2024-09-24ld: support --build-id=xx modeFrank Ch. Eigler1-11/+11
The is patch adds a new ld build-id computation mode, "xx", using xxhash in its 128-bit mode. The patch prereqs the xxhash-devel headers being installed, and uses the "all-inlined" model, so no run-time or link-time library dependence exists. The xxhash mode performs well, saving roughly 20% of total userspace run time from an ld job over a 800MB shared library relative to sha1. 128 bits of good hash should be collision-resistant to a number of distinct binaries that numbers in the 2**32 - 2**64 range, even if not "crypto" level hash. Confirmations of this are in progress. ld/configury: add --with-xxhash mode, different from gdb case because only using it in inline mode ld/ldbuildid.c: add "xx" mode, #if WITH_XXHASH ld/NEWS, ld.texi: mention new option ld/lexsup.c: add enumeration of --build-id STYLES to --help ld/testsuite/ld-elf/build-id.exp: add test case for 0xHEX case and conditional for xx case; also, simply tcl list syntax https://inbox.sourceware.org/binutils/20240917201509.GB26396@redhat.com/ Signed-off-by: Frank Ch.

2023-09-29x86-64: Add -z mark-plt and -z nomark-pltH.J. Lu1-0/+11
The PLT entry in executables and shared libraries contains an indirect branch, like jmp *foo@GOTPCREL(%rip) push $index_foo jmp .PLT0 or endbr64 jmp *foo@GOTPCREL(%rip) NOP padding which is used to branch to the function, foo, defined in another object. Each R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT relocation has a corresponding PLT entry. The dynamic tags have been added to the x86-64 psABI to mark such PLT entries: https://gitlab.com/x86-psABIs/x86-64-ABI/-/commit/6d824a52a42d173eb838b879616c1be5870b593e Add an x86-64 linker option, -z mark-plt, to mark PLT entries with #define DT_X86_64_PLT (DT_LOPROC + 0) #define DT_X86_64_PLTSZ (DT_LOPROC + 1) #define DT_X86_64_PLTENT (DT_LOPROC + 3) 1.

2023-07-17Support NEXT_SECTION in ALIGNOF and SIZEOFAlan Modra1-7/+14
This patch is aimed at making __bss_start properly aligned with the first of any bss-style sections following. Most of the work here involves keeping track of the last output section seen when processing the linker script. You can almost align __bss_start properly by using ${RELOCATING+. = ALIGN(${DATA_SDATA-${NO_SMALL_DATA-ALIGNOF(.${SBSS_NAME}) != 0 ? ALIGNOF(.${SBSS_NAME}) : }}${BSS_PLT+ALIGNOF(.plt) != 0 ? ALIGNOF(.plt) : }ALIGNOF(.${BSS_NAME}));} and changing every place that defines NO_SMALL_DATA to use " ", but having two .plt sections (marked SPECIAL) on some backends foils that idea. The problem is that you only want to pick up the following .plt, not the one preceeding __bss_start in the data segment if the backend decides that is the proper .plt section. Perhaps that could be fixed too, but I decided instead to extend the linker script a little. THIS_SECTION and PREV_SECTION could easily be added too. * ld.texi (ALIGNOF, SIZEOF): Update and mention NEXT_SECTION. * ldexp.c (output_section_find): New function.

2023-05-13PR28902, -T script with INSERT orderingAlan Modra1-1/+8
The answer to PR28902 may be deduced from the existing INSERT documentation that says the default script is parsed after the -T INSERT script, if you assume (correctly) that nothing special is done when inserting into -T scripts overriding the default script. In both cases INSERT handling looks for the specified output section later on the internal list of parsed script commands. This isn't obvious though, so make the ordering explicit, and mention that section assignments are the same too. PR 28902 * ld.texi (INSERT): Specify ordering when -T is used both to override the default script and to augment.

Revert "Prevent the ASCII linker script directive from generating huge amounts of padding if the size expression is not a constant." This reverts commit adbe951fc95943016325af08d677f18e8c177ac1. Revert "ld test asciz and ascii fails" This reverts the ascii.d part of commit 5f497256bee624f0fa470949aa41534093bc5b25. Revert "Add support for the ASCII directive inside linker scripts." This mostly reverts commit 9fe129a4105bb59398f73ce96938a94f19265b79 leaving the asciz.d and asciz.t changes in place.
