commit c1f6eff304e4dfa4558b6a8c6b2d26a91db6c998 upstream. When trying to load modules built for RISC-V which include assembly files the kernel loader errors with "unexpected relocation type 'R_RISCV_ALIGN'" due to R_RISCV_ALIGN relocations being generated by the assembler. The R_RISCV_ALIGN relocations can be removed at the expense of code space by adding -mno-relax to gcc and as. In commit7a8e7da422("RISC-V: Fixes to module loading") -mno-relax is added to the build variable KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE. See [1] for more info. The issue is that when kbuild builds a .S file, it invokes gcc with the -mno-relax flag, but this is not being passed through to the assembler. Adding -Wa,-mno-relax to KBUILD_AFLAGS_MODULE ensures that the assembler is invoked correctly. This may have now been fixed in gcc[2] and this addition should not stop newer gcc and as from working.

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.
