6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx> commit fa5750521e0a4efbc1af05223da9c4bbd6c21c83 upstream. Ancient buggy EFI loaders may have required a .reloc section to be present at some point in time, but this has not been true for a long time so the .reloc section can just be dropped.
