The linker starts at the boot process.
The linker starts to link the objects under /usr/share/relink/kernel/GENERIC.MP/ every time I boot the system, even if it has done its work before. I have got this problem since 7.1.

I'll repeat what I wrote 6 days ago in your prior thread (http://daemonforums.org/showthread.p...2386#post72386). Kernel relinking is a security feature. Kernel Address Radomized Link (KARL) was introduced in 2017, with the release of OpenBSD 6.2. Perhaps you've never noticed its operation.
With OpenBSD's KARL, a new kernel is built in the background by the OS during every normal boot, for use on the next boot. In addition, actions which install a new kernel cause a kernel rebuild to occur in the foreground. These are OS upgrades and any syspatch(8) fixes that touch the kernel.

My term "build" may be misleading. The OS creates a binary kernel from its many component object modules in a random order.
