Support ELF SHF_GNU_MBIND and PT_GNU_MBIND_XXX
Mark an ALLOC section, which should be placed in special memory area,
with SHF_GNU_MBIND. Its sh_info field indicates the special memory
type. GNU_MBIND section names start with ".mbind" so that they are
placed as orphan sections by linker. All input GNU_MBIND sections
with the same sh_type, sh_flags and sh_info are placed in one output
GNU_MBIND section. In executable and shared object, create a
GNU_MBIND segment for each GNU_MBIND section and its segment type is
PT_GNU_MBIND_LO plus the sh_info value. Each GNU_MBIND segment is
aligned at page boundary.
The assembler syntax:
.section .mbind.foo,"adx",%progbits
^ 0: Special memory type.
|
'd' for SHF_GNU_MBIND.
.section .mbind.foo,"adx",%progbits,0x1
^ 1: Special memory type.
|
'd' for SHF_GNU_MBIND.
.section .mbind.bar,"adG",%progbits,.foo_group,comdat,0x2
^ 2: Special memory type.
|
'd' for SHF_GNU_MBIND.

ld: better handling of lma region for orphan sections
When picking an lma_region for an orphan section we currently create a
new lang_output_section_statement_type and then populate this with the
orphan section.
The problem is that the lang_output_section_statement_type has a prev
pointer that links back to the previous output section. For non-orphan
output sections, that are created in linker script order, the prev
pointer will point to the output section that appears previous in linker
script order, as you'd probably expect.
The problem is that orphan sections are placed after processing the
linker script, and so, in the case of an output section created for an
orphan input section, the prev pointer actually points to the last
output section created.
This causes some unexpected behaviour when the orphan section is not
placed after the last non-orphan section that was created.
For example, consider this linker script:
MEMORY {
TEXT : ORIGIN = 0x200, LENGTH = 0x10
RODATA : ORIGIN = 0x400, LENGTH = 0x10
}
SECTIONS {
.text : {*(.text) } AT>TEXT
.data : AT(0x300) { *(.data) }
.rodata : { *(.rodata) } AT>RODATA
}
If we are processing an orphan section '.data.1' and decide to place
this after '.data', then the output section created will have a prev
pointer that references the '.rodata' output section. The result of
this is that '.data.1' will actually be assigned to the RODATA lma
region, which is probably not the expected behaviour.
The reason why '.data.1' is placed into the lma region of the '.rodata'
section is that lma region propagation is done at the time we create the
output section, based on the previous output section pointer, which is
really just a last-output-section-created pointer at that point in time,
though the prev point is fixed up later to reflect the true order of the
output sections.
The solution I propose in this commit is to move the propagation of lma
regions into a separate pass of the linker, rather than performing this
as part of the enter/exit of output sections during linker script
parsing.
During this later phase we have all of the output sections to hand, and
the prev/next points have been fixed up by this point to reflect the
actual placement ordering.
There's a new test to cover this issue that passes on a range of
targets, however, some targets generate additional sections, or have
stricter memory region size requirements that make it harder to come
up with a generic pass pattern, that still tests the required
features. For now I've set the test to ignore these targets.

logic to...

ld: Track changes to default region LMA even for empty sections
Given a linker script fragment like this:
SECTIONS {
. = 0x1000;
.text : AT(0x100) { *(.text) }
.data : AT(0x200) { *(.data) }
.rodata : AT(0x300) { *(.rodata) }
}
and an input file containing sections, '.text', '.data.1', and
'.rodata', then we'd expect the linker to place '.text' and '.rodata' in
the obvious way, and the '.data.1' orphan section would be located after
the '.data' section (assuming similar section properties).
Further, I believe that the expectation would be that the LMA for the
orphan '.data.1' section would start from 0x200 (as there is no '.data'
content).
However, right now, the LMA for '.data.1' would be 0x101, following on
from the '.text' section, this is because the change in LMA for the
'.data' section is not noticed by the linker, if there's no content in
the '.data' section.
What can be even more confusing to a user (though the cause is obvious
once you understand what's going on) is that adding some content to
'.data' will cause the orphan '.data.1' to switch to an LMA based off of
0x200.
This commit changes the behaviour so that an empty section that is in
the default lma region, and sets its lma, will adjust the lma of the
default region, this change will then be reflected in following sections
within the default lma memory region.
There's a new test to cover this issue that passes on a range of
targets, however, some targets generate additional sections, or have
stricter memory region size requirements that make it harder to come
up with a generic pass pattern, that still tests the required
features. For now I've set the test to ignore these targets.

