It's actually quite hard to come up with simple tests that do *not* share
all their strings, but with enough ingenuity suitable cycles can be
concocted.
This test verifies that only and precisely those strings that are only used
in one child dict actually end up in its strtab.
ld/
* testsuite/ld-ctf/unshared-strings*: New test.
This commit finally implements strtab deduplication, putting together all
the pieces assembled in the earlier commits.
The magic is entirely localized to ctf_link_write, which preserializes all
the dicts (parent first), and calls ctf_dedup_strings on the parent.
(The error paths get tweaked a bit too.)
Calling ctf_dedup_strings has implications elsewhere: the lifetime rules for
the inputs versus outputs change a bit now that the child output dicts
contain references to the parent dict's atoms table. We also pre-purge
movable refs from all the deduplicated strings before freeing any of this
because movable refs contain backreferences into the dict they came from,
which means the parent contains references to all the children! Purging
the refs first makes those references go away so we can free the children
without creating any wild pointers, even temporarily.
There's a new testcase that identifies a regression whereby offset 0 (the
null string) and index 0 (in children now often the parent dict name,
".ctf") got mixed up, leading to anonymous structs and unions getting the
not entirely C-valid name ".ctf" instead.
May other testcases get adjusted to no longer depend on the precise layout
of the strtab.
TODO: add new tests to verify that strings are actually being deduplicated.

The first format difference between v3 and v4 is a cth_parent_strlen header
field. This field (obviously not present in BTF) is populated from the
string table length of the parent at serialization time (protection against
being serialized before the parent is will be added in a later commit in
this series), and will be used at open time to prohibit opening of dicts
with a different strlen (which would corrupt the child's string table
if it was shared with the parent).
For now, just add the field, populate it at serialization time when linking
(when not linking, no deduplication is done and the correct value remains
unchanged), and dump it.

This format is a superset of BTF, but for now we just do the minimum to
declare a new file format version, without actually introducing any format
changes.
From now on, we refuse to reserialize CTFv1 dicts: these have a distinct
parent/child boundary which obviously cannot change upon reserialization
(that would change the type IDs): instead, we encoded this by stuffing in
a unique CTF version for such dicts. We can't do that now we have one
version for all CTFv4 dicts, and testing such old dicts is very hard these
days anyway, and is not automated: so just drop support for writing them out
entirely. (You still *can* write them out, but you have to do a full-blown
ctf_link, which generates an all-new fresh dict and recomputes type IDs as
part of deduplication.)
To prevent this extremely-not-ready format escaping into the wild, add a
new mechanism whereby any format version higher than the new #define
CTF_STABLE_VERSION cannot be serialized unless I_KNOW_LIBCTF_IS_UNSTABLE is
set in the environment.

Those tests were generated by a linker having "-z separate-code" on by
default. However, being controlled by a configure option, it can be off
by default. Forcing the option as part of the tests ensures clean
results in both cases.
The ELF linker rejects use of this reloc type without a base register
for PIC code. Suppress its use by gas in such cases.
To keep things building for non-ELF, include the entire containing if()
in an #ifdef: All consumers of ->fx_tcbit* live in such conditionals as
well, hence there's no reason to keep the producer active.
With us doing the transformation to an immediate operand for MOV and
various ALU insns, there's little reason to then not support the same
conversion for the other two insns which have respective immediate
operand forms. Unfortunately for IMUL (due to the 0F opcode prefix)
there's no suitable relocation, so the pre-APX forms cannot be marked
for relaxation in the assembler.
Just like was done recently for x86-64 (commit 4998f9ea9d): Even if
the assembler avoids using the relaxable relocation for inapplicable
insns, the relocation type can still appear for other reasons. Be more
thorough in the opcode checking we do, to avoid bogusly altering other
insns.
Furthermore correct an opcode mask (even if with the added condition
that's now fully benign).
--disable-default-stack is an alias for --enable-default-execstack=no.
The existing check only looked for the latter config option.

GCC testsuite gcc.dg/20050321-2.c hit link errors on undefined
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. The compiler output referenced only
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_-offsets to set it up, and to compute the
GOT-relative address of local symbols, none of which triggered the
machinery that enabled the creation of the dynamic section, so
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ ended up undefined.

When sizing dynamic sections, elf_x86_64_scan_relocs converts GOTPCREL
relocations to R_X86_64_PC32, R_X86_64_32S or R_X86_64_32 for local
symbols. But at that time, since the output section layout is unknown,
the local symbol values can't be determined. Later linker issues an
error if the converted relocation overflows when resolving relocations
against these local symbols. Update the x86-64 ELF linker to estimate
output section layout before sizing dynamic sections and use the
preliminary output section layout info to skip the GOTPCREL relocation
conversion if the converted relocation overflows.

In the recent GOTPCREL addition I screwed up, in clearing the Rn bits
afterwards rather than setting them. While that ought to be benign (for
the bits being ignored in situations like this), we still want to leave
"canonical" encodings.
The pre-existing GOTTPOFF conversion wasn't doing quite correctly
either: We cannot assume the incoming Bn bits to be in a particular
state, as for the addressing form in question they're ignored as well.
To address both, introduce a helper function. This is then also an
overall reduction of (source) code size (and use of "magic" numbers).

Furthermore correct an opcode mask (even if with the added condition

If legacy-encoded arithmetic insns are eligible for @gotpcrel
relaxation, EVEX-encoded ones ought to be, too.
Further anything that MOV-from-memory can be used for (and transformed
from) should then also extend to MOVRS.
While extending the apx-load* testcases add -mrelax-relocations=yes to
the two ones which were missing this: Without this option the intended
testing would not occur on configurations defaulting the option to off.
When pure-code option is activated. The linker creates for M-profile architecures
a 2-bytes branch instruction. This causes the section alignment to be set to 2-byte
alignment instead of 4-byte alignment. This is a problem for long branch stub
without pure-code section as it contains a 32-bit address as data, which is expected
to be 4-byte aligned. Hence creating a long branch stub for PureCode section followed
by a long branch stub will result in a misalignment for the 32-bit address.
An easy fix is to add a nop instruction after the branch to keep the section alignment
to 4 bytes.

