Some types of relocations technically need to be signed rather than
unsigned: in particular ones that are used with moveli or movei,
or for jump and branch. This is almost never a problem. Jump and
branch opcodes are pretty much uniformly resolved by the static linker
(unless you omit -fpic for a shared library, which is not recommended).
The moveli and movei opcodes that need to be sign-extended generally
are for positive displacements, like the construction of the address of
main() from _start(). However, tst-pie1 ends up with main below _start
(in a different module) and the test failed due to signedness issues in
relocation handling.
This commit treats the value as signed when shifting (to preserve the
high bit) and also sign-extends the value generated from the updated
bundle when comparing with the desired bundle, which we do to make sure
no overflow occurred. As a result, the tst-pie1 test now passes.
This patch defines ELF_MACHINE_NO_RELA on all architectures. Tested
only on x86_64 to verify that the sources before and after are
identical except for two instructions that pass the current line
number in dl-machine.h to assert_fail.
I've moved the TILE-Gx and TILEPro ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy,
along with the linux-generic ports infrastructure. Beyond the README
update, the move was just
git mv ports/sysdeps/tile sysdeps/tile
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile \
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic \
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic
I updated the relevant ChangeLogs along the lines of the ARM move
in commit c6bfe5c4d7 and tested the 64-bit tilegx build to confirm that
there were no changes in "objdump -dr" output in the shared objects.
