With CONFIG_RELOCATABLE enabled, KBUILD_CFLAGS had a -fPIE option and then the purgatory/string.o was built to reference _ctype symbol via R_RISCV_GOT_HI20 relocations which can't be handled by purgatory. As a consequence, the kernel failed kexec_load_file() with: [ 880.386562] kexec_image: The entry point of kernel at 0x80200000 [ 880.388650] kexec_image: Unknown rela relocation: 20 [ 880.389173] kexec_image: Error loading purgatory ret=-8 So remove the -fPIE option for PURGATORY_CFLAGS to generate R_RISCV_PCREL_HI20 relocations type making puragtory work as it was.
