7 daysgas: elf: binutils: add new section type SHT_GNU_SFRAMEIndu Bhagat1-0/+2
So far, SFrame sections were of type SHT_PROGBITS. As per ELF specification, SHT_PROGBITS indicates that the section holds information defined by the program, whose format and meaning are determined solely by the program. On the linker side, SHT_PROGBITS should be reserved for the simple "cat contents after applying relocs" semantics. Currently, the only way to know that a section contains SFrame stack trace data is if consumer checks for section name. Such a check for section name is not quite conformant to ELF principles. Some of this was discussed here https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2025-March/140181.html With this change, the SFrame sections generated by gas, ld will have section type set to SHT_GNU_SFRAME. The new section type is defined in the SHT_LOOS/SHT_HIOS space. The SFrame parsing routine _bfd_elf_parse_sframe () now admits sections only when the the section type is SHT_GNU_SFRAME. No special handling / validation is done at the moment for the case of manual creation of SFrame sections via obj_elf_section (). Add function level comments for now to add a note about this. Although the default handling for (sh_type >= SHT_LOOS && sh_type <= SHT_HIOS) is sufficient when SHT_GNU_SFRAME is in that range, it makes sense to add it as a case of its own. bfd/ * elf-sframe.c (_bfd_elf_parse_sframe): Check if section type is SHT_GNU_SFRAME.

7 daysPR 19977: MIPS: Add missing pairing for REL PCHI/PCLO relocationsMaciej W. Rozycki4-0/+73
Just as with all HI/LO 16-bit partial relocations the newly-introduced MIPSr6 PC-relative R_MIPS_PCHI16 and R_MIPS_PCLO16 relocations require pairing for correct borrow propagation from the low part to the high part with REL targets, another case for PR 19977. Unlike with absolute relocation, there is a complication here in that both parts represent a calculation that is relative to the PC at the individual relocation's location rather than both referring to the location of the R_MIPS_PCHI16 relocation, normally applied to an AUIPC instruction, the location of which is used for the run-time calculation executed by hardware. To take this semantics into account, the addend of the R_MIPS_PCLO16 relocation matching a given R_MIPS_PCHI16 relocation is expected to be adjusted in the source assembly file for the distance between the two relocations in a single pair, so that once both relocations have been calculated by the linker, the expression calculated at run time is such as if the combined 32-bit immediate was added at the location of the AUIPC instruction. So for matching R_MIPS_PCHI16 and R_MIPS_PCLO16 relocations into pairs GAS needs to check for the distance between the two relocations to be equal to the difference between the addends supplied, and then the linker has to subtract the low part of the distance between the two relocations from the low part in calculating the high part, so as to factor in any borrow. A further complication is that `_bfd_mips_elf_lo16_reloc' handler is supplied with the addend differently depending on whether it has been called by GAS via `bfd_install_relocation', or by the generic linker via `bfd_perform_relocation'. In the former case the addend is supplied with the relocation itself while in the latter one it comes from the field being relocated. We currently ignore the addend supplied with the relocation and it works for calculating absolute high-part relocations, because the same addend has been previously supplied with them when `_bfd_mips_elf_hi16_reloc' was called, however this approach does not work for the PC-relative case because as noted above the low-part addend is different and we need to consistently apply the distance adjustment both with GAS and LD. Since the supplied addend and one retrieved from field being relocated won't ever be both nonzero, just use the sum of the two values. The low-part addend in `mips_elf_add_lo16_rel_addend' always comes from the field being relocated, so there's no complication there, we just need to apply the same adjustment. New linker test cases verify that the same ultimate machine code is produced both for ELF and S-record output formats, ensuring that the both the MIPS/ELF linker and the generic linker behave in the correct way, consistent with each other.

8 dayss390: Add SFrame stack trace information for .plt sectionJens Remus4-4/+39
Enable SFrame stack tracing through PLT entries. Based on x86-64. On s390x both PLT0 and PLTn entries are 32-bytes in size. Their code neither alters the stack pointer (SP), frame pointer (FP), nor return address (RA) registers. Therefore the PLT0 can be represented using a SFrame FDE of type PCINC with a single SFrame FRE and the PLTn can be represented using a SFrame FDE of type PCMASK, with a repetition block size of 32 (PLTn size), and a single SFrame FRE. Note that as both the PLT0 entry and the PLTn entries have equal size and could both be represented using the identical SFrame FRE, the whole .plt section on s390x could be represented using a single SFrame FDE of type PCMASK, with a repetition block size of 32 (PLT0 and PLTn size), and a single SFrame FRE. Keep the x86-64 logic with separate SFrame FDEs for PLT0 and PLTn, to ease potential generalization of the .sframe for .plt generation logic among architectures. bfd/ * elf64-s390.c: Include sframe.h and sframe-api.h.