Commit 80dc29527f accidentally removed an assignment to board_flags,
resulting in tcl errors 'can't read "board_flags": no such variable'
on sh4-linux-gnu. Fix that by calling [get_board_flags] in the
condition rather than reinstating the removed line since it seems most
configurations don't have a null STATIC_LDFLAGS. Do the same in
another similar test too.
The GNU_PROPERTY_MEMORY_SEAL gnu property is a way to mark binaries
to be memory sealed by the loader, to avoid further changes of
PT_LOAD segments (such as unmapping or change permission flags).
This is done along with Linux kernel (the mseal syscall [1]), and
C runtime supports to instruct the kernel on the correct time during
program startup (for instance, after RELRO handling). This support
is added along the glibc support to handle the new gnu property [2].
This is a opt-in security features, like other security hardening
ones like NX-stack or RELRO.
The new property is ignored if present on ET_REL objects, and only
added on ET_EXEC/ET_DYN if the linker option is used. A gnu property
is used instead of DT_FLAGS_1 flag to allow memory sealing to work
with ET_EXEC without PT_DYNAMIC support (at least on glibc some ports
still do no support static-pie).

Both CFLAGS and LDFLAGS provided by dejagnu board configuration could be
required to perform a link.
Up to now, those flags were pulled with run_cc_link_tests and
run_ld_link_exec_tests and then passed to ld_link process as arguments.
This means that calling `ld_link` outside those functions must remember
to manually pass them.
Some tests are calling run_host_cmd in order to retrieve the
errors/warnings messages generated.
ld_link is also making them available through exec_output global
variable but as the advantages of taking the board configuration into
account unlike run_host_cmd.
Using $srcdir/$subdir directly doesn't work, at least not with expect
5.45, dejagnu 1.6, and an out-of-tree build (I assume it's the latter
aspect which is crucial here). Make use of load_file instead.
For PDE, "recompiling with -fPIE" just makes no sense.
For PIE, "recompiling with -fPIE" makes sense for unresolvable absolute
relocs, but not unresolveable PC-relative relocs: if the reloc is
already PC-relative, the problem is not the reloc is PC-relative or
absolute, but the reloc is not applicable for external symbols.
If we hit an unresolvable reloc in PDE or an unresolvable PC-relative
reloc in PIE, it means the programmer has somehow wrongly instructed the
compiler to treat external symbols as local symbols. A misuse of
-mdirect-extern-access can cause the issue, so we can suggest
-mno-direct-extern-access. And in all cases (DSO/PIE/PDE) a mismatching
symbol visibility can also cause the issue, so we should also suggest to
check the visibility.

In a static PIE, undefined weak symbols should be just resolved to
runtime address 0, like those symbols with non-default visibility. This
was silently broken in all prior Binutils releases with "-static-pie
-mdirect-extern-access":
$ cat t.c
int x (void) __attribute__ ((weak));
int
main (void)
{
__builtin_printf("%p\n", x);
}
$ gcc t.c -static-pie -mdirect-extern-access
$ ./a.out
0x7ffff1d64000
Since commit 4cb77761d6 ("LoongArch: Check PC-relative relocations for
shared libraries), the situation has been improved: the linker errors
out instead of silently producing a wrong output file.
But logically, using -mdirect-extern-access for a static PIE perfectly
makes sense, and we should not prevent that even if the programmer uses
weak symbols. Linux kernel is such an example, and Linux < 6.10 now
fails to build with Binutils trunk. (The silent breakage with prior
Binutils releases was "benign" due to some blind luck.)
While since the 6.10 release Linux has removed those potentially
undefined weak symbols (due to performance issue), we still should
support weak symbols in -mdirect-extern-access -static-pie and unbreak
building old kernels.

An undefined weak hidden/protect symbol should be resolved to runtime
address 0, but we were actually resolving it to link-time address 0. So
in PIE or DSO the runtime address would be incorrect.
Fix the issue by rewriting pcalau12i to lu12i.w, and pcaddi to addi.w.
The latter does not always work because the immediate field of addi.w is
narrower, report an error in the case the addend is too large.

This patch corrects layout for a PT_LOAD header that doesn't include
the ELF file header but does contain PHDRs and sections requiring
alignment. The required alignment (which was missing) is placed
before the PHDRs.
This test case requires host gcc, and different distributions have
different default configurations for gcc, which can cause address value
mismatches.
Therefore, it is fixed by passing consistent options and using regular
expressions.
As per the spec (Section 7.5.10, LoongArch Reference Manual Vol. 1),
LoongArch machines are not limited in page size choices, and currently
page sizes of 4KiB, 16KiB and 64KiB are supported by mainline Linux.
While 16KiB is the most common, the current BFD code says it is the
maximum; this is not correct, and as an effect, almost all existing
binaries are incompatible with a 64KiB kernel because the sections are
not sufficiently aligned, while being totally fine otherwise.
This is needlessly complicating integration testing [1].
This patch fixes the inconsistency, and also brings BFD behavior in line
with that of LLD [2].

For default linker script, if a symbol's value outsides the bounds of the
defined section, then it may cross the data segment alignment, so we should
reserve more size about MAXPAGESIZE and COMMONPAGESIZE when doing gp
relaxations. Otherwise we may meet the truncated errors since the data
segment alignment might move the section forward.
