Necessary if gcc is to use PLT16 relocs to implement -mlongcall, and
there isn't a good technical reason why local symbols should be
excluded from PLT16 support. Non-ifunc local symbol PLT entries go in

executable they won't need to be relocated, and in a PIE or shared

Plugin uses dlsym, but libasan.so only intercepts dlopen, not dlsym:
[hjl@gnu-tools-1 binutils-text]$ nm -D /lib64/libasan.so.4| grep " dl"

Testing dlopen for libdl leads to false negative when -fsanitize=address
is used. It results in link failure:
../bfd/.libs/libbfd.a(plugin.o): undefined reference to symbol 'dlsym@@GLIBC_2.16'
dlsym should be used to check if libdl is needed for plugin.

This patch deals with the generation of the import library on the fly.
The implementation is inefficient because the linker makes a lot of
calls to realloc and memmove when importing the symbols in order to
maintain a sorted list of symbols.
This is fixable by relying on the fact that, for every linked DLL,
the list of symbols it exports is already sorted so you can import
them en masse once you have found the insertion point.

* pe-dll.c (pe_implied_import_dll): Use an optimized version of the

This patch deals with the auto-import feature. There are 2 versions
of this feature: the original one, which was piggybacked on the OS
loader with an optional help from the runtime (--enable-auto-import
--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc-v1) and is still the one mostly
documented in the sources and manual; the enhanced one by Kai Tietz,
which is entirely piggybacked on the runtime (--enable-auto-import
--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc-v2) and is the default for Mingw and
Cygwin nowadays.
The implementation is inefficient because of pe[p]_find_data_imports:
for every undefined symbol, the function walks the entire set of
relocations for all the input files and does a direct name comparison
for each of them.
This is easily fixable by using a hash-based map for v1 and a simple
hash table for v2. This patch leaves v1 alone and only changes v2.
It also factors out pe[p]_find_data_imports into a common function,
removes old cruft left and right, and attempts to better separate
the implementations of v1 and v2 in the code.

Those relocations includes both ip64 and ilp32 variant.
This is a regression for the corner case of a hidden symbol in a PIC/PIE
binary which is subject to both a new-style GOTDATA relocation and an
old-style GOT relocation. In this case, depending on the link order,
the R_SPARC_RELATIVE dynamic relocation for the GOT slot needed because
of the old-style relocation can be replaced with R_SPARC_NONE coming
from the GOTDATA relocation.
The fix simply records whether an old-style GOT relocation is seen for a
symbol and prevents the R_SPARC_NONE from being generated in this case.

The TLSDESC entry in a lazy procedure linkage table is called indirectly
with "callq *(%rax)". This patch adds an ENDBR64 to support indirect
branch tracking in Intel CET. The TLSDESC PLT entry now looks like:
0xf3, 0x0f, 0x1e, 0xfa, /* endbr64 */
0xff, 0x35, 8, 0, 0, 0, /* pushq GOT+8(%rip) */

Fix a typo: $LFLAGS -> $LDFLAGS"), and remove extraneous additional LD

With the actual version committed the $LDFLAGS global variable is used
instead for `run_dump_test' to use implicitly, so that `-call_shared'
precedes `-lpersonality' on the linker's command line, as otherwise a
shared `libpersonality.so' library wouldn't be considered for linking,

Following on from PR 22929, I have found the same problem exists with
other ifunc supporting targets too. Plus see this link for the bug

So I am going to check in the patch below which applies the same
change that H.J. made for the x86_64 target to the other affected

Currently, when `mips_elf_calculate_relocation' is asked to relocate an
undefined symbol, it reports an error or a warning and immediately
returns without performing the relocation. This is fine if the link
fails, but if unresolved_syms_in_objects == RM_GENERATE_WARNING, the
link will continue and output some unrelocated code, which is a
regression from commit e7e2196da3 ("MIPS/BFD: Correctly report

This patch adds --enable-separate-code to ld configure to turn on
-z separate-code by default and enables it by default for Linux/x86.
This avoids mixing code pages with data to improve cache performance
as well as security.
To reduce x86-64 executable and shared object sizes, the maximum page
size is reduced from 2MB to 4KB when -z separate-code is turned on by
default. Note: -z max-page-size= can be used to set the maximum page
size.

