`.rel.text`

Besides sh_type == SHT_RELA, there also exists SHT_REL, which would have section name .text.rel (not present in this object file).

Those represent the same struct, but without the addend, e.g.:

typedef struct {
    Elf64_Addr  r_offset;
    Elf64_Xword r_info;
} Elf64_Rela;

The ELF standard says that in many cases the both can be used, and it is just a matter of convenience.
