2018-01-12Add -z undefs option to the ELF linker.Nick Clifton1-0/+3
Currently we have no obvious way to revert the action of the "-z defs" command line option. The "--unresolved-symbols=ignore-in-object-files" does pretty much what is needed, but it is non-obvious and it also touches the setting for reporting unresolved symbol references from shared libraries. So I am proposing adding a "-z undefs" option to be the inverse of "-z defs". (I thought that "-z nodefs" might be confusing since it implies banning all definitions, rather than allowing them). In addition the description of the "-z defs" option in the linker documentation is misleading in one place, where it says: 'defs' Disallows undefined symbols in object files. Undefined symbols in shared libraries are still allowed. whereas later on it gets it right: '-z defs' Report unresolved symbol references from regular object files. This is done even if the linker is creating a non-symbolic shared library. The switch '--[no-]allow-shlib-undefined' controls the behaviour for reporting unresolved references found in shared libraries being linked in. * emultempl/elf32.em (_handle_option): Add support for "-z undefs" as the opposite of "-z defs". * ld.texinfo: Document the new option. Update the description of the -z defs option to make it clear that it does generate an error if an undefined symbol reference is found in an object file whilst creating a shared library. * NEWS: Document this new feature.

2017-06-22x86: Support Intel IBT with IBT property and IBT-enable PLTH.J. Lu1-0/+9
To support IBT in Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) instructions: https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/4d/2a/control-flow-enforcement-technology-preview.pdf #define GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_AND 0xc0000002 #define GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT (1U << 0) are added to GNU program properties to indicate that all executable sections are compatible with IBT when ENDBR instruction starts each valid target where an indirect branch instruction can land. GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT is set on output only if it is set on all relocatable inputs. The followings changes are made to the Procedure Linkage Table (PLT): 1. For 64-bit x86-64, PLT is changed to PLT0: push GOT[1] bnd jmp *GOT[2] nop ... PLTn: endbr64 push namen_reloc_index bnd jmp PLT0 together with the second PLT section: PLTn: endbr64 bnd jmp *GOT[namen_index] nop BND prefix is also added so that IBT-enabled PLT is compatible with MPX. 2. For 32-bit x86-64 (x32) and i386, PLT is changed to PLT0: push GOT[1] jmp *GOT[2] nop ... PLTn: endbr64 # endbr32 for i386. push namen_reloc_index jmp PLT0 together with the second PLT section: PLTn: endbr64 # endbr32 for i386. jmp *GOT[namen_index] nop BND prefix isn't used since MPX isn't supported on x32 and BND registers aren't used in parameter passing on i386. GOT is an array of addresses. Initially, GOT[namen_index] is filled with the address of the ENDBR instruction of the corresponding entry in the first PLT section. The function, namen, is called via the ENDBR instruction in the second PLT entry. GOT[namen_index] is updated to the actual address of the function, namen, at run-time. 2 linker command line options are added: 1. -z ibtplt: Generate IBT-enabled PLT. 2. -z ibt: Generate GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT in GNU program properties as well as IBT-enabled PLT. bfd/ * elf32-i386.c (elf_i386_lazy_ibt_plt0_entry): New.

2017-06-06ld: Allow section groups to be resolved as part of a relocatable linkAndrew Burgess1-0/+5
This commit adds a new linker feature: the ability to resolve section groups as part of a relocatable link. Currently section groups are automatically resolved when performing a final link, and are carried through when performing a relocatable link. By carried through this means that one copy of each section group (from all the copies that might be found in all the input files) is placed into the output file. Sections that are part of a section group will not match input section specifiers within a linker script and are forcibly kept as separate sections. There is a slight resemblance between section groups and common section. Like section groups, common sections are carried through when performing a relocatable link, and resolved (allocated actual space) only at final link time. However, with common sections there is an ability to force the linker to allocate space for the common sections when performing a relocatable link, there's currently no such ability for section groups. This commit adds such a mechanism. This new facility can be accessed in two ways, first there's a command line switch --force-group-allocation, second, there's a new linker script command FORCE_GROUP_ALLOCATION. If one of these is used when performing a relocatable link then the linker will resolve the section groups as though it were performing a final link, the section group will be deleted, and the members of the group will be placed like normal input sections. If there are multiple copies of the group (from multiple input files) then only one copy of the group members will be placed, the duplicate copies will be discarded. Unlike common sections that have the --no-define-common command line flag, and INHIBIT_COMMON_ALLOCATION linker script command there is no way to prevent group resolution during a final link, this is because the ELF gABI specifically prohibits the presence of SHT_GROUP sections in a fully linked executable. However, the code as written should make adding such a feature trivial, setting the new resolve_section_groups flag to false during a final link should work as you'd expect. bfd/ChangeLog: * elf.c (_bfd_elf_make_section_from_shdr): Don't initially mark SEC_GROUP sections as SEC_EXCLUDE.