8 dayss390: Initial support to generate .sframe from CFI directives in assemblerJens Remus4-0/+65
This introduces initial support to generate .sframe from CFI directives in assembler on s390 64-bit (s390x). Due to SFrame V2 format limitations it has the following limitations, some of them getting addressed by subsequent patches, which cause generation of SFrame FDE to be skipped: - SFrame FP/RA tracking only supports register contents being saved on the stack (i.e. .cfi_offset). It does not support FP/RA register contents being saved in other registers (i.e. .cfi_register). GCC on s390x can be observed to save the FP/RA register contents in floating- point registers, but only in leaf functions. This issue is detailed further and resolved in the subsequent commit "s390: Represent FP/RA saved in register in SFrame". - SFrame FP/RA tracking cannot represent FP without RA saved. This is because the format assumes SFrame FDE offset2 to be the RA offset, if there are two offsets, and offset3 to be the FP offset, if there are three offsets. There is no mean to distinguish whether offset2 is the RA or FP offset, if there are only two offsets. This issue is detailed further and resolved in the subsequent commit "s390: Represent FP without RA saved in SFrame". - SFrame assumes a dedicated FP register number. The s390x ELF ABI [1] does only designate register 11 as preferred FP register number. In general GCC and Clang on s390x use register 11 as frame pointer. GCC on s390x can be observed to use register 14 as frame pointer in the stack clash protector in the function prologue. glibc on s390x contains hand-written assembler code that uses register 12 as frame pointer. This s390x support is largely based on the AArch64 support from commit b52c4ee46657 ("gas: generate .sframe from CFI directives"). The SFrame ABI/arch identifier SFRAME_ABI_S390X_ENDIAN_BIG is introduced for s390x and added to the SFrame format specification. The s390x ELF ABI [1] specifies the following C calling conventions for s390x architecture: - Register 15 is the stack pointer (SP). - Register 14 contains the return address (RA) at function entry. - There is no dedicated frame pointer register. Register 11 is the preferred frame pointer (FP). [2] GCC and Clang in general use register 11 as frame pointer. - The CFA is defined as SP at call site +160. [3] The SP at call site can therefore be derived from the CFA using a SP value offset from CFA of -160. The s390x ELF ABI [1] does not assign any standard save slot to each register in the register save area of a stack frame. Neither the return address (RA, r14) nor preferred frame pointer (FP, r11) necessarily need to be saved. Therefore SFrame RA and FP tracking is used. Support for SFrame on s390 is only enabled for the 64-bit s390x ELF ABI (z/Architecture with 64-bit addressing mode). It is disabled for the 32-bit s390 ELF ABI (ESA/390 or z/Architecture with 32-bit addressing mode). s390x-specific SFrame assembler and linker tests are added, including error tests for use of a non-preferred frame pointer (FP) register and specification of a non-default return address (RA) register.

11 daysRISC-V: Fix libpath_suffix selection for ldscriptMark Goncharov6-6/+6
When building a cross-compiler ld for RISC-V Linux systems, you can specify target=riscv64*-linux* to create a linker that supports both 32-bit (-march=rv32*) and 64-bit (-march=rv64*) architectures. The specified -march value populates the EMULATION_NAME variable, which determines the default linker script selection. For proper riscv64 target support, the build process must prepare both elf32lriscv* and elf64lriscv* linker scripts. These should align with the standard RISC-V Linux sysroot directory structure.

