[PATCH v5 mips-next 5/9] MIPS: vmlinux.lds.S: explicitly catch .rel.dyn symbols

From: Alexander Lobakin
Date: Sun Jan 10 2021 - 06:57:54 EST


According to linker warnings, both GCC and LLVM generate '.rel.dyn'
symbols:

mips-alpine-linux-musl-ld: warning: orphan section `.rel.dyn'
from `init/main.o' being placed in section `.rel.dyn'

Link-time assertion shows that this section is sometimes empty,
sometimes not, depending on machine bitness and the compiler [0]:

LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
mips64-linux-gnu-ld: Unexpected run-time relocations (.rel) detected!

Just use the ARM64 approach and declare it in vmlinux.lds.S closer
to __init_end.