I suppose you could avoid contractions like "don't" but I'm unsure as
to whether gettext could handle everything in the emulparams scripts.

this patch does. The patch just copies what is already done in bfd/

More standarization of error/warning messages. The ARM backend has
some multi-line error messages, which don't fit particularly well with
the GNU coding standard insistence that error messages shouldn't be
capitalized or have a full-stop. I've replaced the line breaks with
semicolons.
So for instance the following
system/path/to/ld: myobject.o: invalid special symbol `foo'.
system/path/to/ld: It must be a global or weak function symbol.

The GNU coding standard says error messages should be of the form
program:sourcefile:lineno: message
or
program: message
and
"The string message should not begin with a capital letter when it
follows a program name and/or file name, because that isn’t the
beginning of a sentence. (The sentence conceptually starts at the
beginning of the line.) Also, it should not end with a period."
This patch does that for ppc, and removes some British spelling.
I've also switched some error output from using the linker callback
einfo to _bfd_error_handler, due to improved compilation time
argument checking now done for the latter function.

Use the SEC_FIXED_SIZE flag to actually fix the size of `.reginfo' and
`.MIPS.abiflags' sections in `_bfd_mips_elf_always_size_sections', as
originally intended, removing link failures such as:
ld: final link failed: Section has no contents
or:
ld: final link failed: Bad value
or:
ld: foo: .reginfo section size should be 24 bytes, actual size is 32
and assertion failures like:
ld: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.30.51.20180131 assertion fail .../bfd/elfxx-mips.c:14322
in link scenarios involving a linker script that either creates an
output `.reginfo' or `.MIPS.abiflags' section from scratch or produces
either section from different sections. If such an output section's
size turns out to be incorrect according to the psABI, then the section
is either truncated or padded out to the correct size, as relevant.
This allows people to handle these sections in a link in an unusual way,
while still addressing the issue covered by commit 58807c48a5
("_bfd_mips_elf_final_link: Notify user about wrong .reginfo size").
The original arrangement, coming from an unindentified change made to
what was called `mips_elf_always_size_sections' back then, between
commit 02650bd0a9 ("This adds ABI flags to MIPS/ELF object files.")
and commit 252b5132c7 ("19990502 sourceware import"), also missing
from BFD ChangeLog files, assumed that the output section size is not
going to change after return from `bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections', the
caller of that function, called in turn from `ldemul_before_allocation'
via `gld${EMULATION_NAME}_before_allocation' in ld/emultempl/elf32.em,
and ultimately from `lang_process'. This is because later on in
`lang_process' processing `lang_size_sections' is called , happily
recalculating the section size, and it has actually already been the
case at the time of commit 252b5132c7 ("19990502 sourceware import"),
so the assumption was clearly incorrect right from the beginning.

Define a SEC_FIXED_SIZE section flag for target backends to use for
output sections whose size has been fixed in the psABI. The size of
such sections will not be changed anyhow by the generic linker and it is
up to the target backend to get their size right.

ld-elf/ehdr_start fails with -z separate-code. Since there is no data

There are 2 program headers, starting at offset 64

the program header isn't included in any LOAD segment. As the result,
reference to __ehdr_start is resolved to zero. Pass --build-id to ld
to add a data LOAD segment before code LOAD segment to put the program
header in the data LOAD segment.

-z separate-code creates separate code LOAD segment, aligns it to the
maximum page size and places .plt section before .text section. But
ld-elf/eh4 passes -Ttext 0x400 to linker to place .text section at
address 0x400, which is impossible for linker to accomplish:
$ ld -shared -Ttext 0x400 -z separate-code -o x.so eh4.o
ld: section .eh_frame LMA [0000000000200000,000000000020006b] overlaps section .plt LMA [0000000000200000,000000000020001f]
Since ld-elf/eh4 also checks exact addresses, this patch passes
-z max-page-size=0x200000 -z noseparate-code to ld.
