Hi Fangrui,
Apologize for the delay, I totally missed that you had a new version of your
patch since it was threaded with the old one.
Thank you! No worries.

The actual intention is that no dynamic relocation exists. However, some
GNU ld ports produce unneeded R_*_NONE. (If a port fails to determine
the exact .rel[a].dyn size, the trailing zeros become R_*_NONE
relocations. E.g. ld's powerpc port recently fixed
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29540) R_*_NONE are
generally no-op in the dynamic loaders. So just ignore them.
With the change, we can remove ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS. ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS is a
bit misnomer as ports may check RELAVETIVE/GLOB_DAT/JUMP_SLOT which are
not called "absolute relocations". (The patch is motivated by the arm64
port missing R_AARCH64_RELATIVE.)
It makes sense to update the name, it started as "absolute relocations" but then
it evolved into something else.
A part that, did you perform any testing with the generated vDSO libraries?
I checked that the built vdso did not change (the patch just changes
some post-link verification).
To be more sure, I used commands like
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/tc-build/blob/main/kernel/build.sh#L305
to build a kernel and commands like
~/Dev/ClangBuiltLinux/boot-utils/boot-qemu.py -a arm64 -k /tmp/linux/arm64
to run an image for a couple of architectures.
The initrd images run some init scripts along with
# buildroot/overlay-poweroff/etc/init.d/S50yolo
cat /proc/version
poweroff
I think these have exercised vdso.

Change from v1:
* rebase after 8ac3b5cd3e0521d92f9755e90d140382fc292510 (lib/vdso: use "grep -E"
instead of "egrep")
* change the commit message to mention an example GNU ld bug; no longer say the
patch fixes a deprecated egrep use

I would still add a comment here to say why we are including the generic
Makefile to prevent that it gets accidentally removed (similar thing for every
architecture touched by this patch).
With that:
