2024-10-16aarch64: Add support for GCS to AArch64 linkerusers/ARM/gcsSrinath Parvathaneni1-0/+4
This patch adds support for Guarded Control Stack in AArch64 linker. This patch implements the following: 1) Defines GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_GCS bit for GCS in GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_AND macro. 2) Adds readelf support to read and print the GNU properties in AArch64. Displaying notes found in: .note.gnu.property [ ]+Owner[ ]+Data size[ ]+Description GNU 0x00000010 NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 Properties: AArch64 feature: GCS 3) Adds support for the "-z gcs" linker option and document all the values allowed with this option (-z gcs[=always|never|implicit]) where "-z gcs" is equivalent to "-z gcs=always" and when this option is not passed in the command line, it defaults to "implicit". 4) Adds support for the "-z gcs-report" linker option and document all the values allowed with this option (-z gcs-report[=none|warning|error]) where "-z gcs-report" is equivalent to "-z gcs-report=none" and when this option is not passed in the command line, it defaults to "none". The ABI changes adding GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_GCS to the GNU property GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_AND is merged into main and can be found in [1].

2024-10-11bfd/ELF: restrict file alignment for object filesJan Beulich3-9/+9
While for executables properly aligning sections within the file can be quite relevant, the same is of pretty little importance for relocatable object files. Avoid passing "true" into _bfd_elf_assign_file_position_for_section() when dealing with object files, but compensate minimally by applying log_file_align in such cases as a cap to the alignment put in place.

2024-10-08Revised "Don't return (null) from bfd_elf_sym_name"Alan Modra1-5/+5
Commit 68bbe1183379 results in a lot of follow up work, much of which likely is still to be done. (And yes, since this is all for corrupted or fuzzed object files, a whole lot of work doesn't much benefit anyone. It was a bad idea to put NULL in asymbol->name.) So I'm changing the approach to instead put a unique empty string for symbols with a corrupted st_name. An empty string won't require much work to ensure nm, objcopy, objdump etc. won't crash, since these tools already must work with unnamed local symbols. The unique empty string is called bfd_symbol_error_name. This patch uses that name string for corrupted symbols in the ELF and COFF backends. Such symbols are displayed by nm and objdump as the translated string "<corrupt>", which is what the COFF backend used to put directly into corrupted symbols. ie. it's the way I should have written the original patch, plus a few tides and cleanups I retained from the reverted patches.

2024-10-03dlltool leading_underscoreAlan Modra1-42/+25
This patch tidies dlltool code dealing with adding a leading underscore to generated symbol names.

Update all uses. If neither --leading-underscore or --no=leading-underscore is given, set leading_underscore to a string with first char returned by bfd_get_target_info as the target's symbol underscoring.
2024-10-03nm: don't try to print line numbers for symbols without namesAlan Modra1-3/+3

During the execution of the command: i686-w64-mingw32-dlltool --input-def $def_filepath --output-delaylib $filepath --dllname qemu.exe An error occurred: i686-w64-mingw32-dlltool: failed to open temporary head file: ..._w64_mingw32_nativesdk_qemu_8_2_2_build_plugins_libqemu_plugin_api_a_h.s Due to the path length exceeding the Linux system's file name length limit (NAME_MAX=255), the temporary file name generated by the i686-w64-mingw32-dlltool command becomes too long to open. To address this, a new temporary file name prefix is generated using tmp_prefix = prefix_encode ("d", getpid()), ensuring that the file name does not exceed the system's length limit.

The new test wasn't being run, and failed due to relocations against .gnu.build.attributes being stripped by default strip behaviour. We probably should be keeping these relocations, but I haven't made that change here. BTW, the new test fails on ia64-hpux but that's just a repeat of the existing note-5 fail.

2024-07-06objcopy bfd_map_over_sections and global statusAlan Modra2-144/+140
This patch started life as a relatively simple change to fix some unimportant objcopy memory leaks, but expanded into a larger patch when I was annoyed by the awkwardness of passing data when using bfd_map_over_sections. A simple loop over sections is much more convenient, and we really don't need the abstraction layer. Sections in a list isn't going to disappear any time soon. The patch also removes use of the global "status" variable by all but the top-level functions called from main. * objcopy.c (filter_symbols): Return success as a bool. Pass symcount as a pointer, updated on return. (merge_gnu_build_notes): Similarly return a bool and add newsize param with updated smaller section size. (setup_bfd_headers): Return bool success rather than setting "status" on failure. (setup_section): Likewise. (copy_relocations_in_section, copy_section): Likewise, and adjust params. (mark_symbols_used_in_relocations): Likewise, and free memory on failure path. Don't call bfd_fatal. (get_sections): Delete function. (copy_object): Don't use bfd_map_over_sections, instead use a loop allowing easy detection of failure status. Free memory on error paths. (copy_archive): Return bool success rather than setting "status" on failure. (copy_file): Set "status" here. * testsuite/binutils-all/strip-13.d: Adjust to suit.
2024-07-05LoongArch: Add DT_RELR supportXi Ruoyao1-0/+1
The logic is same as a71d87680110 ("aarch64: Add DT_RELR support"). As LoongArch does not have -z dynamic-undefined-weak, we don't need to consider UNDEFWEAK_NO_DYNAMIC_RELOC. The linker relaxation adds another layer of complexity. When we delete bytes in a section during relaxation, we need to fix up the offset in the to-be-packed relative relocations against this section. Signed-off-by: Xi Ruoyao <xry111@xry111.site>
