like lld 7.0+ should support SHT_RELR based on looking at
commit 11479daf2f06 ("lld: add experimental support for SHT_RELR sections.")

So we might want to invoke the linker twice, once with the new flag,
and again with the old if we fail the first time?

Yes, I am aware of the increased linker and debugger requirement and was
thinking the CONFIG_RELR=y case with ld.lld<15 did not matter.

Since you raised this, it seems that we should ld.lld<15. How about the following diff?

I forgot to check aarch64-linux-gnu-ld. To address the issue I can use:

# ld.lld before 15 did not support -z pack-relative-relocs.
if ! $LD $tmp_file.o -shared -Bsymbolic --pack-dyn-relocs=relr -o
$tmp_file 2>/dev/null; then
        $LD $tmp_file.o -shared -Bsymbolic -z pack-relative-relocs -o
$tmp_file 2>&1 |
                grep -q pack-relative-relocs && exit 1
fi
