>     kbuild: make better section mismatch reports on i386, arm and mips

Sorry, the patch breaks CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y build.  Actually I had
not tested with that configuration.

Linus already have reverted the commmit on git tree due to this breakage.

Unfortunately, fixing whole things in the _right_ way is somewhat out
of my ELF understanding.  Some help from ELF gurus are welcome!

Anyway, here is a updated patch tested on i386 (RELOCATABLE=y/n), arm,
and mips.  On calculation of 'location', sh_addr should be subtracted
(thank you for debugging, Linus).  And this patch contains an another
fix and an improvement of added_mips_rel
(kbuild-fix-and-improve-mips-rel-handling.patch in mm tree).


Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: make better section mismatch reports on i386, arm and mips (take 2)

On i386, ARM and MIPS, warn_sec_mismatch() sometimes fails to show
usefull symbol name.  This is because empty 'refsym' due to 0 r_addend
value.  This patch is to adjust r_addend value, consulting with
apply_relocate() routine in kernel code.
