The change in PR19011 changed the image load address from being in the lower
32-bit address space to the higher 64-bit address space.
However when you have a weak undef symbol which stays undef at the end of
linking the linker has to resolve this (Windows loader does not support undef
symbols). As such typically these would resolve to 0.
The relocation used for these weak symbols are the normal 32-bit PC_REL call
relocs. So when doing the overflow check LD checks if the distance between the
symbol and the call is within range. However now that the load address is
> 32-bits and the symbol val is 0 this overflow check will always fail.
As such the linker gives a bogus error. This patch makes the linker not emit
the overflow failure but chooses to still let the check be performed (as it's
mid-end code).
One down side of this is that it does break the common convention that the call
be to sym at 0x0. i.e. before you'd get
401015: 74 05 je 40101c
401017: e8 e4 ef bf ff callq 0
and now you get
140001015: 74 05 je 14000101c
140001017: e8 e4 ef ff bf call 100000000
since the call is PC_REL there's no way to get the range large enough to
resolve to 0. As such I have chosen to leave it as the furthest simple range
that we can still represent.
By only ignoring the error we leave the symbol value itself to still be 0
such that the if(<symbol>) checks still work correctly.

The data object and function info sections (collectively "symtypetabs")
usually (i.e. if non-indexed) have sizes defined by the size of the ELF
dynamic symbol table in the object they are linked to. This means test
results should not depend on the exact sizes of these sections, because
adding entirely irrelevant symbols to the dynsym can cause spurious test
failures. (This also means we should not match the offset of sections
that follow them, since those too depend on the exact size of the
symtypetab sections.)
Spotted by turning the sanitizer on, which introduced new dynsym entries
and expanded the symtypetab sizes to match.

The previous commit started to error-check the lookup of
ctf_type_encoding for the underlying type that is internally done when
carrying out a ctf_type_encoding on a slice.
Unfortunately, enums have no encoding, so this has historically been
returning an error (which is ignored) and then populating the cte_format
with uninitialized data. Now the error is not ignored, this is
returning an error, which breaks linking of CTF containing bitfields of
enumerated type.
CTF format v3 does not record the actual underlying type of a enum, but
we can mock up something that is not *too* wrong, and that is at any
rate better than uninitialized data.

Add support for TLS in XCOFF. Amongst the things done by this commit:
- Update XCOFF auxialiary header to match new version and allow TLS
sections.
- Add TLS sections (.tdata and .tbss) support in gas and ld.
- Add support for the TLS relocations in gas and ld.
Two different types BFD_RELOC are created for PPC and PPC64 as
the size is a pointer, thus distinct in 32 or 64bit.
The addresses given by ld to .tdata and .tbss is a bit special. In
XCOFF, these addresses are actually offsets from the TLS pointer
computed at runtime. AIX assembly and linker does the same. In
top of that, the .tdata must be before .data (this is mandatory for AIX
loader). Thus, the aix ld script is recomputing "." before .data to restore
its original value. There might be a simpler way, but this one is working.
Optimisation linked to TLS relocations aren't yet implemented.

According to the commit abd20cb637, an
intersting thing is that - the more relax passes, the more chances of
relaxations are reduced [1]. Originally, we set the boolean `again`
to TRUE once the code is actually deleted, and then we run the relaxations
repeatedly if `again` is still TRUE. But `again` only works for the
relax pass itself, and won't affect others. That is - we can not use
`again` to re-run the relax pass when we already enter into the following
passes (can not run the relax passes backwards). Besides, we must seperate
the PCREL relaxations into two relax passes for some reasons [2], it make
us lose some relax opportunities.
This patch try to fix the problem, and the basic idea was come from Jim
Wilson - we use a new boolean, restart_relax, to determine if we need to
run the whole relax passes again from 0 to 2. Once we have deleted the
code between relax pass 0 to 2, the restart_relax will be set to TRUE,
we should run the whole relaxations again to give them more chances to
shorten the code. We will only enter into the relax pass 3 when the
restart_relax is FALSE, since we can't relax anything else once we start
to handle the alignments.
I have passed the gcc/binutils regressions by riscv-gnu-toolchain, and
looks fine for now.

