scripts: Do not strip .rela.dyn section
The .rela.dyn section contains runtime relocations and is only emitted for a relocatable kernel. riscv uses this section to relocate the kernel at runtime but that section is stripped from vmlinux. That prevents kexec to successfully load vmlinux since it does not contain the relocations info needed. Fixes: 559d1e45a16d ("riscv: Use --emit-relocs in order to move .rela.dyn in init") Tested-by: Björn Töpel <bjorn@rivosinc.com> Reviewed-by: Björn Töpel <bjorn@rivosinc.com> Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250408072851.90275-1-alexghiti@rivosinc.com Signed-off-by: Alexandre Ghiti <alexghiti@rivosinc.com>
