This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled powerpc/vdso: Don't discard rela sections to the 6.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: powerpc-vdso-don-t-discard-rela-sections.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 14b6fb881bee97d6838bdaf55aa9f6b9d9727382 Author: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Aug 20 13:28:07 2024 +0200 powerpc/vdso: Don't discard rela sections [ Upstream commit 6114139c3bdde992f4a19264e4f9bfc100d8d776 ] After building the VDSO, there is a verification that it contains no dynamic relocation, see commit aff69273af61 ("vdso: Improve cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations"). This verification uses readelf -r and doesn't work if rela sections are discarded.
