In a linker script, a sequence like this:
foo = ADDR (.some_section);
bar = foo;
PROVIDE (foo = 0);
will result in 'bar = ADDR (.some_section)' and 'foo = 0', which seems
like incorrect behaviour, foo is clearly defined elsewhere, and so the
PROVIDE should not trigger.
The problem is that an expression like this:
foo = ADDR (.some_section);
can't be evaluated until a late phase of the linker, due to the need
for the section '.some_section' to have been placed, then the PROVIDE
was being marked as being used during an earlier phase. At the end of
the link, both lines:
foo = ADDR (.some_section);
PROVIDE (foo = 0);
are active, and this causes the final value of 'foo' to be 0.
The solution proposed in this commit is that, during earlier phases of
the linker, when we see the expression 'foo = ADDR (.some_section);',
instead of ignoring the expression, we create a "fake" definition of
'foo'. The existence of this "fake" definition prevents the PROVIDE
from being marked used, and during the final phase the real definition
of 'foo' will replace the "fake" definition.
The new test provide-6 covers the exact case described above. The
provide-7 test is similar to the above, but using constant
expressions, this was never broken, but is added here to increase
coverage.
The provide-8 case also didn't fail before this commit, but I did
manage to break this case during development of this patch. This case
was only covered by a mmix test before, so I've added this here to
increase coverage.

Currently when recording a PROVIDE statement in a linker map file we
display something like:
PROVIDE (SYMBOL, VALUE)
However, in a linker script we write these statements like this:
PROVIDE (SYMBOL = VALUE);
This commit changes the output in the map file to be closer to linker
script format, the map file now contains:
PROVIDE (SYMBOL = VALUE)
The ';' is still missing from the end, but map files are not intended
to be valid linker script input, so adding the ';' just seems like
clutter.

R_AARCH64_ABS64, R_AARCH64_ABS32 and R_AARCH64_ABS16 are data relocations
supported in AArch64 elf ABI.
R_AARCH64_ABS64 under LP64 is allowed in shared object and a dynamic relocation entry
will be generated. This allows the dynamic linker to do further symbol resolution.
R_AARCH64_ABS32 likewise is allowed in shared object, however under ILP32 abi.
The original behavior for R_AARCH64_ABS32 under LP64 is that, it's allowed
in shared object and silently resolved at static linking time.
No dynamic relocation entry is generate for it.
R_AARCH64_ABS16 is allowed in shared object under both L64 and ILP32.
It's resolved at static linking time as well.
Under LP64, the address should be 64-bit. R_AARCH64_ABS32 relocation indicates
an address that is only sized 32 bits which is meaningless in LP64 shared object.
It's useful to error out.
I have checked glibc dynamic linker code, R_AARCH64_ABS16 is not supported at all. So
R_AARCH64_ABS16 should be reject in shared object completely.
In this patch, R_AARCH64_ABS32 is rejected under LP64 in constant section of shared object.
R_AARCH64_ABS16 is rejected in constant section of shared object in both ABI.
This will sometimes provide useful information for buggy code.

In early October, HJ Lu added support for a number of targets to "Dump
dynamic relocation in read-only section with minfo". This extends
that support to more targets, displays the symbol involved, and splits
the existing function that sets TEXTREL into a "readonly_dynrelocs"
and "maybe_set_textrel" function. I'll need "readonly_dynrelocs" if I
ever get around to fixing "pr22374 function pointer initialization"
fails.
am33_2.0, arc, bfin, hppa64, mn10300, and nios2 fail to mark a binary
needing text relocations with DT_TEXTREL. That's not good. xtensa also
fails to do so but complains about "dangerous relocation: dynamic
relocation in read-only section" so I reckon that is fine and have
marked the test as an xfail. The other targets need maintainer
attention.
Curiously, the map file dump wasn't added for x86, so the map test
currently fail on x86. It also fails on alpha, am33_2.0, arc, bfin,
hppa64, ia64, m68k, mips, mn10300, nios2, score and vax. cris
complains with "tmpdir/textrel.o, section .rodata: relocation
R_CRIS_32 should not be used in a shared object; recompile with -fPIC"
so I've marked it as an xfail.

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.

There is a call to update_definedness between code that evaluates an
assignment expression value and code that transfers symbol
attributes. When script assignment expressions contain DEFINED, that
can mean the wrong symbol type is copied. This patch tracks symbols
read during expression evaluation, rather than examining the
expression and re-evaluating conditionals. Not only does this
simplify the code, it also means ld can now copy symbol types in more
complex expressions.
An unfortunate side effect of copying symbol type for more complex
expressions affects mmix, which uses
PROVIDE (Main = DEFINED (Main) ? Main : (DEFINED (_start) ? _start : _start.));
in a default script. So now _start or _start. symbol type may be
copied, losing the function type specially set up for Main. This can
be avoided by making bfd_copy_link_hash_symbol_type do nothing for
mmix.