Mark an ALLOC section, which should be placed in special memory area, with SHF_GNU_MBIND. Its sh_info field indicates the special memory type. GNU_MBIND section names start with ".mbind" so that they are placed as orphan sections by linker. All input GNU_MBIND sections with the same sh_type, sh_flags and sh_info are placed in one output GNU_MBIND section. In executable and shared object, create a GNU_MBIND segment for each GNU_MBIND section and its segment type is PT_GNU_MBIND_LO plus the sh_info value.

2017-03-09ld: Track changes to default region LMA even for empty sectionsAndrew Burgess1-0/+3
Given a linker script fragment like this: SECTIONS { . = 0x1000; .text : AT(0x100) { *(.text) } .data : AT(0x200) { *(.data) } .rodata : AT(0x300) { *(.rodata) } } and an input file containing sections, '.text', '.data.1', and '.rodata', then we'd expect the linker to place '.text' and '.rodata' in the obvious way, and the '.data.1' orphan section would be located after the '.data' section (assuming similar section properties). Further, I believe that the expectation would be that the LMA for the orphan '.data.1' section would start from 0x200 (as there is no '.data' content). However, right now, the LMA for '.data.1' would be 0x101, following on from the '.text' section, this is because the change in LMA for the '.data' section is not noticed by the linker, if there's no content in the '.data' section. What can be even more confusing to a user (though the cause is obvious once you understand what's going on) is that adding some content to '.data' will cause the orphan '.data.1' to switch to an LMA based off of 0x200. This commit changes the behaviour so that an empty section that is in the default lma region, and sets its lma, will adjust the lma of the default region, this change will then be reflected in following sections within the default lma memory region. There's a new test to cover this issue that passes on a range of targets, however, some targets generate additional sections, or have stricter memory region size requirements that make it harder to come up with a generic pass pattern, that still tests the required features. For now I've set the test to ignore these targets. ld/ChangeLog: * ldlang.c (lang_size_sections_1): Shortcut loop only after tracking changes to the default regions LMA. * testsuite/ld-elf/orphan-9.ld: Extend header comment. * testsuite/ld-elf/orphan-10.d: New file. * testsuite/ld-elf/orphan-10.s: New file. * NEWS: Mention change in behaviour.
2017-03-09ld: better handling of lma region for orphan sectionsAndrew Burgess1-0/+3
When picking an lma_region for an orphan section we currently create a new lang_output_section_statement_type and then populate this with the orphan section. The problem is that the lang_output_section_statement_type has a prev pointer that links back to the previous output section. For non-orphan output sections, that are created in linker script order, the prev pointer will point to the output section that appears previous in linker script order, as you'd probably expect. The problem is that orphan sections are placed after processing the linker script, and so, in the case of an output section created for an orphan input section, the prev pointer actually points to the last output section created. This causes some unexpected behaviour when the orphan section is not placed after the last non-orphan section that was created. For example, consider this linker script: MEMORY { TEXT : ORIGIN = 0x200, LENGTH = 0x10 RODATA : ORIGIN = 0x400, LENGTH = 0x10 } SECTIONS { .text : {*(.text) } AT>TEXT .data : AT(0x300) { *(.data) } .rodata : { *(.rodata) } AT>RODATA } If we are processing an orphan section '.data.1' and decide to place this after '.data', then the output section created will have a prev pointer that references the '.rodata' output section. The result of this is that '.data.1' will actually be assigned to the RODATA lma region, which is probably not the expected behaviour. The reason why '.data.1' is placed into the lma region of the '.rodata' section is that lma region propagation is done at the time we create the output section, based on the previous output section pointer, which is really just a last-output-section-created pointer at that point in time, though the prev point is fixed up later to reflect the true order of the output sections. The solution I propose in this commit is to move the propagation of lma regions into a separate pass of the linker, rather than performing this as part of the enter/exit of output sections during linker script parsing. During this later phase we have all of the output sections to hand, and the prev/next points have been fixed up by this point to reflect the actual placement ordering. There's a new test to cover this issue that passes on a range of targets, however, some targets generate additional sections, or have stricter memory region size requirements that make it harder to come up with a generic pass pattern, that still tests the required features. For now I've set the test to ignore these targets. ld/ChangeLog: * ldlang.c (lang_leave_output_section_statement): Move lma_region logic to... (lang_propagate_lma_regions): ...this new function.

