Binutils with MCST patches
4b610737f0
In ELF, if a data symbol is defined in a shared library and used by the main program, it will be subject to a "copy relocation". In this scenario, the main program has a copy of the symbol in question, and a relocation that tells ld.so to copy the data from the shared library. Then the symbol in the main program is used to satisfy all references. This patch changes gdb to handle this scenario. Data symbols coming from ELF shared libraries get a special flag that indicates that the symbol's address may be subject to copy relocation. I looked briefly into handling copy relocations by looking at the actual relocations in the main program, but this seemed difficult to do with BFD. Note that no caching is done here. Perhaps this could be changed if need be; I wanted to avoid possible problems with either objfile lifetimes and changes, or conflicts with the long-term (vapor-ware) objfile splitting project. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-10-02 Tom Tromey <tromey@adacore.com> * symmisc.c (dump_msymbols): Don't use MSYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS. * ada-lang.c (lesseq_defined_than): Handle LOC_STATIC. * dwarf2read.c (dwarf2_per_objfile): Add can_copy parameter. (dwarf2_has_info): Likewise. (new_symbol): Set maybe_copied on symbol when appropriate. * dwarf2read.h (dwarf2_per_objfile): Add can_copy parameter. <can_copy>: New member. * elfread.c (record_minimal_symbol): Set maybe_copied on symbol when appropriate. (elf_symfile_read): Update call to dwarf2_has_info. * minsyms.c (lookup_minimal_symbol_linkage): New function. * minsyms.h (lookup_minimal_symbol_linkage): Declare. * symtab.c (get_symbol_address, get_msymbol_address): New functions. * symtab.h (get_symbol_address, get_msymbol_address): Declare. (SYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS, MSYMBOL_VALUE_ADDRESS): Handle maybe_copied. (struct symbol, struct minimal_symbol) <maybe_copied>: New member. |

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
