BaseTools/GenFw AARCH64: Convert more types of explicit GOT references
Rebecca reports that builds of AArch64 DSCs that involve PIE linking
when using ELF based toolchains are failing in some cases, resulting in
an error message like
bad definition for symbol '_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_'@0x72d8 or
unsupported symbol type. For example, absolute and undefined symbols
are not supported.
The reason turns out to be that, while GenFw does carry some logic to
convert GOT based symbol references into direct ones (which is always
possible given that our ELF to PE/COFF conversion only supports fully
linked executables), it does not support all possible combinations of
relocations that the linker may emit to load symbol addresses from the
GOT.
In particular, when performing a non-LTO link on object code built with
GCC using -fpie, we may end up with GOT based references such as the one
below, where the address of the GOT itself is taken, and the offset of
the symbol in the GOT is reflected in the immediate offset of the
subsequent LDR instruction.
838: adrp x0, 16000
838: R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
83c: ldr x0, [x0, #2536]
83c: R_AARCH64_LD64_GOTPAGE_LO15 _gPcd_BinaryPatch_PcdFdBaseAddress
The reason that we omit GOT based symbol references when performing ELF to
PE/COFF conversion is that the GOT is not described by static ELF
relocations, which means that the ELF file lacks the metadata to
generate the PE/COFF relocations covering the GOT table in the PE/COFF
executable. Given that none of the usual motivations for using a GOT
(copy on write footprint, shared libraries) apply to EFI executables in
the first place, the easiest way around this is to convert all GOT based
symbol address loads to PC relative ADR/ADRP instructions.
So implement this handling for R_AARCH64_LD64_GOTPAGE_LO15 and
R_AARCH64_LD64_GOTOFF_LO15 relocations as well, and turn the LDR
instructions in question into ADR instructions that generate the
address immediately.
This leaves the reference to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ itself, which is what
generated the error to begin with. Considering that this symbol is never
referenced (i.e., it doesn't appear anywhere in the code) and is only
meaningful in combination with R_*_GOT_* based relocations that follow
it, we can just disregard any references to it entirely, given that we
convert all of those followup relocations into direct references.
