Thanks for the info, it looks like an existing relocation issue in
kallsyms under riscv arch.

commit 2087d6ac3567b (kallsyms: support "big" kernel symbols) changed
some code of kallsyms to support long Rust symbols, so it exposed that
relocation issue and triggered this report.

We'll do more checks next time to ensure the reported issue is indeed
Rust related.

Thanks,
Yujie