ld: Allow section groups to be resolved as part of a relocatable link
This commit adds a new linker feature: the ability to resolve section
groups as part of a relocatable link.
Currently section groups are automatically resolved when performing a
final link, and are carried through when performing a relocatable link.
By carried through this means that one copy of each section group (from
all the copies that might be found in all the input files) is placed
into the output file. Sections that are part of a section group will
not match input section specifiers within a linker script and are
forcibly kept as separate sections.
There is a slight resemblance between section groups and common
section. Like section groups, common sections are carried through when
performing a relocatable link, and resolved (allocated actual space)
only at final link time.
However, with common sections there is an ability to force the linker to
allocate space for the common sections when performing a relocatable
link, there's currently no such ability for section groups.
This commit adds such a mechanism. This new facility can be accessed in
two ways, first there's a command line switch --force-group-allocation,
second, there's a new linker script command FORCE_GROUP_ALLOCATION. If
one of these is used when performing a relocatable link then the linker
will resolve the section groups as though it were performing a final
link, the section group will be deleted, and the members of the group
will be placed like normal input sections. If there are multiple copies
of the group (from multiple input files) then only one copy of the group
members will be placed, the duplicate copies will be discarded.
Unlike common sections that have the --no-define-common command line
flag, and INHIBIT_COMMON_ALLOCATION linker script command there is no
way to prevent group resolution during a final link, this is because the
ELF gABI specifically prohibits the presence of SHT_GROUP sections in a
fully linked executable. However, the code as written should make
adding such a feature trivial, setting the new resolve_section_groups
flag to false during a final link should work as you'd expect.

* elf.c (_bfd_elf_make_section_from_shdr): Don't initially mark
SEC_GROUP sections as SEC_EXCLUDE.
(bfd_elf_set_group_contents): Replace use of abort with an assert.

Properly implement STT_COMMON
The BFD configure option, --enable-elf-stt-common, can't be to used to
verify STT_COMMON implementation with the normal binutils build. Instead,
this patch removes it from BFD. It adds --elf-stt-common=[no|yes] to ELF
assembler/objcopy and adds -z common/-z nocommon to ld.
A configure option, --enable-elf-stt-common, is added to gas to specify
whether ELF assembler should generate common symbols with the STT_COMMON
type by default.
Since BSF_KEEP_G is never used, it is renamed to BSF_ELF_COMMON for ELF
common symbols.

ld: Extend options for altering orphan handling behaviour.
Replace the options --warn-orphan and --no-warn-orphan with a single
option --orphan-handling=MODE, where mode can be place, warn, error, and
discard.
Mode 'place' is the default, and is the current behaviour, placing the
orphan section into a suitable output section.
Mode 'warn' is the same as '--warn-orphan'. The orphan is also placed
using the same algorithm as for 'place'.
Mode 'error' is the same as '--warn-orphan' and '--fatal-warnings'.
Mode 'discard' assigns all output sections to the /DISCARD/ section.
ld/ChangeLog:
* ld.h (enum orphan_handling_enum): New.
(ld_config_type): Remove warn_orphan, add orphan_handling.
* ldemul.c (ldemul_place_orphan): Remove warning about orphan
sections.
* ldlang.c (ldlang_place_orphan): New function.
(lang_place_orphans): Call ldlang_place_orphan.
* ldlex.h (enum option_values): Remove OPTION_WARN_ORPHAN and
OPTION_NO_WARN_ORPHAN, add OPTION_ORPHAN_HANDLING.
* lexsup.c (ld_options): Remove 'warn-orphan' and
'no-warn-orphan', add 'orphan-handling'.
(parse_args): Remove handling for OPTION_WARN_ORPHAN and
OPTION_NO_WARN_ORPHAN, add handling for OPTION_ORPHAN_HANDLING.
* NEWS: Replace text about --warn-orphan with --orphan-handling.
* ld.texinfo (Options): Remove --warn-orphan entry and add
entry on --orphan-handling.
(Orphan Sections): Add reference to relevant command line options.
ld/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* ld-elf/elf.exp: Switch to rely on run_dump_test.

