According to the defined relocation types at http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/elf/x86_64-abi-0.98.pdf, I appear to be encountering an undefined type "R_X86_64_29" when attempting to load kexec Does anyone have any idea what this undefined type indicates? $ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -E "^CONFIG_KEXEC|^CONFIG_RELOCAT" CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y $ KERNEL=3.18.5-20150202 $ sudo kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-${KERNEL} --reuse-cmdline --initrd="/boot/initrd-${KERNEL}.gz" -d kernel: 0x7fb387de4010 kernel_size: 0x39c190 MEMORY RANGES 0000000000000100-0000000000057fff (0) 0000000000058000-0000000000058fff (1) 0000000000059000-000000000009bfff (0) 000000000009c000-000000000009cfff (1) 000000000009d000-000000000009dfff (0) 000000000009e000-00000000000bffff (1) 0000000000100000-00000000cfd57fff (0) 00000000cfd58000-00000000cff59fff (1) 00000000cff5a000-00000000da44cfff (0) 00000000da44d000-00000000dcd3efff (1) 00000000dcd3f000-00000000dce7efff (3) 00000000dce7f000-00000000dcefefff (2) 00000000dceff000-00000000dcefffff (0) 00000000dcf00000-00000000df9fffff (1) 00000000f80f8000-00000000f80f8fff (1) 00000000fe101000-00000000fe112fff (1) 00000000fed1c000-00000000fed1ffff (1) 0000000100000000-000000031e5fffff (0) sym: _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ info: 10 other: 00 shndx: 0 value: 0 size: 0 sym: _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ value: 4 addr: 31e5f6004 R_X86_64_29 Unhandled rela relocation: R_X86_64_29 >From include/elf.h /* AMD x86-64 relocations. */ #define R_X86_64_NONE 0 /* No reloc */ #define R_X86_64_64 1 /* Direct 64 bit */ #define R_X86_64_PC32 2 /* PC relative 32 bit signed */ #define R_X86_64_GOT32 3 /* 32 bit GOT entry */ #define R_X86_64_PLT32 4 /* 32 bit PLT address */ #define R_X86_64_COPY 5 /* Copy symbol at runtime */ #define R_X86_64_GLOB_DAT 6 /* Create GOT entry */ #define R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT 7 /* Create PLT entry */ #define R_X86_64_RELATIVE 8 /* Adjust by program base */ #define R_X86_64_GOTPCREL 9 /* 32 bit signed PC relative offset to GOT */ #define R_X86_64_32 10 /* Direct 32 bit zero extended */ #define R_X86_64_32S 11 /* Direct 32 bit sign extended */ #define R_X86_64_16 12 /* Direct 16 bit zero extended */ #define R_X86_64_PC16 13 /* 16 bit sign extended pc relative */ #define R_X86_64_8 14 /* Direct 8 bit sign extended */ #define R_X86_64_PC8 15 /* 8 bit sign extended pc relative */ #define R_X86_64_DTPMOD64 16 /* ID of module containing symbol */ #define R_X86_64_DTPOFF64 17 /* Offset in module's TLS block */ #define R_X86_64_TPOFF64 18 /* Offset in initial TLS block */ #define R_X86_64_TLSGD 19 /* 32 bit signed PC relative offset to two GOT entries for GD symbol */ #define R_X86_64_TLSLD 20 /* 32 bit signed PC relative offset to two GOT entries for LD symbol */ #define R_X86_64_DTPOFF32 21 /* Offset in TLS block */ #define R_X86_64_GOTTPOFF 22 /* 32 bit signed PC relative offset to GOT entry for IE symbol */ #define R_X86_64_TPOFF32 23 /* Offset in initial TLS block */ #define R_X86_64_NUM 24
