Need for .rel.text in vmlinux!

[sebas sujeen]

Hello,
  I was just verifying the sections in vmlinux file, I am just thinking why
there is a .rel.text or more generally relocation sections in a vmlinux
file. If it is relocatable , then does it not require a linker of some sort
to fix the relocation symbols? Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