|
|
|
the current behaviour, 'warn' and 'error' issue a warning or error
|
|
|
|
|
|
respectively when orphan sections are found, and 'discard' will discard all
|
|
|

|

orphan sections.

|
|
|
|
|
2010-08-25 18:03:58 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Linker script expression evaluation is somewhat more sane. This may
|
|
|
|
|
|
break scripts that depend on quirks of the old expression evaluation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-04-28 17:24:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Turn off underscoring for x86_64 PE+-COFF targets. For old behavior the
|
|
|
|
|
|
option --enable-leading-mingw64-underscores can be used on configure of
|

2010-03-25 22:12:36 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* Add support for the TMS320C6000 (TI C6X) processor family.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-11-05 16:35:50 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* --add-needed renamed to --copy-dt-needed-entries in order to avoid confusion
|
|
|
|
|
|
with --as-needed option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-10-23 13:40:17 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Extend .def file syntax by '== <ID>' for imports and exports. This allows
|
|
|
|
|
|
to alias the import/export table name written in PE image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2011-11-02 17:28:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* Add --exclude-all-symbols option to PE based linkers. This prevents all
|
2009-10-16 17:15:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
symbols from automatically being exported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-09-29 16:17:19 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Add support for the Renesas RX processor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-09-09 12:46:33 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Add support for alpha-vms target.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-09-04 10:23:49 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Changes in 2.20:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-07-23 15:00:30 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* GNU/Linux targets now support the STB_GNU_UNIQUE symbol binding. This is a
|
|
|
|
|
|
GNU extension to the standard set of ELF symbol bindings. The binding will
|
|
|
|
|
|
be passed on to the dynamic linker which will make sure that in the entire
|
|
|
|
|
|
process there is just one symbol with the given name and type in use.
|
2009-01-08 14:28:48 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
2009-05-19 18:08:08 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* PE targets now support a GNU extension to allow the alignment of common
|
|
|
|
|
|
common symbols to be specified. This support uses custom options in
|
|
|
|
|
|
the .drectve section, which will be disregarded by the native tools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-05-04 14:09:30 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* PE targets now add primitive support for ELF version scripts; symbols
|
|
|
|
|
|
are not versioned, but the local and global symbol visibility directives
|
|
|
|
|
|
are respected when filtering symbols in auto-export mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-04-29 19:24:27 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* New option --no-export-dynamic to undo the effect of the -E and
|
|
|
|
|
|
--export-dynamic options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-04-08 18:04:50 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* ELF: --warn-alternate-em option to warn if an object has alternate
|
|
|
|
|
|
ELF machine code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-03-02 18:27:36 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* New script function REGION_ALIAS to add alias names to memory regions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-02-18 19:23:08 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* PE targets no longer make use of the long section names PE extension to
|
|
|
|
|
|
the COFF format when generating executable images, by default. The old
|
|
|
|
|
|
(slightly non-conformant) behaviour can still be invoked by using the
|
2009-03-03 19:22:11 +01:00
|
|
|
|
new '--enable-long-section-names' command-line option. It is also enabled
|
|
|
|
|
|
automatically in the presence of un-stripped debug information, as GDB
|
|
|
|
|
|
needs to be able to find the debug info sections by their full names.
|
2009-02-18 19:23:08 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
2009-04-30 17:47:13 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* For GNU/Linux systems the linker will now avoid processing any relocations
|
|
|
|
|
|
made against symbols of the STT_GNU_IFUNC type and instead emit them into
|
|
|
|
|
|
the resulting binary for processing by the loader.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-02-03 16:56:59 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* --as-needed now links in a dynamic library if it satisfies undefined
|
|
|
|
|
|
symbols in regular objects, or in other dynamic libraries. In the
|
|
|
|
|
|
latter case the library is not linked if it is found in a DT_NEEDED
|
|
|
|
|
|
entry of one of the libraries already linked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-01-16 15:14:07 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* Add a new command line option, -Ttext-segment ADDR, for ELF targets
|
|
|
|
|
|
to set the address of the first byte of the text segment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-03-02 11:33:08 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* Add support for Sunplus score architecture.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-01-08 14:28:48 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* Add new option --use-nul-prefixed-import-tables to ld for PE targets to
|
|
|
|
|
|
allow fallback to old import table generation with null element prefix.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-01-03 19:04:16 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* Windows PE systems now support a new --exclude-modules-for-implib option,
|
|
|
|
|
|
allowing users to partition object files and archive members between a DLL
|
|
|
|
|
|
and its associated import library as they are generated during linking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-12-23 20:10:25 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* Add support for Lattice Mico32 (lm32) architecture.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-06-22 18:52:33 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Add CR16 ELF --embedded-relocs (used to embedded relocations into binaries
|
2008-11-27 13:41:14 +01:00
|
|
|
|
for Embedded-PIC code) option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-11-14 16:13:05 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* Add to the PE/PE+ targets the support of two different kinds of
|
|
|
|
|
|
pseudo-relocations. They can be selected by the switches
|
|
|
|
|
|
--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc-v1 and --enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc-v2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the switch --enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc it uses for 32-bit
|
|
|
|
|
|
runtime pseudo relocation version one, for 64-bit the version two.
|
|
|

