The .note.ABI-tag section exists to indicate to other projects (like gdb
or library loaders) information about the target OS. It doesn't actually
contain anything that is used at runtime. So while the current linker
script gathers this into the .data section, the final FLAT doesn't include
anything from it. But tools expect to find a dedicated section in ELFs
which the current section merge prevents.^M

When we converted ld-elf2flt from the shell script to C, one small nuance
was missed: argv[0] contains the full path only when invoked with the full
path. This is not the same behavior for shell scripts as $0 is always the
full path to the script in question. Most of the time this isn't an issue
as gcc will invoke all of its tools (like the linker) with a full relative
path to itself. However, if we attempt to invoke the linker directly, we
can see misbehavior such as:
bfin-uclinux-ld.real: cannot open linker script file ./../lib/elf2flt.ld:
No such file or directory
So, to fix this, we lean on more libiberty functions. Specifically, the
make_relative_prefix() function. This function locates a full argv[0] by
scanning $PATH to see where it was invoked. This might sound a little
dodgy, but this is fundamental to how gcc and binutils implement support
for their runtime relocation, so it can't break ld-elf2flt without first
breaking every one else ;).
In the fall out of this fix, we can cull a bunch of local code that does
custom path parsing. So not only do we get to fix an annoying bug, we get
to shrink code in the process.

Here is a patch to fix a ``misunderstanding'' between the kernel (bflt
loader) and GDB; noticed on m68k / coldfire uClinux.
Lacking specific directives in the linker script, the linker *may* decide
to put .text and .data into the same segment:
Section to Segment mapping:
Segment Sections...
00 .text .data .eh_frame_hdr .eh_frame .bss
01 .eh_frame_hdr
The bflt loader in the kernel will, however, add a small extra data table
just before .data's content (cf. handling of MAX_SHARED_LIBS in
binfmt_flat.c:load_flat_file).
Now, if .text and .data are in the same segment, directly following each
other in the binary file, but have that extra data table added in the
run-time memory layout, GDB will get very confused when trying to access
items in the now-moved .data section. Without any kernel (loader) / GDB
changes, the solution is to tell the linker to always put .text and .data
into separate segments, which GDB will handle gracefully then.
Section to Segment mapping:
Segment Sections...
00 .text
01 .data .eh_frame_hdr .eh_frame .bss
Tested on m68k-uclinux (where the problem occurred) and arm-uclinuxeabi
(no regressions).

We should link against -lc before any of the binutils libs (libiberty/bfd)
as those libs provide replacements for some common functions we don't really
care about (like getopt). Otherwise, if the C library does something wacky
in its API (like renaming symbols), we get a desync where some symbols are
provided by the binutils libs while others are provided by the C library.
For a concrete example, try building elf2flt on OS X 10.5. Their stupid
headers do this in unistd.h:
int getopt(int, char * const [], const char *) __asm("_" "getopt" "$UNIX2003");
The resulting elf2flt binaries are incapable of properly parsing any option
given to them.

This patch allows elf2flt/flthdr's compression options to work in a wider
variety of environments (e.g. under MinGW/Win32), by linking with zlib

I hit a random failure in elf2flt (not elf2flt's fault, I was screwing with
ELFs and LMAs/VMAs), but the resulting error message was useless:
malloc: Cannot allocate memory
Since I was executing `...-gcc` at the time, where exactly this error message
was coming from was hard to say. So instead of using malloc() and then doing
a simple 'perror("malloc"); exit(1);' in the elf2flt.c code, it'd be better
for everyone if we used the xmalloc() funcs from libiberty. We're already
linking elf2flt against libiberty, so there's no extra headers/libs to link
against.
Now the crash looks like:

The problem seems to be that the one and only call to xmalloc()
in elf2flt.c does not return a valid pointer for some reason.
I'm wondering why xmalloc() is used exactly once in elf2flt.c.
All other heap allocations in elf2flt are done with plain malloc().
The attached patch fixes the segfault by replacing the call to xmalloc()
with a call to malloc(). It also makes elf2flt check for return
values of malloc() calls, providing the equivalent behaviour of
using xmalloc().