2016-11-04ld: Allow EXCLUDE_FILE to be used outside of the section listAndrew Burgess1-0/+4
Currently the EXCLUDE_FILE linker script construct can only be used within the input section list, and applied only to the section pattern immediately following the EXCLUDE_FILE. For example: *.o (EXCLUDE_FILE (a.o) .text .rodata) In this case all sections matching '.text' are included from all files matching '*.o' but not from the file 'a.o'. All sections matching '.rodata' are also included from all files matching '*.o' (incluing from 'a.o'). If the user wants to restrict the inclusion of section '.rodata' so that this too is not taken from the file 'a.o' then the above example must be extended like this: *.o (EXCLUDE_FILE (a.o) .text EXCLUDE_FILE (a.o) .rodata) However, due to the internal grammar of the linker script language the snippet 'EXCLUDE_FILE (a.o) .text' is parsed by a pattern called 'wildcard_spec'. The same 'wildcard_spec' pattern is also used to parse the input file name snippet '*.o' in the above examples. As a result of this pattern reuse within the linker script grammar then the following is also a valid linker script construct: EXCLUDE_FILE (a.o) *.o (.text .rodata) However, though the linker accepts this without complaint the EXCLUDE_FILE part is silently ignored and has no effect. This commit takes this last example and makes it a useful, valid, construct. The last example now means to include sections '.text' and '.rodata' from all files matching '*.o' except for the file 'a.o'. If the list of input sections is long, and the user knows that the file exclusion applies across the list then the second form might be a clearer alternative to replicating the EXCLUDE_FILE construct. I've added a set of tests for EXCLUDE_FILE to the linker, including tests for the new functionality. ld/ChangeLog: * ldlang.h (struct lang_wild_statement_struct): Add exclude_name_list field. * ldlang.c (walk_wild_file_in_exclude_list): New function.

2016-05-03[AArch64] Also puts value in place for R_AARCH64_RELATIVEJiong Wang1-0/+3
When handling absolute relocations for global symbols bind within the shared object, AArch64 will generate one dynamic RELATIVE relocation, but won't apply the value for this absolution relocations at static linking stage. This is different from AArch64 gold linker and x86-64. This is not a bug as AArch64 is RELA, there is only guarantee that relocation addend is placed in the relocation entry. But some system softwares originally writen for x86-64 might assume AArch64 bfd linker gets the same behavior as x86-64, then they could take advantage of this buy skipping those RELATIVE dynamic relocations if the load address is the same as the static linking address. This patch makes AArch64 BFD linker applies absolution relocations at static linking stage for scenario described above. Meanwhile old AArch64 android loader has a bug (PR19163) which relies on current linker behavior as a workaround, so the same option --no-apply-dynamic-relocs added.

2016-02-26[x86] Resolve non-PIC undefweak symbols in executableH.J. Lu1-0/+3
For i386 and x86-64, non-PIC references to undefined weak symbols are resolved without dynamic relocation when creating executable. Resolved undefined weak symbols are removed from the dynamic symbol table in executable. One exception is on i386, we need resolved undefined weak symbols in the dynamic symbol table in PIE if input relocatable files contain branchs without PLT so that we can branch to 0 with dynamic relocation in text section. This makes behaviors of dynamic executable and position independent executable predictable with mixed PIC and non-PIC references to undefined weak symbols. If all references to undefined weak symbols are PIC, dynamic relocations against undefined weak symbols will be generated in executable unless -z nodynamic-undefined-weak is passed to linker. bfd/ PR ld/19636 PR ld/19704 PR ld/19719 * elf32-i386.c (UNDEFINED_WEAK_RESOLVED_TO_ZERO): New.

Replace the options --warn-orphan and --no-warn-orphan with a single option --orphan-handling=MODE, where mode can be place, warn, error, and discard. Mode 'place' is the default, and is the current behaviour, placing the orphan section into a suitable output section. Mode 'warn' is the same as '--warn-orphan'.

2015-08-04ld: Add '--require-defined' command line option.Andrew Burgess1-0/+3
Add a new command line option '--require-defined' to the linker. This option operates identically to the '--undefined' option, except that if the symbol is not defined in the final output file then the linker will exit with an error. When making use of --gc-section, or just when trying to pull in parts of a library, it is not uncommon for a user to use the '--undefined' command line option to specify a symbol that the user then expects to be defined by one of the object files supplied to the link. However, if for any reason the symbol is not satisfied by an object provided to the link the user will be left with an undefined symbol in the output file, instead of a defined symbol. In some cases the above behaviour is what the user wants, in other cases though we can do better. The '--require-defined' option tries to fill this gap. The symbol passed to the '--require-defined' option is treated exactly as if the symbol was passed to '--undefined', however, before the linker exits a check is made that all symbols passed to '--require-defined' are actually defined, if any are not then the link will fail with an error. ld/ChangeLog: * ld.texinfo (Options): Document --require-defined option. * ldlang.c (struct require_defined_symbol): New structure. (require_defined_symbol_list): New variable. (ldlang_add_require_defined): New function. (ldlang_check_require_defined_symbols): New function.
