With recent trunk versions of binutils and gcc, alignment directives are represented with R_LARCH_ALIGN relocs on LoongArch, which is necessary for the linker to maintain alignment requirements during its relaxation passes. And even though the kernel is built with relaxation disabled, so far a small number of R_LARCH_RELAX marker relocs are still emitted as part of la.* pseudo instructions in assembly. These two kinds of relocs do not refer to symbols, which can trip up modpost's section mismatch checks, because the r_offset of said relocs can be zero or any other meaningless value, eventually leading to a `from == NULL` condition in default_mismatch_handler and SIGSEGV. As the two kinds of relocs are not concerned with symbols, just ignore them for section mismatch check purposes.

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.