Changes in 2.19:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-09-07 06:02:31 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Linker scripts support a new INSERT command that makes it easier to
|
|
|
|
|
|
augment the default script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-06-07 13:35:46 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Linker script input section filespecs may now specify a file within an
|
2008-09-07 06:02:31 +02:00
|
|
|
|
archive by writing "archive:file".
|
2008-06-07 13:35:46 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
2008-05-31 18:35:56 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* The --sort-common switch now has an optional argument which specifies the
|
|
|
|
|
|
direction of sorting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multi-GOT support for m68k.

|
|
|
|
|
2008-09-07 06:02:31 +02:00
|
|

|
|
|
|
* Linker sources now released under version 3 of the GNU General Public
|
|
|
|
|
|
License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-07-09 23:25:34 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* ELF: New --build-id option to generate a unique per-binary identifier
|
|
|
|
|
|
embedded in a note section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-06-29 16:09:34 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Added support for National Semicondutor CompactRISC (ie CR16) target.
|
2007-06-29 20:44:09 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
2007-03-29 19:16:05 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* -l:foo now searches the library path for a filename called foo,
|
|
|
|
|
|
without converting it to libfoo.a or libfoo.so.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-01-19 15:51:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* Add a new command line option '--default-script=FILE' or '-dT FILE'
|
|
|
|
|
|
which specifies a replacement for the built in, default linker
|
|
|
|
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-01-16 15:56:32 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* ELF: Add -Bsymbolic-functions, --dynamic-list-cpp-new, which puts C++
|
|
|
|
|
|
operator new and delete on the dynamic list, and --dynamic-list-data,
|
|
|
|
|
|
builtin list for --dynamic-list, which puts global data symbols on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
dynamic list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-09-20 13:35:11 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Add support for x86_64 PE+ target.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-09-17 01:51:50 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Add support for Score target.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-09-07 19:16:34 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* ELF: Add --dynamic-list option to specify a list of global symbols
|
|
|
|
|
|
whose references shouldn't be bound to the definition within the
|
|
|
|
|
|
shared library, or a list of symbols which should be added to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
symbol table in the executable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-08-22 09:41:05 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* The default output section LMA has changed for allocatable sections from
|
|
|
|
|
|
being equal to VMA, to keeping the difference between LMA and VMA the same as
|
|
|
|
|
|
the previous output section in the same region. This is a more useful
|
|
|
|
|
|
default when using overlays and other cases where you specify an LMA
|
|
|
|
|
|
differing from the VMA for some sections.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-08-04 16:53:26 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* New switch: --print-gc-sections to list any sections removed by garabge
|
|
|
|
|
|
collection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-01-29 17:28:40 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* ARM: Added --vfp11-denorm-fix option to work around an erratum in current
|
2007-07-06 16:09:45 +02:00
|
|
|
|
VFP11 coprocessors.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-04-05 17:40:40 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Modify the Linux linker search order to better match ld.so search order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Look for DT_NEEDED libraries in paths specified by ld.so.conf before
|
|
|
|
|
|
searching the default directories, rather than vice versa.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use $prefix/etc/ld.so.conf if it exists, otherwise /etc/ld.so.conf.
|
2006-02-09 02:05:10 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
2006-01-31 23:13:41 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* PE-COFF: Forward exports from DLL's can now be specified in .def files
|
|
|
|
|
|
passed directly to ld.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-10-25 19:40:19 +02:00
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-10-13 02:57:43 +02:00

