Fix a commit 74e1a04b97 ("More fixes for reading corrupt ELF files.")
`readelf --version-info' regression that caused "Version definition past
end of section" to be always printed at the end, even with good section
data.
For example with the `mips-linux' target we get:
$ cat ver_def.s
.data
.globl new_foo
.type new_foo, %object
new_foo:
.symver new_foo, foo@@ver_foo
$ cat ver_def.ver
{ global: *foo*; local: *; };
$ as -o ver_def.o ver_def.s
$ ld -e 0 --export-dynamic --version-script=ver_def.ver -o ver_def ver_def.o
$ readelf -V ver_def
Version symbols section '.gnu.version' contains 4 entries:
Addr: 000000000000007e Offset: 0x01007e Link: 2 (.dynsym)
000: 0 (*local*) 2 (ver_foo) 1 (*global*) 2 (ver_foo)
Version definition section '.gnu.version_d' contains 2 entries:
Addr: 0x0000000000000088 Offset: 0x010088 Link: 3 (.dynstr)
000000: Rev: 1 Flags: BASE Index: 1 Cnt: 1 Name: ver_def
0x001c: Rev: 1 Flags: none Index: 2 Cnt: 1 Name: ver_foo
Version definition past end of section
$
The cause is the `if (idx + ent.vd_next <= idx)' condition introduced to
ensure forward progress, which however always triggers for good version
definition section data as the last entry will have its `vd_next' value
set to 0.
Adjust the condition then, to say `if (idx + ent.vd_next < idx)' instead
and to ensure forward progress limit the number of entries processed to
the size of the version definition section, removing the problematic
message from output quoted above, while ensuring the original PR 17531
test case is still handled gracefully.
Add a suitable test case so that we have `readelf --version-info'
coverage; due to the lack of infrastructure needed to run the linker in
the `binutils' test suite and limited justification to implement it add
a new `readelf.exp' script to the `ld' test suite instead, intended to
gather any `readelf' test cases that require the linker to be run. If
ever we decide to have linker infrastructure added to the `binutils'
test suite, then the script can be moved between the test suites.

README for LD
This is the GNU linker. It is distributed with other "binary
utilities" which should be in ../binutils. See ../binutils/README for
more general notes, including where to send bug reports.
There are many features of the linker:
* The linker uses a Binary File Descriptor library (../bfd)
that it uses to read and write object files. This helps
insulate the linker itself from the format of object files.
* The linker supports a number of different object file
formats. It can even handle multiple formats at once:
Read two input formats and write a third.
* The linker can be configured for cross-linking.
* The linker supports a control language.
* There is a user manual (ld.texinfo), as well as the
beginnings of an internals manual (ldint.texinfo).
Installation
============
See ../binutils/README.
If you want to make a cross-linker, you may want to specify
a different search path of -lfoo libraries than the default.
You can do this by setting the LIB_PATH variable in ./Makefile
or using the --with-lib-path configure switch.
To build just the linker, make the target all-ld from the top level
directory (one directory above this one).
Porting to a new target
=======================
See the ldint.texinfo manual.
Reporting bugs etc
===========================
See ../binutils/README.
Known problems
==============
The Solaris linker normally exports all dynamic symbols from an
executable. The GNU linker does not do this by default. This is
because the GNU linker tries to present the same interface for all
similar targets (in this case, all native ELF targets). This does not
matter for normal programs, but it can make a difference for programs
which try to dlopen an executable, such as PERL or Tcl. You can make
the GNU linker export all dynamic symbols with the -E or
--export-dynamic command line option.
HP/UX 9.01 has a shell bug that causes the linker scripts to be
generated incorrectly. The symptom of this appears to be "fatal error
- scanner input buffer overflow" error messages. There are various
workarounds to this:
* Build and install bash, and build with "make SHELL=bash".
* Update to a version of HP/UX with a working shell (e.g., 9.05).
* Replace "(. ${srcdir}/scripttempl/${SCRIPT_NAME}.sc)" in
genscripts.sh with "sh ${srcdir}..." (no parens) and make sure the
emulparams script used exports any shell variables it sets.
