Re: [PATCH] RISCV-V: Add new relocation type for global array accesses with non-constant indices
Jan Beulich provides feedback on a patch adding new RISC-V relocation types, specifically addressing issues with the ChangeLog format and inconsistent indentation. He points out that ChangeLog entries should now be part of commit messages, not directly patched, and that the patch uses spaces where tabs should be used for indentation. The original patch introduced three new relocation types and updated ELF support for RISC-V to handle them.
