2016-05-03[AArch64] Also puts value in place for R_AARCH64_RELATIVEJiong Wang1-0/+5
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.

2016-02-26Properly implement STT_COMMONH.J. Lu1-0/+8
The BFD configure option, --enable-elf-stt-common, can't be to used to verify STT_COMMON implementation with the normal binutils build. Instead, this patch removes it from BFD. It adds --elf-stt-common=[no|yes] to ELF assembler/objcopy and adds -z common/-z nocommon to ld. A configure option, --enable-elf-stt-common, is added to gas to specify whether ELF assembler should generate common symbols with the STT_COMMON type by default.

2016-02-26[x86] Resolve non-PIC undefweak symbols in executableH.J. Lu1-0/+6
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.

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/+16
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.

2014-04-04Document optional comma in linker script.Cary Coutant1-2/+7
The linker script documentation does not mention the optional comma that may follow an output section command or an overlay command. In some cases, where a fill expression is used, and the next output section command begins with an operator (e.g., "/DISCARD/"), the comma may be required to separate the two commands. Currently, GNU ld doesn't require the comma, but gold does. ld/ PR gold/16804 * ld.texinfo: Document optional comma following output section command and overlay command.
