Commit 27f2a4db76e8 ("Makefile: fix GDB warning with CONFIG_RELR")
added --use-android-relr-tags to fix a GDB warning
BFD: /android0/linux-next/vmlinux: unknown type [0x13] section `.relr.dyn'
The GDB warning has been fixed in version 11.2.
The DT_ANDROID_RELR tag was deprecated since DT_RELR was standardized.
Thus, --use-android-relr-tags should be removed. While making the
change, try -z pack-relative-relocs, which is supported since LLD 15.
Keep supporting --pack-dyn-relocs=relr as well for older LLD versions.
There is no indication of obsolescence for --pack-dyn-relocs=relr.
As of today, GNU ld supports the latter option for x86 and powerpc64
ports and has no intention to support --pack-dyn-relocs=relr. In the
absence of the glibc symbol version GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR,
--pack-dyn-relocs=relr and -z pack-relative-relocs are identical in
ld.lld.
GNU ld and newer versions of LLD report warnings (instead of errors) for
unknown -z options. Only errors lead to non-zero exit codes. Therefore,
we should test --pack-dyn-relocs=relr before testing
-z pack-relative-relocs.

GDB produces the following warning when debugging kernels built with
CONFIG_RELR:
BFD: /android0/linux-next/vmlinux: unknown type [0x13] section `.relr.dyn'
when loading a kernel built with CONFIG_RELR into GDB. It can also
prevent debugging symbols using such relocations.
Peter sugguests:
[That flag] means that lld will use dynamic tags and section type
numbers in the OS-specific range rather than the generic range. The
kernel itself doesn't care about these numbers; it determines the
location of the RELR section using symbols defined by a linker script.

When the CC variable contains quotes, e.g. when using
ccache (make CC="ccache <compiler>"), this script always
fails, so CONFIG_RELR is never enabled, even when the
toolchain supports this feature. Removing the /dev/null
redirect and invoking the script manually shows the issue:
$ CC='/usr/bin/ccache clang' ./scripts/tools-support-relr.sh
./scripts/tools-support-relr.sh: 7: ./scripts/tools-support-relr.sh: /usr/bin/ccache clang: not found
Fix this by un-quoting the variables.
Before:
$ make ARCH=arm64 CC='/usr/bin/ccache clang' LD=ld.lld \
NM=llvm-nm OBJCOPY=llvm-objcopy defconfig
$ grep RELR .config
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_RELR=y
With this change:
$ make ARCH=arm64 CC='/usr/bin/ccache clang' LD=ld.lld \
NM=llvm-nm OBJCOPY=llvm-objcopy defconfig
$ grep RELR .config
CONFIG_TOOLS_SUPPORT_RELR=y
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_RELR=y
CONFIG_RELR=y

RELR is a relocation packing format for relative relocations.
The format is described in a generic-abi proposal:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/generic-abi/bX460iggiKg/discussion
The LLD linker can be instructed to pack relocations in the RELR
format by passing the flag --pack-dyn-relocs=relr.
This patch adds a new config option, CONFIG_RELR. Enabling this option
instructs the linker to pack vmlinux's relative relocations in the RELR
format, and causes the kernel to apply the relocations at startup along
with the RELA relocations. RELA relocations still need to be applied
because the linker will emit RELA relative relocations if they are
unrepresentable in the RELR format (i.e. address not a multiple of 2).
Enabling CONFIG_RELR reduces the size of a defconfig kernel image
with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE by 3.5MB/16% uncompressed, or 550KB/5%
compressed (lz4).
