Feel free to add my...

Tested-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@gmail.com>

...when you restore "old" behaviour when CONFIG_LD_IS_LLD=y (apply or

...and use one "runtime" in your subject-line:

$ git log --oneline
v5.8-rc5..for-5.8/x86-boot-compressed-remove-runtime-relocations-nivedita-v4
| egrep 'runtime|run-time'
9547f8f08689 x86/boot: Check that there are no runtime relocations
ede02a307b30 x86/boot: Remove runtime relocations from head_{32,64}.S
525a67ac7ea9 x86/boot: Remove run-time relocations from .head.text code

Thanks.