|
|
|
|
|
|
switches can be read from <file>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-01-21 13:04:25 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* New linker script construct AS_NEEDED(), which sets the --as-needed flag
|
|
|
|
|
|
for input files listed inside of it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-01-19 12:42:49 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* A new command-line option, --sysroot, can be used to override the
|
|
|
|
|
|
default sysroot location. It only applies to toolchains that were
|
|
|
|
|
|
configured using --with-sysroot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-11-19 10:31:55 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* New linker script functions: ORIGIN() and LENGTH() which return information
|
|
|
|
|
|
about a specified memory region.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-11-08 14:17:43 +01:00

|
override the base address for a segment from the command-line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-10-07 16:45:24 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* ELF: --warn-shared-textrel option to warn if adding a DT_TEXTREL to a shared
|
|
|
|
|
|
object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-10-04 18:45:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Added SORT_BY_NAME and SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT to the linker script
|
|
|
|
|
|
language to permit sorting sections by section name or section
|
|
|
|
|
|
maximum alignment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added a new linker command line switch, --sort-section name|alignment,
|
|
|
|
|
|
to sort sections by section name or maximum alignment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-10-07 16:45:24 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* ELF: --add-needed/--no-add-needed options to control if a DT_NEEDED tag
|
|
|
|
|
|
should be added when a shared library comes from DT_NEEDED tags.
|
2004-07-19 21:14:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
2004-07-07 19:28:53 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Support for the crx-elf target added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-07-09 14:32:35 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Support for the sh-symbianelf target added.
|
2004-07-07 19:28:53 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
2004-05-21 17:38:04 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* A new linker command line switch has been added which allows the hash table
|
|
|
|
|
|
size to be set to a suitable prime value near to its argument. This switch
|
|
|
|
|
|
is --hash-size=<NUMBER>. Also if the switch --reduce-memory-overheads is
|
|
|
|
|
|
used, and --hash-size has not been used, then the default value will be set
|
|
|
|
|
|
to 1021.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-05-19 16:15:55 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Linker map files are now generated with an O(N) algorithm for finding symbols
|
|
|
|
|
|
that are defined in each section. This uses about 40% more memory for
|
|
|
|
|
|
symbols than the old O(N^2) algorithm. You can use the new
|
|
|
|
|
|
--reduce-memory-overheads option to select the old algorithm; this option
|
|
|
|
|
|
might also be used in the future to select similar tradeoffs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-05-21 17:38:04 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Changes in 2.15:
|