12 daysLoongArch: Allow to relax instructions into NOPs after handling alignmentWANG Xuerui4-1/+81
Right now, LoongArch linker relaxation is 2-pass, since after alignment is done, byte deletion can no longer happen. However, as the alignment pass also shrinks text sections, new relaxation chances may well be created after alignment is done. Although at this point we can no longer delete unused instructions without disturbing alignment, we can still replace them with NOPs; popular LoongArch micro-architectures can eliminate NOPs during execution, so we can expect a (very) slight performance improvement from those late-created relaxation chances. To achieve this, the number of relax passes is raised to 3 for LoongArch, and every relaxation handler except loongarch_relax_align is migrated to a new helper loongarch_relax_delete_or_nop, that either deletes bytes or fills the bytes to be "deleted" with NOPs, depending on whether the containing section already has undergone alignment. Also, since no byte can be deleted during this relax pass, in the pass the pending_delete_ops structure is no longer allocated, and loongarch_calc_relaxed_addr(x) degrades to the trivial "return x" in this case. In addition, previously when calculating distances to symbols, an extra segment alignment must be considered, because alignment may increase distance between sites. However in the newly added 3rd pass code size can no longer increase for "closed" sections, so we can skip the adjustment for them to allow for a few more relaxation chances. A simple way to roughly measure this change's effectiveness is to check how many pcalau12i + addi.d pairs are relaxed into pcaddi's. Taking a Firefox 140.0.2 test build of mine as an example: Before: 47842 pcaddi's in libxul.so After: 48089 This is a 0.5% increase, which is kind of acceptable for a peephole optimization like this; of which 9 are due to the "relax"ed symbol distance treatment.

12 daysld: bfd: sframe: fix incorrect r_offset in RELA entriesIndu Bhagat2-0/+36
PR/32666 Incorrect .rela.sframe when using ld -r Input SFrame sections are merged using _bfd_elf_merge_section_sframe (), which clubs all SFrame FDEs together in one blob and all SFrame FREs in another. This, of course, means the offset of an SFrame FDE in the output section cannot be simply derived from the output_offset of the sections. Fix this by providing _bfd_elf_sframe_section_offset () which returns the new offset of the SFrame FDE in the merged SFrame section. Unlike EH_Frame sections, which also use the _bfd_elf_section_offset (), to update the r_offset, SFrame sections have distinct merging semantics. In case of SFrame, the SFrame FDE will not simply sit at location "sec->output_offset + offset of SFrame FDE in sec". Recall that information layout in an SFrame section is as follows: SFrame Header SFrame FDE 1 SFrame FDE 2 ... SFrame FDEn SFrame FREs (Frame Row Entries) Note how the SFrame FDEs and SFrame FREs are clubber together in groups of their own. Next, also note how the elf_link_input_bfd () does a: irela->r_offset += o->output_offset; This, however, needs to be avoided for SFrame sections because the placement of all FDEs is at the beginning of the section. So, rather than conditionalizing this as follows: if (o->sec_info_type != SEC_INFO_TYPE_SFRAME) irela->r_offset += o->output_offset; the implementation in _bfd_elf_sframe_section_offset () does a reverse adjustment, so that the generic parts of the linking process in elf_link_input_bfd () are not made to do SFrame specific adjustments. Add a new enum to track the current state of the SFrame input section during the linking process (SFRAME_SEC_DECODED, SFRAME_SEC_MERGED) for each input SFrame section. This is then used to assert an assumption that _bfd_elf_sframe_section_offset () is being used on an input SFrame sections which have not been merged (via _bfd_elf_merge_section_sframe ()) yet. bfd/ * elf-bfd.h: New declaration. * elf-sframe.c (_bfd_elf_sframe_section_offset): New definition. * elf.c (_bfd_elf_section_offset): Adjust offset if SFrame section. ld/testsuite/ * ld-x86-64/x86-64.exp: New test. * ld-x86-64/sframe-reloc-1.d: New test.
12 daysbfd: gas: ld: libsframe: adopt new encoding for FDE func start addr fieldIndu Bhagat6-6/+12
This patch convenes a set of changes in bfd, gas, ld, libsframe towards moving to the new encoding for the 'sfde_func_start_address' field in SFrame FDE. First, gas must now mark all SFrame sections with the new flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. gas was already emitting the field in the said encoding. * gas/gen-sframe.c (output_sframe_internal): Emit the flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. Similarly for ld, adopt the new semantics of sfde_func_start_address consistently. This means: - When merging SFrame sections, check that all input SFrame sections have the SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL flag set. If the check fails, ld errors out. - When merging SFrame sections, keep even the in-memory contents of the FDE function start address (buffer passed to libsframe sframe_encoder_write () for writing out) encoded in the new semantics. While it is, in theory, possible that instead of doing this change here, we adjust the value of sfde_func_start_address at the final write (sframe_encoder_write) time. But latter is not favorable for maintenanance and may be generally confusing for developers. - When creating SFrame for PLT entries, emit flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. include/ * sframe-api.h (SFRAME_F_LD_MUSTHAVE_FLAGS): New definition. bfd/ * elf-sframe.c (_bfd_elf_merge_section_sframe): Check for flag combinatation SFRAME_F_LD_MUSTHAVE_FLAGS set for all input and output SFrame sections. If not, error out. Also, adopt the new semantics of function start address encoding. * bfd/elfxx-x86.c (_bfd_x86_elf_create_sframe_plt): Emit flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. Next, for dumping SFrame sections, now that we are emitting the same encoding in GAS, non-relocatable and relocatable SFrame links, it is the time to set relocate to TRUE in debug_displays[]. binutils/ * dwarf.c (struct dwarf_section_display): Allow sframe sections to now be relocated. gas/testsuite/ * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-aarch64-pac-ab-key-1.d: Update the test. Relocatable SFrame sections now display non-zero value (appropriate function start address). Now, as the SFrame sections on-disk and in-memory use the new semantics of sfde_func_start_address encoding (i.e., function start address is the offset from the sfde_func_start_address field to the start PC), the calculation to make it human readable (i.e., relatable to the addresses in .text sections) needs adjustment. libsframe/ * sframe-dump.c (dump_sframe_func_with_fres): Adjust the function start address for dumping.