In the latest git version of mingw-w64, one can set the default
libmsvcrt.a to actually be the import library of another CRT version,
to facilitate switching to ucrtbase.dll. In these versions, the
traditional libmsvcrt.a (for linking to msvcrt.dll) is also provided
with the name libmsvcrt-os.a.
The import libraries for the CRT also contain a number of compatibility
wrapper functions. The ones in libmsvcrt.a have so far been excluded
automatically since they in most cases come with a corresponding
__imp_foo function. None of these make sense to export automatically
from a DLL though, so add these libraries to the exclude list.
libucrtbase.a contains a number of compatibility wrapper functions
that don't have a corresponding __imp_foo symbol, which cause
these symbols to be exported from DLLs.
This can be worked around on the mingw-w64 side by adding extra
__imp_ symbols, but since they aren't strictly necessary for linking
to succeed, it's probably better long-term to add these libraries to
the exclusion list.

Hi Guys,
I am applying the rather large patch attached to this email to enhance
the readelf and objdump programs so that they now have the ability to
follow links to separate debug info files. (As requested by PR
15152). So for example whereas before we had this output:
$ readelf -wi main.exe
Contents of the .debug_info section:
[...]
<15> DW_AT_comp_dir : (alt indirect string, offset: 0x30c)
[...]
With the new option enabled we get:
$ readelf -wiK main.exe
main.exe: Found separate debug info file: dwz.debug
Contents of the .debug_info section (loaded from main.exe):
[...]
<15> DW_AT_comp_dir : (alt indirect string, offset: 0x30c) /home/nickc/Downloads/dwzm
[...]
The link following feature also means that we can get two lots of
output if the same section exists in both the main file and the
separate debug info file:
$ readelf -wiK main.exe
main.exe: Found separate debug info file: dwz.debug
Contents of the .debug_info section (loaded from main.exe):
[...]
Contents of the .debug_info section (loaded from dwz.debug):
[...]
The patch also adds the ability to display the contents of debuglink
sections:
$ readelf -wk main.exe
Contents of the .gnu_debugaltlink section:
Separate debug info file: dwz.debug
Build-ID (0x14 bytes):
c4 a8 89 8d 64 cf 70 8a 35 68 21 f2 ed 24 45 3e 18 7a 7a 93
Naturally there are long versions of these options (=follow-links and
=links). The documentation has been updated as well, and since both
readelf and objdump use the same set of debug display options, I have
moved the text into a separate file. There are also a couple of new
binutils tests to exercise the new behaviour.
There are a couple of missing features in the current patch however,
although I do intend to address them in follow up submissions:
Firstly the code does not check the build-id inside separate debug
info files when it is searching for a file specified by a
.gnu_debugaltlink section. It just assumes that if the file is there,
then it contains the information being sought.
Secondly I have not checked the DWARF-5 version of these link
features, so there will probably be code to add there.
Thirdly I have only implemented link following for the
DW_FORM_GNU_strp_alt format. Other alternate formats (eg
DW_FORM_GNU_ref_alt) have yet to be implemented.
Lastly, whilst implementing this feature I found it necessary to move
some of the global variables used by readelf (eg section_headers) into
a structure that can be passed around. I have moved all of the global
variables that were necessary to get the patch working, but I need to
complete the operation and move the remaining, file-specific variables
(eg dynamic_strings).
Cheers
Nick

To allow translators to reorder values in translated strings. This
should mean that all binutils messages now have support for
reordering.
Note to translators: Not all % letters take arguments, so for example
the following only has two arguments, the two %s strings.
"%P%F: output format %s cannot represent section called %s: %E\n"
You could reorder this if you liked to:
"%P%F: %E: section %2$s cannot be represented in output format %1$s\n"
einfo lacks support for flags, field width, precision and length
modifier (apart from %ld and %lu) so don't try to use them in
translations. Both ld and bfd lack support to use a positional arg
twice. These features could be added if needed..
* ldmisc.c (vfinfo): Support up to 9 positional args.
The fix for the PR is to not use input_section->output_section->owner
to get to the output bfd, but use the output bfd directly since it is
available nowadays in struct bfd_link_info.
I thought it worth warning when non-empty dynamic sections are
discarded too, which meant a tweak to one of the ld tests to avoid the
warning.
