- Load symbols before allocation.
- Parse reloc records and place any reloc recs in a cache to use
while the allocator is locked.
- Relocate symbols after section allocation.
- Split section loading into allocation/locating and loading.
- Update all arch back-ends with a new reloc interface to control
tramp handling.
- Add `-a` and `-t` to the object list shell command.
Closes#3741
- Add support for architecure sections that can be handled by the
architecture back end.
- Add trampoline/fixup support for PowerPC. This means the PowerPC
now supports large memory loading of applications.
- Add a bit allocator to manage small block based regions of memory.
- Add small data (sdata/sbss) support for the PowerPC. The support
makes the linker allocated small data region of memory a global
resource available to libdl loaded object files.
Updates #3687
Updates #3685
- Trampolines or fixups for veneers provide long jump support
for instruciton sets that implement short relative address
branches. The linker provides trampolines when creating a
static image. This patch adds trampoline support to libdl
and the ARM architecture.
- The dl09 test requires enough memory so modules are outside
the relative branch instruction ranges for the architecture.
Updates #3685
