RISC-V: Clarify the behaviors of SET/ADD/SUB relocations
* Bugzilla,
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31179#c5
The addend of SUB_ULEB128 should be zero if using .uleb128, but we make it
non-zero by accident in assembler before. This causes troubles by applying
the above commit, since the calculation is changed to support .reloc *SUB*
relocations with non-zero addend.
We encourage people to rebuild their stuff to get the non-zero addend of
SUB_ULEB128, but that might need some times, so report warnings to inform
people need to rebuild their stuff if --check-uleb128 is enabled.
Since the failed .reloc cases for ADD/SET/SUB/ULEB128 are rarely to use,
it may acceptable that stop supproting them until people rebuld their stuff,
maybe half-year or a year later. Or maybe we should teach people that don't
write the .reloc R_RISCV_SUB* with non-zero constant, and then report
warnings/errors in assembler.
bfd/
* elfnn-riscv.c (perform_relocation): Ignore the non-zero addend of
R_RISCV_SUB_ULEB128.
(riscv_elf_relocate_section): Report warnings to inform people need
to rebuild their stuff if --check-uleb128 is enabled. So that can
get the right non-zero addend of R_RISCV_SUB_ULEB128.
* elfxx-riscv.h (struct riscv_elf_params): Added bool check_uleb128.
ld/
* NEWS: Updated.
* emultempl/riscvelf.em: Added linker risc-v target options,
--[no-]check-uleb128, to enable/disable checking if the addend of
uleb128 is non-zero or not. So that people will know they need to
rebuild the objects with binutils 2.42 and up, to get the right zero
addend of SUB_ULEB128 relocation, or they may get troubles if using
.reloc.
* ld/testsuite/ld-riscv-elf/ld-riscv-elf.exp: Updated.
* ld/testsuite/ld-riscv-elf/pr31179*: New test cases.
BFD is an object file library. It permits applications to use the
same routines to process object files regardless of their format.
BFD is used by the GNU debugger, assembler, linker, and the binary
utilities.
The documentation on using BFD is scanty and may be occasionally
incorrect. Pointers to documentation problems, or an entirely
rewritten manual, would be appreciated.
There is some BFD internals documentation in doc/bfdint.texi which may
help programmers who want to modify BFD.
BFD is normally built as part of another package. See the build
instructions for that package, probably in a README file in the
appropriate directory.
BFD supports the following configure options:
--target=TARGET
The default target for which to build the library. TARGET is
a configuration target triplet, such as sparc-sun-solaris.
--enable-targets=TARGET,TARGET,TARGET...
Additional targets the library should support. To include
support for all known targets, use --enable-targets=all.
--enable-64-bit-bfd
Include support for 64 bit targets. This is automatically
turned on if you explicitly request a 64 bit target, but not
for --enable-targets=all. This requires a compiler with a 64
bit integer type, such as gcc.
--enable-shared
Build BFD as a shared library.
--with-mmap
Use mmap when accessing files. This is faster on some hosts,
but slower on others. It may not work on all hosts.
Report bugs in BFD to https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/
Patches are encouraged. When sending patches, always send the output
of diff -u or diff -c from the original file to the new file. Do not
send default diff output. Do not make the diff from the new file to
the original file. Remember that any patch must not break other
systems. Remember that BFD must support cross compilation from any
host to any target, so patches which use ``#ifdef HOST'' are not
acceptable. Please also read the ``Reporting Bugs'' section of the
gcc manual.
Bug reports without patches will be remembered, but they may never get
fixed until somebody volunteers to fix them.