Naturally, the change of semantics for 'SFrame FDE function start address' has consequences on the implementation in libsframe. As per the new semantics: - Function start address in the SFrame FDE (sfde_func_start_address) is an offset from the FDE function start address field to the start PC of the associated function. Note that, the libsframe library brings the SFrame section contents into its own memory to create a sframe_decoder_ctx object via sframe_decode (). Many internal and user-interfacing APIs then may use sframe_decoder_ctx object to interact and fulfill the work. In context of changing semantics for sfde_func_start_address, following relevant examples may help understand the impact: - sframe_find_fre () finds a the SFrame stack trace data (SFrame FRE) given a lookup offset (offset of lookup_pc from the start of SFrame section). Now that the sfde_func_start_address includes the distance from the sfde_func_start_address field to the start of SFrame section itself, the comparison checks of sfde_func_start_address with the incoming lookup offset need adjustment. - Some internal functions (sframe_get_funcdesc_with_addr_internal () finds SFrame FDE by using binary seach comparing sfde_func_start_address fields, etc.) need adjustments. - sframe_encoder_write () sorts the SFrame FDEs before writing out the SFrame data. Sorting of SFrame FDE via the internal function sframe_sort_funcdesc() needs adjustments: the new encoding of sfde_func_start_address means the distances are not from the same anchor, so cannot be sorted directly. This patch takes the approach of adding a new internal function: - sframe_decoder_get_secrel_func_start_addr (): This function returns the offset of the start PC of the function from the start of SFrame section, i.e., it gives a section-relative offset. As the sframe_decoder_get_secrel_func_start_addr () API needs the value of the function index in the FDE list, another internal API needs sframe_fre_check_range_p () adjustments too. Sorting the FDEs (via sframe_sort_funcdesc ()) is done by first bringing all offsets in sfde_func_start_address relative to start of SFrame section, followed by sorting, and then readjusting the offsets accroding to the new position in the FDE list. libsframe/ * sframe.c (sframe_decoder_get_secrel_func_start_addr): New static function. (sframe_fre_check_range_p): Adjust the interface a bit. (sframe_get_funcdesc_with_addr_internal): Use sframe_decoder_get_secrel_func_start_addr () when comparing sfde_func_start_address with user input offset. (sframe_find_fre): Adopt the new semantics. (sframe_sort_funcdesc): Likewise. For the libsframe testsuite, use the new encoding for FDE func start addr: distance between the FDE sfde_func_start_address field and the start PC of the function itself. Use SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL flag, though the sframe_encode () interface in libsframe applies no sanity checks for the encoding itself. libsframe/testsuite/ * libsframe.find/findfre-1.c: Adjust to use the new SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL specific encoding. * libsframe.find/findfunc-1.c: Likewise. * libsframe.find/plt-findfre-1.c: Likewise. * libsframe/testsuite/libsframe.decode/DATA2: Update data file due to usage of new SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL flag. * libsframe/testsuite/libsframe.encode/encode-1.c: Use flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL.

