Make the n64 ABI the default for 64-bit Linux targets specified with
`-gnuabi64' suffix included in the target triplet, for configurations
such as the Debian mips64el and mips64r6el ports. Adjust testsuite
configuration accordingly.
There are the following regressions with the new target triplet:
mips64-linux-gnuabi64 +FAIL: readelf -S bintest
mips64-linux-gnuabi64 +FAIL: MIPS reloc estimation 1
mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 +FAIL: readelf -S bintest
mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 +FAIL: MIPS reloc estimation 1
The `readelf' issue comes from a difference in section headers produced
that the `binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/readelf.s-64' pattern template
does not match. While there has been a precedent it does not appear to
me that there is a clear advantage from adding more and more variations
to the template rather than forking the existing template into multiple
ones for a more exact match. So this is best deferred to a separate
discussion.
The MIPS reloc estimation issue is an actual bug in `objdump', which
discards a number of trailing entries from output here for n64 composed
relocations:
DYNAMIC RELOCATION RECORDS
OFFSET TYPE VALUE
0000000000000000 R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
0000000000000000 R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
and consequently `ld/testsuite/ld-mips-elf/reloc-estimate-1.d' does not
match even though ELF output produced is correct according to `readelf':
Relocation section '.rel.dyn' at offset 0x10400 contains 2 entries:
Offset Info Type Sym. Value Sym. Name
000000000000 000000000000 R_MIPS_NONE
Type2: R_MIPS_NONE
Type3: R_MIPS_NONE
000000010000 000300001203 R_MIPS_REL32 0000000000010010 foo@@V2
Type2: R_MIPS_64
Type3: R_MIPS_NONE
As a genuine bug this has to be handled separately.

The objcopy and strip tools make use of the bfd library to manipulate
the state of the input file (to produce an output file). Within the
input file (for ELF at least), relocations are held within a section,
and so, if the user wanted to remove the relocations, but keep the
section to which the relocations would have been applied, it is tempting
to think that specifying the name of a relocation section to objcopy's
--remove-section option might do what you want, for example:
objcopy --remove-section=.rela.text input.elf output.elf
However, this does not work. The reason is that when the input file is
loaded, relocations are not managed as sections, but are, instead,
loaded as data associated with the section to which the relocations
would be applied. In our example above the relocations in '.rela.text'
are held as data on the section '.text' once 'input.elf' is loaded.
One task that objcopy and strip do is copy the relocations from the
input file to the output file if the section is also being copied from
the input file to the output file.
This commit adds a new command line option for objcopy and strip,
--remove-relocations, which can be used to remove the relocations, while
keeping the section that the relocations would have been applied to, for
example:
objcopy --remove-relocations=.text input.elf output.elf
in this case the section '.text' will appear in both 'input.elf' and
'output.elf', but any relocations in 'input.elf' that apply to '.text'
will not be present in 'output.elf'.
I have also added a special case to the handling of --remove-section
that spots if a user tries to remove a relocation section (currently
this is done by spotting the '.rela.' or '.rel.' prefix) and forwards
the request to --remove-relocations.
As with --remove-section and --only-section the --remove-relocations
option supports the '!' prefix on the section-patterns it takes to allow
for sections to be specifically not matched.
There are tests for all the new functionality.
