[BFD, LD, AArch64, 2/3] Add --force-bti to enable BTI and to select BTI enabled PLTs
This is part of the patch series to add support for BTI and PAC in AArch64 linker. 1) This patch adds a new ld command line option: --force-bti. In the presence of this option, the linker enables BTI with the GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI feature. This gives out warning in case of missing gnu notes for BTI in inputs. 2) It also defines a new set of BTI enabled PLTs. These are used either when all the inputs are marked with GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI or when the new --force-bti option is used. This required adding new fields in elf_aarch64_link_hash_table so that we could make the PLT related information more generic. 3) It also defines a dynamic tag DT_AARCH64_BTI_PLT. The linker uses this whenever it picks BTI enabled PLTs. All these are made according to the new AArch64 ELF ABI https://developer.arm.com/docs/ihi0056/latest/elf-for-the-arm-64-bit-architecture-aarch64-abi-2018q4 *** bfd/ChangeLog *** 2019-03-13 Sudakshina Das <sudi.das@arm.com> Szabolcs Nagy <szabolcs.nagy@arm.com> * bfd-in.h (aarch64_plt_type, aarch64_enable_bti_type): New.
