[PATCH 1/3] kbuild: Restore pattern to avoid stripping .rela.dyn from vmlinux

From: Nathan Chancellor
Date: Wed Oct 08 2025 - 18:47:22 EST


Commit 0ce5139fd96e ("kbuild: always create intermediate
vmlinux.unstripped") removed the pattern to avoid stripping .rela.dyn
sections added by commit e9d86b8e17e7 ("scripts: Do not strip .rela.dyn
section"). Restore it so that .rela.dyn sections remain in the final
vmlinux.

Fixes: 0ce5139fd96e ("kbuild: always create intermediate vmlinux.unstripped")
