Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ARM: cpu: common: skip R_ARM_NONE relocations
Date: Tue,  6 Jan 2026 09:16:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106081659.3491945-1-a.fatoum@barebox.org> (raw)

Relocations may be turned into no-op in place by strip running on an
executable by having their type set to 0 (R_ARM_NONE).

This can happen with the incoming ELF loading in PBL support, so teach
relocate_to_current_adr() to skip these no-op relocation entries.
