RISC-V: Clarify the addends of pc-relative access.
The original discussion was here, https://github.com/riscv/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/issues/184 After discussing with Kito Cheng, I think the addends of %pcrel_hi and %pcrel_lo are both allowed in GNU toolchain. However, both of the them mean the offset of symbols, rather than the pc address. But the addends of %got_pcrel_hi and it's %pcrel_lo do not look reasonable. I believe gcc won't generate the got patterns with addends, so linker should report dangerous relocation errors, in case the assembly code use them. Another issue was here, https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2021-June/116983.html At the beginnig, I suppose %pcrel_hi and %pcrel_lo are valid only when they are in the same input section. But Jim Wilson points out that gcc may generate %hi and %lo in the different input sections, when -freorder-blocks-and-partition option is used. So that a memory references for a loop may have the %hi outside the loop, but the %lo remain in the loop. However, it is hard to create the testcases, to see if %pcrel_hi and %pcrel_lo have the same behavior. Unfortunately, I notice that the current pcrel resolver cannot work for the above case. For now we build a hash table for pcrel at the start of riscv_elf_relocate_section, and then free the hash at the end. But riscv_elf_relocate_section only handles an input section at a time, so that means we can only resolve the %pcrel_hi and %pcrel_lo which are in the same input section. Otherwise, like the above case, we will report "%pcrel_lo missing matching %pcrel_hi" for them. I have no plan to improve this in the short-term, so maybe we can wait until someone meets the problem before we deal with it. bfd/ * elfnn-riscv.c (riscv_pcrel_hi_reloc): Added field to store the original relocation type, in case the type is converted to R_RISCV_HI20.
