Is that eu-readelf from a distro install? Then there is something wrong with
that install. If it is a build from source then make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH
contains the backends directory that has libebl_s390.so. Otherwise eu-readelf
won't know about machine specific ELF/DWARF mappings (like the relocation
types/names).

But the output does confirm what I feared. The R_390_PC32 .rela.eh_frame
relocations are not "simple". They are load based.

It might not be too hard to add support for those. But if there is any
possibility to generate .debug_frame based CFI for the s390x kernel modules
that would IMHO a much better/simpler solution because it makes things more in
line with other arches. It should also make the kernel modules smaller. Does
anything actually use the loaded .eh_frame CFI on s390x?