12 daysMIPS/BFD: Fix RELA handling of borrow in the generic linkerMaciej W. Rozycki17-12/+111
Fix an issue with `_bfd_mips_elf_generic_reloc' not taking into account any borrow from the lower part in the handling of relocations of the HI/LO kind and resulting in incorrect calculations made for RELA targets in the generic used for non-ELF output such as S-records. This doesn't trigger for REL targets because they call `_bfd_mips_elf_generic_reloc' indirectly from `_bfd_mips_elf_lo16_reloc' so as to obtain a complete 32-bit addend from relocation pairs and in calculating the addend the latter function uses a hack to work around the lack of borrow handling in the former function. The MIPS/ELF linker is unaffected as it uses its own calculations. Correct the calculation of the relevant partial relocations made in `_bfd_mips_elf_generic_reloc' then to take the borrow into account and remove the hack from `_bfd_mips_elf_lo16_reloc' as no longer needed. Add generic linker test cases accordingly expecting the same disassembly from srec output produced as from ELF output produced by the MIPS/ELF linker.

Modify the linker script so as to retain the `.MIPS.abiflags' section so as to disassemble MIPS16e2 code correctly, as MIPS16e2 ASE information is only carried in that section and not in ELF file header's `e_flags'. MIPS16e2 and microMIPS code requires at least the MIPS32r2 ISA (or the MIPS64r2 one for the n32 and n64 ABIs), which is incompatible with the `mips:5900' linker output architecture and causes link failures such as: ./ld-new: tmpdir/mips-hilo1.o: linking mips:isa32r2 module with previous mips:5900 modules ./ld-new: failed to merge target specific data of file tmpdir/mips-hilo1.o Therefore exclude `mips*el-ps2-elf*' targets from microMIPS and MIPS16e2 LD testing.