The offset-within-section field in the symbol table entry is only 32
bits wide, so rather than emitting bogus entries omit them, and issue
a diagnostic identifying the issue.
This requires adjusting the PR/22267 test to no longer produce symbols
with out of range values on 64-bit BFD. This also depends on
adjustments to testsuite/ld-scripts/map-address.* made by an earlier
patch. The purpose of the test can very well be achieved nevertheless.
mcore-pe and sh-pe pointed out that the testcase added by 6fa7408d72
("ld: don't generate base relocations in PE output for absolute
symbols") wasn't quite generic enough yet. Copy entry point stuff from
another test and increase alignment to also cover targets with a page
size lower than 4k.
Despite all of this the test needs to be xfail-ed for mcore, as this
target isn't included in the set getting DLL_SUPPORT enabled in
emultempl/pe.em, and hence no base relocations get generated there
(yet).
In PE images section addresses get expressed as addresses relative to
the image base. Therefore the VA of a section must be no less than the
image base, and after subtraction of the image base the resulting value
should fit in 32 bits. (The issue is particularly obvious to notice when
sections, perhaps because of ELF assumptions, get placed at VA 0 by
default. Debugging info sections as well as .comment, when input files
are ELF, are a good example. All such sections need proper mentioning in
the linker script to avoid this warning.)
There are a number of test cases which previously produced bogus images,
yet still declared the test a success. Like done for other tests
already, force a zero image base for these. This then also allows (and
requires) dropping again xfail-s which 39a7b38fac ("Fix linker tests
to work with 16-bit targets") had added to ld-scripts/default-script*.d
(originally as skip-s). This also depends on similar adjustments to
testsuite/ld-scripts/map-address.* made by an earlier patch.
For ld-scripts/print-memory-usage.* I suppose xcoff could be dropped
from the exclusion list by suppressing garbage collection, just like
already done in e.g. (as seen in the diff here) ld-scripts/data.*, but I
didn't want to make unrelated adjustments.
When linking Windows x86-64 relocatable object files to generate x86-64
ELF executable, we need to subtract __ImageBase, aka __executable_start,
for R_AMD64_IMAGEBASE relocation:
1. Add link_info to struct output_elf_obj_tdata to store linker info and
_bfd_get_link_info() to retrieve it.
2. Add ldelf_set_output_arch to set up link_info.
3. Add pex64_link_add_symbols to create an indirect reference to
__executable_start for __ImageBase to support R_AMD64_IMAGEBASE relocation
when adding symbols from Windows x86-64 relocatable object files to
generate x86-64 ELF executable.
4. Also subtract __ImageBase for R_AMD64_IMAGEBASE when generating x86-64
ELF executable.

Without setting an image base address and without naming at least .text,
this test produces entirely bogus PE output. To be honest, even the ELF
output looks odd: .text gets placed at 0x10204, and both foo and bar get
associated with .text despite living below its start address.
Since neither image base nor .text placement are the subject of this
test, specify .text placement explicitly and in the PE case force the
image base to zero.
It is the very nature of absolute symbols that they don't change even
if the loader decides to put the image at other than its link-time base
address. Of the linker-defined (and PE-specific) symbols __image_base__
(and its alias) needs special casing, as it'll still appear to be
absolute at this point.
A new inquiry function in ldexp.c is needed because PE base relocations
get generated before ldexp_finalize_syms() runs, yet whether a
relocation is needed depends on the ultimate property of a symbol.
The testcases added here show situations where synthesized start/stop
symbols don't cause their associated input sections to be marked.
Fixed with the elflink.c and ldlang.c changes.

When building 32-bit binutils with CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" we can

"unresolved" as a test result means runtest returns an error, which
can be confusing when there is no apparent error unless you look in
.log files. In particular many tests are skipped without reporting an
error if no target C compiler is found, but if a target C compiler is
found but won't compile a testcase for some reason we used to mark the
test as unresolved. Which is no more worthy of an error than when
lacking a C compiler entirely.

GCC 11+ spots that the extern var_1 and var_666 declarations in this
test are unused, and removes them, thus stopping them from appearing as
conflicted data symbols and rendering the test pointless. Use them in a
function unique to this TU to prevent them from being eliminated.

The sizes of compressed and uncompressed .debug_aranges are the same
for the riscv big endian targets, but different for the little endian
targets. The compress rule is fine and isn't broken by riscv, just the
original compressed1d.d fails by accident. Ideally, we should fill the
R_RISCV_ADD/SUB relocations when disabling relaxations in the assembler.
But before that, Jim already had written an alternative test compressed1d-alt
to relpace compressed1d.d for riscv, so we can only xfail the riscv little
endian targets in the short-term.
ld/
* testsuite/ld-elf/elf.exp (riscv_little_endian): Added. Return true
if target is riscv little endian. Otherwise, return false.
* testsuite/ld-elf/compressed1d.d: Only xfail the riscv little endian
targets by [riscv_little_endian].
This changes the initialisation of output sections so that it is
possible to create read-only sections fed only from linker script
BYTE, SHORT, LONG or QUAD. That currently isn't possible even for one
of the well-known ELF sections like .rodata, because once a section is
marked read/write that sticks. On the other hand if we start
read-only, well-known ELF sections end up read/write as appropriate.
For example .tdata will still be SHF_ALLOC + SHF_WRITE + SHF_TLS.

When deciding if a single member comdat group section in file FOO should
be discarded by a linkonce section in file BAR, we check if 2 sections
define the same set of local and global symbols. When only one of the
files doesn't contain the unused section symbols in the symbol table,
such as object files generated by clang or GNU assembler with

On x86, glibc 2.33 starts to issue a fatal error message when calling
IFUNC function defined in the unrelocated executable from a shared
library.
1. Update x86 ELF linker to always convert IFUNC function defined in
position-dependent executable (PDE) to the normal function. GOT in PDE
will be updated by R_*_IRELATIVE at run-time.
2. Update PR ld/23169 tests not to compare function address of external
IFUNC function in the shared object to avoid calling the IFUNC function
defined in the unrelocated executable.