Before I delve in the long (sorry) RFC below, I've been taking:
http://www.ucdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/11/25/
1126257&mode=thread
and:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=adding_libraries
as more-or-less definitive descriptions of how shared flat libraries
should be built and used. Please let me know if they aren't, and if
there's another recipe somewhere.
Anyway, the RFC is about two issues:
(1) Shared libraries usually have some symbols that are internally
STB_GLOBAL (because they are shared between more than one input
object) but which should nevertheless be treated as local to
the library as a whole; they shouldn't be exported to users
of the library. According to the article above, the usual
way to arrange this is to run:
objcopy -L <sym1> -L <sym2> ... foo.gdb
on the linked foo.gdb library. That certainly works, but
maintaining the list of symbols can be a bit cumbersome.
I think it would help a lot if ld-elf2flt automatically localised
symbols with hidden and internal visibility. This would allow
users to localise symbols in the library source code -- via gcc
attributes or assembly directives -- and would eliminate one
difference between shared flat libraries and shared ELF libraries.
If the library's source code hides all the appropriate symbols --
which the source code for many ELF-leaning libraries do, unless their
build system relies on something like "local:" directives in version
scripts -- then no separate -L list is needed.
(2) If a shared library and a user of a shared library both define
some symbol foo, you don't get a redefinition warning or error.
However, if the symbols are a different size, you _do_ get a warning
about that.
To me, this seems like the worst of both worlds. I can see cases
where the user would want to be told about any redefinition, and
would want a command-line option to enable that behaviour. That's
a separate issue that I'm not tackling here.
But when redefinitions are silently allowed, warning about changes
in size seems a little pointless. Shared flat libraries can't
really refer back to symbols defined by the user of the library
(such as the executable); all symbol references are resolved
when the library is statically linked. Shared flat libraries
act a lot like a restricted form of ELF -Bsymbolic libraries.
Thus having a different size of symbol S in shared library X and
user Y is very unlikely to be an issue unless the redefinition of
S is itself an issue. X is not going to refer directly to Y's
definition of S. And if you create, say, a shared C library that
includes all the C library functions needed by at least one
program on the system, it's likely that some programs will have
harmless symbol name clashes. For example, some programs might be
written with just standard C in mind, and use symbols that clash
with a POSIX, GNU or uClibc extension.
I think it would help if we weakened the exported symbols. This
would tell the linker that the symbols are only there if needed,
and that the user of the library is free to use the symbol for
something else. This wouldn't affect the redefinition diagnostic;
if that diagnostic is ever implemented, it should apply to both
global and weak symbols, because in both cases we'll have two
definitions of the same symbol.
Comments? Does this sound reasonable sane?
In case it does, the patch below implements both (1) and (2). (1) is
simple with CVS objcopy, which now has a --localize-hidden option:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2006-06/msg00204.html
Sadly, that option won't appear in an FSF release before 2.18, so I've
provided a fall-back that uses objdump and sed instead. (2) is easy
with the long-standing --weaken option.
FWIW, the patch has been tested fairly extensively on Coldfire with
shared C and C++ libraries, as well as with ad-hoc libraries. No
post-processing of these libraries was needed: you could just link with
ld-elf2flt and use the output directly.
I've tested both the --localize-hidden and fallback versions.

This patch adds elf2flt support for prioritised constructors and destructors,
but only when --enable-emit-relocs is in effect.
GCC puts prioritised constructors and destructors in special .ctor.N
and .dtor.N sections (where N encodes the priority). The constructors
and destructors in these sections have a lower priority than those
in the default .ctor and .dtor sections. However, we need to treat
the crtbegin.o's and crtend.o's sections specially; crtbegin.o's .[cd]tor
sections must come before all the other .[cd]tor* contents and crtend.o's
.[cd]tor sections must come after all other contents.
In --disable-emit-relocs links, it wasn't possible to treat crtbegin.o
and crtend.o specially. ld-elf2flt would do:
ld -r -o foo.elf2flt ...input objects...
| |
ld -r -o foo.elf foo.elf2flt -T script |
|
ld -o foo.gdb foo.elf2flt -T script
so all the input .[cd]tor sections would already be lumped together by the
time the script was used. This isn't a problem for --enable-emit-relocs as
it only links once.
The patch copies the [cd]tor support from the standard binutils linker
script. The question is: should the new lines be used unconditionally,
or only when --enable-emit-relocs is in effect?
We could use the new lines for --disable-emit-relocs without breaking
programs that don't use prioritised [cd]tors. However, it would be a user
interface regression for programs that _do_ use them. At the moment,
if you try to use prioritised [cd]tors with --disable-emit-relocs,
you get a linker error like this:
error: no memory region specified for loadable section `.ctors.60535'
With the new lines, the link would silently succeed, and you'd get a
runtime failure instead. I've therefore guarded the lines with
"SINGLE_LINK:", a bit like the "W_RODAT" stuff that's already there.
Tested on Coldfire, with both --enable-emit-relocs and
--disable-emit-relocs. It fixes the GCC ecos.exp tests.
Please install if OK.