2025-06-13bfd,ld,dlltool: Emit delay-load import data into its own sectionLIU Hao2-2/+51
A delay-import symbol (of a function) is resolved when a call to it is made. The delay loader may overwrite the `__imp_` pointer to the actual function after it has been resolved, which requires the pointer itself be in a writeable section. Previously it was placed in the ordinary Import Address Table (IAT), which is emitted into the `.idata` section, which had been changed to read-only in db00f6c3aceabbf03acdb69e74b59b2d2b043cd7, which caused segmentation faults when functions from delay-import library were called. This is PR 32675. This commit makes DLLTOOL emit delay-import IAT into `.didat`, as specified by Microsoft. Most of the code is copied from `.idata`, except that this section is writeable. As a side-effect of this, PR 14339 is also fixed. Using this DEF: ``` ; ws2_32.def LIBRARY "WS2_32.DLL" EXPORTS WSAGetLastError ``` and this C program: ``` // delay.c #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN 1 #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // User code ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// DWORD WINAPI WSAGetLastError(void); extern PVOID __imp_WSAGetLastError; int main(void) { fprintf(stderr, "before delay load, __imp_WSAGetLastError = %p\n", __imp_WSAGetLastError); SetLastError(123); fprintf(stderr, "WSAGetLastError() = %d\n", WSAGetLastError()); fprintf(stderr, "after delay load, __imp_WSAGetLastError = %p\n", __imp_WSAGetLastError); __imp_WSAGetLastError = (PVOID) 1234567; fprintf(stderr, "after plain write, __imp_WSAGetLastError = %p\n", __imp_WSAGetLastError); } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Overridden `__delayLoadHelper2` facility ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// extern char __ImageBase[]; PVOID WINAPI ResolveDelayLoadedAPI(PVOID ParentModuleBase, LPCVOID DelayloadDescriptor, PVOID FailureDllHook, PVOID FailureSystemHook, FARPROC* ThunkAddress, ULONG Flags); FARPROC WINAPI DelayLoadFailureHook(LPCSTR name, LPCSTR function); FARPROC WINAPI __delayLoadHelper2(LPCVOID pidd, FARPROC* ppfnIATEntry) { return ResolveDelayLoadedAPI(&__ImageBase, pidd, NULL, (PVOID) DelayLoadFailureHook, ppfnIATEntry, 0); } ``` This program used to crash: ``` $ dlltool -nn -d ws2_32.def -y delay_ws2_32.a $ gcc -g delay.c delay_ws2_32.a -o delay.exe $ ./delay.exe before delay load, __imp_WSAGetLastError = 00007FF6937215C6 Segmentation fault ``` After this commit, it loads and calls `WSAGetLastError()` properly, and `__imp_WSAGetLastError` is writeable: ``` $ dlltool -nn -d ws2_32.def -y delay_ws2_32.a $ gcc -g delay.c delay_ws2_32.a -o delay.exe $ ./delay.exe before delay load, __imp_WSAGetLastError = 00007FF76E2215C6 WSAGetLastError() = 123 after delay load, __imp_WSAGetLastError = 00007FFF191FA720 after plain write, __imp_WSAGetLastError = 000000000012D687 ``` Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secbp/pe-metadata#import-handling Co-authored-by: Jeremy Drake <sourceware-bugzilla@jdrake.com> Signed-off-by: LIU Hao <lh_mouse@126.com> Signed-off-by: Jeremy Drake <sourceware-bugzilla@jdrake.com>
2025-06-11Arm tests: reduce objdump's output and improve some matching patternsMatthieu Longo4-29/+14
Linker scripts can change the sections order in the output. Some matching patterns in tests try to detect the end of a section by detecting the beginning of the next one. However, they mistakenly enforce the name of the next section without any need. This caused the tests to break due to minor changes to the linker scripts. This patch adds '-j <interesting-section>' to the arguments of objdump to dump only relevant information for the tests. This removed the issue related to the ordering of the sections. The matching patterns were also made stricter to match better the expected output.
2025-06-11ld/PE: special-case relocation types only for COFF inputsJan Beulich1-4/+5
In 72cd2c709779 ("ld/PE: no base relocs for section (relative) ones") I made a pre-existing problem quite a bit worse: When looking at a relocation's (numerical) howto->type, that value is meaningful only if the object was of corresponding COFF type. ELF objects in particular have their own enumeration. As it stands, specifically the not entirely unusual R_X86_64_32 and R_X86_64_32S did no longer have relocations emitted for them, due to matching R_AMD64_SECTION and R_AMD64_SECREL in value respectively.
2025-06-11AArch64 variant PCS tests: remove RWX permissions on segmentsMatthieu Longo4-114/+124
The symbols of variant PCS functions require special handling. The variant PCS tests check both the relocation information and the markings in the symbol table. Those tests dump a lot of addresses, so a custom linker script, variant_pcs.ld was used to control reliably the addresses of the sections. However, the linker script does not provide information enough to the linker to assess the right set of permisssions on segments (i.e. Read/Write/Execute). This insufficiency caused the linker to bundle all the sections in a same segment with the union of all the required permissions, i.e. RWX. A segment with such lax permissions constitutes a security hole, so the linker emits the following warning message: <ELF file> has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions. This warning message is noisy in the tests, and has no reason to exist. This issue can be addressed in two ways: - either by providing the right set of permissions on a section so that the linker assigns them to a segment with compatible permissions. - or by providing alignment constraints so that the linker can move the sections automatically to a new segment and set the right permission for non-executable data. The second option seems to be the preferred approach, even if not explicitly recommended. Examples of linker scripts for AArch64 are available at [1]. This patch reorganizes the linker script to eliminate RWX segments by changing the order of the sections and their offset. The tests needed to be amended to match the new addresses.

2025-06-11AArch64 BTI/PAC PLT tests: remove RWX permissions on segmentsMatthieu Longo18-59/+86
The bti-far.ld and bti-plt.ld scripts don't provide information enough to the linker to assess the right set of permisssions on segments (i.e. Read/Write/Execute). This insufficiency caused the linker to bundle all the sections in a same segment with the union of all the required permissions, i.e. RWX. A segment with such lax permissions constitutes a security hole, so the linker emits the following warning message: <ELF file> has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions. This warning message is noisy in the tests, and has no reason to exist.

The second option seems to be the preferred approach, even if not explicitly recommended. Examples of linker scripts for AArch64 are available at [1]. The fixes in bti-far.ld and bti-plt.ld are the same, except that bti-far.ld also contains a ".far" section, to make sure that it generates the trampolines correctly.

2025-06-11AArch64 tests: remove RWX permissions on segmentsMatthieu Longo6-56/+61
aarch64.ld is the linker script used by most of the relocation tests in AArch64 testsuite. The script does not provide information enough to the linker to assess the right set of permisssions on segments (i.e. Read/Write/Execute). This insufficiency caused the linker to bundle all the sections in a same segment with the union of all the required permissions, i.e. RWX.

2025-06-10AArch64, Arm and TIC6x tests: fix typo in linker scriptsMatthieu Longo11-12/+12
The linker scripts for AArch64 and TIC6x were probably originally copied from Arm testsuite, and contain the same typo in the name of the attributes section. This patch fixes the typo across all the testsuites.
