bfdI would like to fix instances of the following warning, when building
with clang with no special CFLAGS other than -g3 -O0.
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/bfd/elflink.c:5425:45: error: performing pointer arithmetic on a null pointer has undefined behavior [-Werror,-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic]
return (struct elf_link_hash_entry *) 0 - 1;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^
Replacing those with "(struct elf_link_hash_entry *) -1" gets rid of the
warning. I wanted to check that it didn't change the resulting code, so
I tried to build this:
$ cat test.c
int *before()
{
return (int *) 0 - 1;
}
int *after()
{
return (int *) - 1;
}
$ gcc -c test.c -g

This shows that the previous code doesn't actually return -1 as the

bugfix.

_bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms is called twice by the linker. The
first call in bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections is just to answer the
question as to whether there are there any dynamic symbols. The
second call in bfd_elf_size_dynsym_hash_dynstr sets the st_shndx value
that dynamic symbols will have. strip_excluded_output_sections is
called between these two calls. So sections seen on the first
_bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms pass might differ from those seen on
the second pass. Unfortunately, that can result in a stripped
section's dynamic symbol being assigned a dynindx on the first pass
but not corrected to the final value (of zero, ie. not dynamic) on the
second pass. PowerPC, x86, mips, and most other targets that emit
dynamic section symbols, just test that section symbol dynindx is
non-zero before using a given section symbol in dynamic relocations.
This patch prevents _bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms from setting any
section symbol dynindx on the first pass.

This patch processes linker script assignment statements before ld
opens DT_NEEDED libraries, in order to define symbols like __bss_start
that might also be defined by a library, falsely triggering an error
about "DSO missing from command line".
The initial value won't be correct when assigning a symbol from dot,
and I make no attempt to handle all expressions. For example, an
assignment like "_start_foo = ADDR (.foo)" isn't valid until sections
are laid out, so won't define _start_foo early. What's here should be
enough for most common scripts, and hopefully won't perturb fragile
scripts.

This makes the elf_link_hash_entry weakdef field, currently used to
point from a weak symbol to a strong alias, a circular list so that
all aliases can be found from any of them. A new flag, is_weakalias,
distinguishes the weak symbol from a strong alias, and is used in all
places where we currently test u.weakdef != NULL.
With the original u.weakdef handling it was possible to have two or
more weak symbols pointing via u.weakdef to a strong definition.
Obviously that situation can't map to a circular list; One or more of
the weak symbols must point at another weak alias rather than the
strong definition. To handle that, I've added an accessor function to
return the strong definition.

I noticed when looking at pr22300 that before calling check_relocs we
have an elf_object_id test (added for pr11933) as well as the
relocs_compatible test. I believe backend gc_mark_hook and
gc_sweep_hook ought to be protected similarly from being confused by
unexpected relocations (for example, both elf64-ppc.c and elf32-ppc.c
use _bfd_elf_relocs_compatible, so I think it would be possible for
the ppc64 gc_mark_hook to be presented with a ppc32 relocatable
object).
* elflink.c (elf_gc_sweep): Test elf_object_id in addition to
relocs_compatible.
(bfd_elf_gc_sections): Likewise.
polyml produces object files with the wrong OS/ABI for hppa-linux.
This, along with the fact that elf32-hppa.c is using the strictest
backend relocs_compatible, results in wrong merging of ELF symbols.
So, remove the relocs_compatible check in _bfd_elf_merge_symbol.
_bfd_elf_merge_symbol is only called nowadays from within blocks
protected by is_elf_hash_table, so "we are doing an ELF link" as the
removed comment says, is true.
Also relax relocs_compatible for hppa and powerpc. relocs_compatible
is used for more than just merging symbols, as the name suggests.
This allows objects that are in fact reasonably compatible to be
linked.

The behavior of _bfd_elf_merge_symbol and _bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol is
inconsistent.
In multiple definition case, _bfd_elf_merge_symbol decided to override the old
symbol definition with the new defintion, (size, type, target data)
In _bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol, it simply return without doing anything
because of allow-multiple-definition is provided.
This leaves the symbol in a wrong state.
Here, following the documentation, I made this patch to force the old definition
override the new definition if the old symbol is not dynamic or weak.
Because, in those two cases, it's expected to do some merge. I have checked
that, those two cases are properly handled.

One way to print 64-bit bfd_vma or bfd_size_type values on 32-bit
hosts is to cast the value to long long and use the 'll' modifier in
printf format strings. However, that's awkward because we also
support the Microsoft C library printf that uses 'I64' as a modifier
instead, and having variants of translated strings would not endear us
to the translation project. So, rewrite the 'll' modifier in
_doprint for Microsoft. Even with that capability it's not so nice
for 32-bit code to need casts to long long, so this patch makes 'L' a
modifier for bfd_vma rather than an alias for 'll'.

Currently, linker will define __start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME symbols
only for orphaned sections.
However, during garbage collection, ELF linker marks all sections with
references to __start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME symbols as used even
when section SECNAME isn't an orphaned section and linker won't define
__start_SECNAME nor __stop_SECNAME. And ELF linker stores the first
input section whose name matches __start_SECNAME or __stop_SECNAME in
u.undef.section for garbage collection. If these symbols are provided
in linker script, u.undef.section is set to the section where they will
defined by linker script, which leads to the incorrect output.
This patch changes linker to always define referenced __start_SECNAME and
__stop_SECNAME if the input section name is the same as the output section
name, which is always true for orphaned sections, and SECNAME is a C
identifier. Also __start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME symbols are marked
as hidden by ELF linker so that __start_SECNAME and __stop_SECNAME symbols
for section SECNAME in different modules are unique. For garbage
collection, ELF linker stores the first matched input section in the
unused vtable field.

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.

Correct a commit e5713223cbc1 ("MIPS/BFD: For n64 hold the number of
internal relocs in `->reloc_count'") regression and change internal
relocation handling in the generic ELF BFD linker code such that, except
in the presence of R_SPARC_OLO10 relocations, a section's `reloc_count'
holds the number of internal rather than external relocations, making
the handling more consistent between GAS, which sets `->reloc_count'
with a call to `bfd_set_reloc', and LD, which sets `->reloc_count' as it
reads input sections.
The handling of dynamic relocations remains unchanged and they continue
holding the number of external relocations in `->reloc_count'; they are
also not converted to the internal form except in `elf_link_sort_relocs'
(which does not handle the general, i.e. non-n64-MIPS case of composed
relocations correctly as per the ELF gABI, though it does not seem to
matter for the targets we currently support).
The n64 MIPS backend is the only one with `int_rels_per_ext_rel' set to
non-one, and consequently the change is trivial for all the remaining
backends and targets.
