From 377d9095117c084b835e38c020faf5a78e386f01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2024 18:20:44 +0200 Subject: vmlinux: Avoid weak reference to notes section Weak references are references that are permitted to remain unsatisfied in the final link. This means they cannot be implemented using place relative relocations, resulting in GOT entries when using position independent code generation. The notes section should always exist, so the weak annotations can be omitted.
