2021-07-05ld: Cache and reuse the IR archive file descriptorH.J. Lu1-0/+1
Linker plugin_object_p opens the IR archive for each IR archive member. For GCC plugin, plugin_object_p closes the archive file descriptor. But for LLVM plugin, the archive file descriptor remains open. If there are 3000 IR archive members, there are 3000 file descriptors for them. We can run out of file descriptors petty easily. 1. Add archive_plugin_fd and archive_plugin_fd_open_count to bfd so that we can cache and reuse the IR archive file descriptor for all IR archive members in the archive. 2. Add bfd_plugin_close_file_descriptor to properly close the IR archive file descriptor. bfd/ PR ld/28040 * archive.c (_bfd_archive_close_and_cleanup): Close the archive plugin file descriptor if needed. * bfd.c (bfd): Add archive_plugin_fd and archive_plugin_fd_open_count. * opncls.c (_bfd_new_bfd): Initialize to -1. * plugin.c (bfd_plugin_open_input): Cache and reuse the archive plugin file descriptor.

2020-03-02bfd_cleanup for object_pAlan Modra1-1/+1
The object_p (and archive_p, core_file_p) functions are not supposed to have any target specific malloc'd memory attached to the bfd on their return. This should be obvious on a failure return, but it's also true for a successful return. The reason is that even though the object_p recognises the file, that particular target may not be used and thus the bfd won't be closed calling close_and_cleanup for the target that allocated the memory. It turns out that the object_p bfd_target* return value isn't needed. In all cases except ld/plugin.c the target is abfd->xvec and with ld/plugin.c the target isn't used. So this patch returns a cleanup function from object_p instead, called in bfd_check_format_matches to tidy the bfd before trying a different target match. The only cleanup that does anything at this stage is the alpha-vms one. bfd/ * targets.c (bfd_cleanup): New typedef.

Linker plugin_maybe_claim is the interface of linker plugin support.
