RISC-V: Clarify the behaviors of SET/ADD/SUB relocations.
We are used to generate these kinds of relocations by data directives. Considering the following example, .word (A + 3) - (B + 2) The GAS will generate a pair of ADD/SUB for this, R_RISCV_ADD, A + 1 R_RISCV_SUB, 0 The addend of R_RISCV_SUB will always be zero, and the summary of the constants will be stored in the addend of R_RISCV_ADD/SET. Therefore, we can always add the addend of these data relocations when doing relocations. But unfortunately, I had heard that if we are using .reloc to generate the data relocations will make the relocations failed. Refer to this, .reloc offset, R_RISCV_ADD32, A + 3 .reloc offset, R_RISCV_SUB32, B + 2 .word 0 Then we can get the relocations as follows, R_RISCV_ADD, A + 3 R_RISCV_SUB, B + 2 Then... Current LD does the relocation, B - A + 3 + 2, which is wrong obviously... So first of all, this patch fixes the wrong relocation behavior of R_RISCV_SUB* relocations. Afterwards, considering the uleb128 direcitve, we will get a pair of SET_ULEB128/SUB_ULEB128 relocations for it for now, .uleb128 (A + 3) - (B + 2) R_RISCV_SET_ULEB128, A + 1 R_RISCV_SUB_ULEB128, B + 1 Which looks also wrong obviously, the summary of the constants should only be stored into the addend of SET_ULEB128, and the addend of SUB_ULEB128 should be zero like other SUB relocations. But the current LD will still get the right relocation values since we only add the addend of SUB_ULEB128 by accident... Anyway, this patch also fixes the behaviors above, to make sure that no matter using .uleb128 or .reloc directives, we should always get the right values. bfd/ * elfnn-riscv.c (perform_relocation): Clarify that SUB relocations should substract the addend, rather than add. (riscv_elf_relocate_section): Since SET_ULEB128 won't go into perform_relocation, we should add it's addend here in advance. gas/ * config/tc-riscv.c (riscv_insert_uleb128_fixes): Set the addend of SUB_ULEB128 to zero since it should already be added into the addend of SET_ULEB128.
