Fabien Cadet on 25 Feb 17Seems to date back somewhere 'round 2011.
From the ELF 1.2 standard:"Relocation is the process of connecting symbolic references with symbolic definitions. For example, when a program calls a function, the associated call instruction must transfer control to the proper destination address at execution. In other words, relocatable files must have information that describes how to modify their section contents, thus allowing executable and shared object files to hold the right information for a process's program image. Relocation entries are these data."
