While this is the case of RELACOUNT, RELASZ appears to behave as
expected. For instance, on a random vmlinux file (with patch 3/3
applied), I get
Dynamic Section:
HASH 0xc000000000cf5a40
STRTAB 0xc000000000cf4d80
SYMTAB 0xc000000000cf3e98
STRSZ 0x0000000000000bae
SYMENT 0x0000000000000018
DEBUG 0x0000000000000000
RELA 0xc000000000cf5ee8
RELASZ 0x00000000003308b8
RELAENT 0x0000000000000018
TEXTREL 0x0000000000000000
FLAGS_1 0x0000000008000000
RELACOUNT 0x0000000000020444
where RELACOUNT is the number of just the R_PPC64_RELATIVE
relocations, whereas RELASZ covers all of them (which is why RELASZ /
RELAENT != RELACOUNT)
So if preferred, I can respin this patch to retrieve RELASZ from the
dynamic section rather than the end of the .rela section from the
linker script, which would reduce the delta of this patch somewhat.
