Use -ggdb3 to generate .debug_macro sections, which are bigger and are
always compressed.
* ld-elf/compress.exp (build_tests): Replace -g with -ggdb3.
* ld-elf/zlibbegin.rS: Also expect "GC".
* ld-elf/zlibnormal.rS: Likewise.
All programs in binutils+gdb git repo now support gABI compression
with the SHF_COMPRESSED bit. This patch makes the zlib-gabi option
as compression default for gas, gold, ld and objcopy, instead of the
zlib-gnu option whose outputs are incompatible with gABI.
binutils/
* objcopy.c (copy_file): Set BFD_COMPRESS_GABI if not
zlib-gnu.
* doc/binutils.texi: Change --compress-debug-sections and
--compress-debug-sections=zlib to zlib-gabi.
binutils/testsuite/
* binutils-all/compress.exp: Update.
gas/
* as.c (parse_args): Make --compress-debug-sections and
--compress-debug-sections=zlib the same as
--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi.
* doc/as.texinfo: Change --compress-debug-sections and
--compress-debug-sections=zlib to zlib-gabi.
gold/
* compressed_output.cc (Output_compressed_section::set_final_data_size):
Make --compress-debug-sections=zlib the same as
--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi.
* testsuite/Makefile.am (flagstest_compress_debug_sections.check):
Expect ".debug_.*" with the SHF_COMPRESSED bit, instead of
".zdebug_".
* testsuite/Makefile.in: Regenerated.
ld/
* emultempl/elf32.em (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option): Make
--compress-debug-sections=zlib the same as
--compress-debug-sections=zlib-gabi.
* ld.texinfo: Change --compress-debug-sections=zlib to zlib-gabi.
ld/testsuite/
* ld-elf/zlibbegin.rS: Updated to .debug_.* with the
SHF_COMPRESSED bit.
* ld-elf/zlibnormal.rS: Likewise.
This patch adds --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi]
to ld for ELF targets to support generating compressed DWARF debug
sections. We always generate .zdebug_* section since section names have
been finalized and they can't be changed easily when compression is
being performed.
bfd/
* bfd-in.h (compressed_debug_section_type): New.
* compress.c (bfd_compress_section_contents): Add an argument
for linker write compression and always generate .zdebug_*
section when linking.
(bfd_init_section_compress_status): Pass FALSE to
bfd_compress_section_contents.
(bfd_compress_section): New function.
* elf.c (elf_fake_sections): For linking, set SEC_ELF_COMPRESS
on DWARF debug sections if COMPRESS_DEBUG is set and rename
section if COMPRESS_DEBUG_GABI_ZLIB isn't set.
(assign_file_positions_for_non_load_sections): Set sh_offset
to -1 if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.
(assign_file_positions_except_relocs): Likwise.
(_bfd_elf_assign_file_positions_for_relocs): Renamed to ...
(_bfd_elf_assign_file_positions_for_non_load): This. Change
return time to bfd_boolean. Compress the section if
SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.
(_bfd_elf_write_object_contents): Updated.
(_bfd_elf_set_section_contents): Write section contents to
the buffer if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.
* merge.c: Include "elf-bfd.h".
(sec_merge_emit): Add arguments for contents and offset. Write
to contents with offset if contents isn't NULL.
(_bfd_write_merged_section): Write section contents to the
buffer if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set. Pass contents and
output_offset to sec_merge_emit.
* elflink.c (bfd_elf_final_link): Allocate the buffer for
output section contents if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set.
* section.c (SEC_ELF_COMPRESS): New.
* bfd-in2.h: Regenerated.
gas/
* as.h (compressed_debug_section_type): Removed.
include/
* bfdlink.h (bfd_link_info): Add compress_debug.
ld/
* ld.texinfo: Document --compress-debug-sections=.
* ldmain.c (main): Set BFD_COMPRESS on output_bfd if
COMPRESS_DEBUG is set. Set BFD_COMPRESS_GABI on output_bfd
for COMPRESS_DEBUG_GABI_ZLIB.
* lexsup.c (elf_static_list_options): Add
--compress-debug-sections=.
* emultempl/elf32.em (OPTION_COMPRESS_DEBUG): New.
(xtra_long): Add "compress-debug-sections".
(gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option): Handle
OPTION_COMPRESS_DEBUG.
ld/testsuite/
* ld-elf/compress.exp (build_tests): Add tests for
--compress-debug-sections=.
(run_tests): Likewise.
Add additonal tests for --compress-debug-sections=.
* ld-elf/gabiend.rt: New file.
* ld-elf/gabinormal.rt: Likewise.
* ld-elf/gnubegin.rS: Likewise.
* ld-elf/gnunormal.rS: Likewise.
* ld-elf/zlibbegin.rS: Likewise.