|
|
|
|
|
2004-10-07 16:45:24 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* ELF: --as-needed/--no-as-needed options to control if a DT_NEEDED tag should
|
|
|
|
|
|
be added only when a shared library is referenced.
|
2007-07-09 23:25:34 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
2004-10-07 16:45:24 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* PE: --large-address-aware option to indicate executables support virtual
|
2004-05-07 17:17:58 +02:00
|
|
|
|
addresses greater than 2 gigabytes.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-04-21 12:04:02 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* The linker script operator DEFINED() will now yield 1 only for a symbol that
|
|
|
|
|
|
is defined before the statement where DEFINED is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-04-21 02:44:36 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* The MIPS --embedded-relocs (used to embed relocations into binaries for
|
|
|
|
|
|
Embedded-PIC code) is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-03-30 16:04:32 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* cr16c support added by NSC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-12-19 12:44:01 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* m32r Linux (ELF) support added by Renesas.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-08-20 10:37:19 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Improved linker's handling of unresolved symbols. The switch
|
|
|
|
|
|
--unresolved-symbols=<method> has been added to tell the linker when it
|
|
|
|
|
|
should report them and the switch --warn-unresolved-symbols has been added to
|
|
|
|
|
|
make reports be issued as warning messages rather than errors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-09-30 18:44:04 +02:00
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
linking against a target filesystem image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-12-23 11:45:03 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* Added --accept-unknown-linker-format to restore old linker behaviour (pre
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.14) of silently accepting and linking in any files in an unknown binary
|
|
|
|
|
|
file format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-10-23 15:24:10 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Added --no-omagic to undo the effects of the -N option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-09-11 16:42:45 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Support for Texas Instruments TMS320C4x and TMS320C3x series of
|
|
|
|
|
|
DSP's contributed by Michael Hayes and Svein E. Seldal.
|
2007-07-09 23:25:34 +02:00

|
|
|
|
2002-08-23 10:03:32 +02:00

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-10-03 17:11:48 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Support for -z nocopyreloc in the x86 ELF linker, which disables
|
|
|
|
|
|
production of copy relocs. Warning: using this option may result in
|
|
|
|
|
|
non-sharable applications.
|
2000-09-06 02:13:34 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
2001-08-23 17:14:18 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Support for -z combreloc in the ELF linker, which puts dynamic
|
|
|
|
|
|
relocations against the same symbol together, so that dynamic linker
|
|
|
|
|
|
can use an one-entry symbol lookup cache.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for ELF SHF_MERGE section merging, by Jakub Jelinek.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-02-20 11:46:54 +01:00
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 2.11:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-12-11 14:49:46 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* Support for AMD x86-64 architecture, by Jan Hubicka, SuSE Labs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-09-02 23:35:47 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Support added for eliminating duplicate DWARF2 debug information by
|
|
|
|
|
|
having the compiler generate the information in sections called
|
|
|
|
|
|
.gnu.linkonce.wi.XXXX where XXXX is a checksum for the contents. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
linker then merges these sections together into the normal .debug_info
|
|
|
|
|
|
section.
|
1999-05-03 09:29:11 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
2000-08-22 21:34:37 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* The native ELF linker now searches the directories in DT_RUNPATH or
|
|
|
|
|
|
DT_RPATH of a shared library for shared libraries needed by it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-06-20 15:31:59 +02:00

|
* Added command line switch --section-start to set the start address of any
|
2007-07-09 23:25:34 +02:00
|
|
|
|
specified section.
|
2000-05-22 23:58:40 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
2000-05-17 21:38:53 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Added ability to emit full relocation information in linked executables,
|
|
|
|
|
|
enabled by --emit-relocs. Some post-linkage optimization tools need
|
|
|
|
|
|
this information in order to be able to correctly identify and perform
|
|
|
|
|
|
symbol relative addressing in the event of changes in section contents
|
|
|
|
|
|
(instructions being added or deleted, extending data sections, etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-08-14 20:50:13 +02:00
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-07-31 11:59:03 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Support for PDP-11 and 2.11BSD a.out format, by Lars Brinkhoff.
|
|
|
|

