Alexandre Ghiti 43e76cd368 powerpc: Do not consider weak unresolved symbol relocations as bad
Commit 8580ac9404 ("bpf: Process in-kernel BTF") introduced two weak
symbols that may be unresolved at link time which result in an absolute
relocation to 0. relocs_check.sh emits the following warning:

"WARNING: 2 bad relocations
c000000001a41478 R_PPC64_ADDR64    _binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_start
c000000001a41480 R_PPC64_ADDR64    _binary__btf_vmlinux_bin_end"

whereas those relocations are legitimate even for a relocatable kernel
compiled with -pie option.

relocs_check.sh already excluded some weak unresolved symbols explicitly:
remove those hardcoded symbols and add some logic that parses the symbols
using nm, retrieves all the weak unresolved symbols and excludes those from
the list of the potential bad relocations.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
