Good I read this.

Checked the previous build-log:

ld.lld-11 -m elf_x86_64 -T arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds
arch/x86/boot/compressed/kernel_info.o
arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_64.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.o
arch/x86/boot/compressed/string.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/cmdline.o
arch/x86/boot/compressed/error.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/piggy.o
arch/x86/boot/compressed/cpuflags.o
arch/x86/boot/compressed/early_serial_console.o
arch/x86/boot/compressed/kaslr.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/kaslr_64.o
arch/x86/boot/compressed/mem_encrypt.o
arch/x86/boot/compressed/pgtable_64.o arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.o
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib.a
arch/x86/boot/compressed/efi_thunk_64.o -o
arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux

So there is no -r option in this line.

If we move to LDFLAGS_vmlinux we can drop the "call ld-option" as both
linker GNU/ld.bfd and LLVM/lld.ld support this?

Do we need to adjust the comments?
# Compressed kernel should be built as PIE since it may be loaded at any
# address by the bootloader

That's the minimal change needed:

$ git diff arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile
diff --git a/arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile
b/arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile
index 789d5d14d8b0..d0aafcd8cf6c 100644
--- a/arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile
+++ b/arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile
@@ -51,8 +51,8 @@ UBSAN_SANITIZE :=n
KBUILD_LDFLAGS := -m elf_$(UTS_MACHINE)
