[PATCH v6 2/8] ARM: assembler: define a Kconfig symbol for group relocation support

Tue Jan 25 01:14:47 PST 2022


Nathan reports the group relocations go out of range in pathological
cases such as allyesconfig kernels, which have little chance of actually
booting but are still used in validation.

So add a Kconfig symbol for this feature, and make it depend on
!COMPILE_TEST.