Changes in version 2.10:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-07-09 23:25:34 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Added AT> to the linker script language to allow load-time allocation of
|
2000-04-07 19:04:19 +02:00
|
|
|
|
sections into regions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007-07-09 23:25:34 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Added garbage collection of unused sections, enabled by --gc-sections.
|
1999-05-03 09:29:11 +02:00
|
|
|
|
It does require a bit of backend support; currently implemented are
|
2000-06-24 06:48:41 +02:00
|
|
|
|
arm-elf, avr-elf, d10v-elf, fr30-elf, i386-elf, m32r-elf, m68k-elf,
|
|
|
|
|
|
mcore-elf, mips-elf, mn10300-elf, ppc-elf, sh-elf, sparc-elf, and v850-elf.
|
2000-06-19 04:05:53 +02:00
|
|
|
|
Others will ignore the option.
|
1999-05-03 09:29:11 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added SORT to the linker script language to permit sorting sections by file
|
|
|
|
|
|
name or section name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added EXTERN to the linker script language as an equivalent to the -u
|
|
|
|
|
|
command-line option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added ASSERT to the linker script language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999-06-13 12:20:50 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Added EXCLUDE_FILE to the linker script language for further control over
|
|
|
|
|
|
wildcard file names.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999-05-03 09:29:11 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Added -O option to optimize linker output (as of this writing, this only
|
2002-07-31 11:59:03 +02:00
|
|
|
|
affects ELF shared library generation).
|
1999-05-03 09:29:11 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The -e option now accepts a number as well as a symbol name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999-06-13 21:25:57 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Added --no-undefined option to disallow undefined symbols when creating a
|
|
|
|
|
|
shared library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-03-02 02:26:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
* The linker now issues a warning, not an error, for an undefined symbol when
|
|
|
|
|
|
using -Bsymbolic; use the new --no-undefined option to get the old
|
|
|
|
|
|
behaviour.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1999-05-03 09:29:11 +02:00
|
|
|
|
* Added --demangle and --no-demangle options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 2.9:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added SQUAD to the linker script language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New option --no-warn-mismatch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The MEMORY command now parses the attributes to determine where sections that
|
|
|
|
|
|
are not placed in a specific memory region are placed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 2.8:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Linker scripts may now contain shell wildcard characters for file and section
|
|
|
|
|
|
names.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The linker now supports symbol versions in ELF.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The NOCROSSREFS command was added to the linker script language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The LOADADDR expression was added to the linker script language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* MAX and MIN functions were added to the linker script language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The OVERLAY construct was added to the linker script language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New option --warn-section-align to warn when the address of an output section
|
|
|
|
|
|
changes due to alignment of an input section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New options --filter/-F and --auxiliary/-f.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 2.7:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New option --cref to print out a cross reference table.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New option --wrap SYMBOL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New option --no-whole-archive, to turn off the effect of --whole-archive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Input sections assigned to the output section /DISCARD/ in the linker script
|
|
|
|
|
|
are not included in the output file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The SunOS and ELF linkers now merge stabs debugging information which uses
|
|
|
|
|
|
the N_BINCL and N_EINCL stab types. This reduces the amount of debugging
|
|
|
|
|
|
information generated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 2.6:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When an ELF section name is representable as a C identifier (this is not true
|
2008-05-21 14:16:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
of most ELF section names), the linker will automatically define symbols
|
|
|
|
|
|
__start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME, where SECNAME is the section name, at the
|
|
|
|
|
|
beginning and the end of the section. This is used by glibc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Addendum: Current versions of the linker (at least for version 2.18 onwards
|
|
|
|
|
|
and possibly much earlier as well) place two restrictions on this feature: The
|
|
|
|
|
|
symbols are only implemented for orphaned sections, not for explicitly placed
|
|
|
|
|
|
sections and they are PROVIDEd rather than being defined.
|
1999-05-03 09:29:11 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When an ELF section named .gnu.warning is encountered in an input file, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
contents of the section are displayed as an error message, and the section is
|
|
|
|
|
|
not copied into the output file. This is used by glibc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When an ELF section named .gnu.warning.SYMBOL is encountered in an input
|
|
|
|
|
|
file, and the symbol SYMBOL is referenced by some object file, the contents of
|
|
|
|
|
|
the section are displayed as an error message. The section is not copied into
|
2003-06-25 08:40:27 +02:00
|
|
|
|
