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.

Do you want me to pick up this?

Or, do you think it should be done by the committer of
5cf896fb6be3effd9aea455b22213e27be8bdb1d ?

Not sure it matters a whole bunch TBH.  If you have the bandwidth and
are willing to merge it, please feel free to do so.
