Subject: [PR22764][LD][AARCH64]Allow R_AARCH64_ABS16 and R_AARCH64_ABS32 against absolution symbol or undefine symbol in shared object under LP64 abi.
Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none

Hi all,

The assumption that R_AARCH64_ABS16 and R_AARCH64_ABS32 relocation in LP64 abi
will be used to generate an address does not hold for absolute symbol.
In this case, it is a value fixed at static linking time.

The condition to check the relocations is relax to allow absolute symbol and
undefined symbol case.

aarch64 binutils cross/native regression test Okay. Linux kernel link Okay.

Okay to commit and backport to 2.30 branch?

Regards,
Renlin