the output file, unless doing a relocatable or shared link. This is used by
|
1999-05-03 09:29:11 +02:00
|
|
|
|
glibc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New options -split-by-reloc and -split-by-file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The linker now supports linking PIC compiled code on SPARC SunOS. It can
|
|
|
|
|
|
also create SPARC SunOS shared libraries, and, like the native SunOS linker,
|
|
|
|
|
|
will do so whenever there is an undefined symbol in the link and neither the -e
|
|
|
|
|
|
nor the -r option was used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The -rpath option may be used on SunOS to set the list of directories to be
|
|
|
|
|
|
searched at run time. This overrides the default of building the list from the
|
|
|
|
|
|
-L options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The COFF linker now combines debugging information for structs, unions, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
enums, so that even if the same type is defined in multiple input files it will
|
|
|
|
|
|
only be defined once in the output file. The --traditional-format switch will
|
|
|
|
|
|
prevent this optimization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 2.5:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The linker now supports linking against SunOS shared libraries. It still can
|
|
|
|
|
|
not link SunOS PIC (Position Independent Code) files, so it can not be used to
|
2003-10-25 18:26:30 +02:00
|
|
|
|
generate shared libraries.
|
1999-05-03 09:29:11 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The linker now supports linking against ELF shared libraries for the i386
|
|
|
|
|
|
(UnixWare) and SPARC (Solaris). It can also link ELF PIC files, and can be
|
|
|
|
|
|
used to generate shared libraries. Shared library generation is not well
|
|
|
|
|
|
tested; please report any problems encountered. The linker is now enabled for
|
|
|
|
|
|
Solaris again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Eric Youngdale has contributed Linux support code, including linking against
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux a.out shared libraries. The linker produces Linux QMAGIC binaries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The ELF backend has been converted to the new linker code. To use the new
|
|
|
|
|
|
ELF linker, each particular target requires a relocation function. So far,
|
|
|
|
|
|
this function has been written for i386 (UnixWare), SPARC (Solaris) MIPS (Irix
|
|
|
|
|
|
5), and HPPA ELF targets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The -( (--start-group) and -) (--end-group) options have been added to
|
|
|
|
|
|
support searching a group of archives as though they were a single archive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This can also be used in a linker script, as GROUP ( files ).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When a file is named on the command line, and the linker does not recognize
|
|
|
|
|
|
it as an object file, the linker will now treat the file as a linker script
|
|
|
|
|
|
file. A linker script named in this way augments, but does not replace, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
default linker script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The -warn-once option was added. It causes the linker to only warn once per
|
|
|
|
|
|
undefined symbol, rather than once per reference.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The COFF backend has been converted to the new linker code. As with ELF, to
|
|
|
|
|
|
use the new linker, each particular target requires a relocation function. So
|
|
|
|
|
|
far, this function has been written for the i386, m68k, a29k and SH targets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The -V flag was made a synonym for -v, for SVR4 compatibility. The old -V
|
|
|
|
|
|
behaviour is available via --verbose.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 2.4:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New linker code, by Steve Chamberlain and Ian Taylor. For a.out and ecoff
|
|
|
|
|
|
formats (so far), this should result in considerable savings in time
|
|
|
|
|
|
and memory used while linking; slightly poorer performance than
|
|
|
|
|
|
before for formats not converted yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Command-line parsing is no longer done with flex. This means
|
|
|
|
|
|
oddball characters in filenames won't get treated as argument
|
|
|
|
|
|
separators.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* HP-PA ELF support, by Jeff Law. (No SOM support yet.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Mach i386 support, by David Mackenzie.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Irix 4 shared libraries are now supported (Irix 5 uses ELF, and ELF shared
|
|
|
|
|
|
libraries are not yet supported).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* COFF shared libraries (as on SCO) should work as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The linker is disabled for Solaris. (Actually, it was in 2.3 also, I just
|
|
|
|
|
|
forgot to note it.) Some of their C library routines don't work when
|
|
|
|
|
|
statically linked, and the GNU linker doesn't support dynamic linking yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 2.3:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Weak symbols are now supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ELF support has been added. The linker has been bootstrapped on
|
|
|
|
|
|
UnixWare and Solaris.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Alpha OSF/1 support has been added (non dynamic linking only).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 2.2:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The `bfd' library has been updated to reduce a.out-format string
|
|
|
|
|
|
table size. The effect of this is that files linked from many input
|
|
|
|
|
|
files with duplicate symbols (`-g' debugging records, or identical
|
|
|
|
|
|
static symbols) should be much smaller.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changes in version 2.1:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The ld -ySYMBOL flag (to trace references to SYMBOL) is now implemented.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* There is now support for writing ECOFF files, so ld and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
other utilities should work on Risc/Ultrix and Irix.
