Taking them out showed a bug in the powerpc64 backend with .branch_lt
being removed from output_bfd but not from previously set up segment
section maps. Removing the bfd sections meant their sh_flags (and
practically everything else) remaining zero, ie. not SHF_ALLOC,
triggering complaints about "`.branch_lt' can't be allocated in
segment".
include/elf/
* internal.h (ELF_SECTION_IN_SEGMENT_1): Ensure PT_LOAD and
similar segments only contain alloc sections.
ld/
* emultempl/ppc64elf.em (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_after_allocation):
Call gld${EMULATION_NAME}_map_segments regardless of need_laying_out.
ld/testsuite/
* ld-powerpc/tocnovar.d: Revert last change.
I didn't commit this with the relro and powerpc .TOC. changes,
thinking that something should be done about the odd result of
.shstrtab appearing in PT_GNU_RELRO. On looking at it further,
I think that changing readelf would be wrong, so let's just
accept the results. Real binaries will always have other sections
past .got, so PT_GNU_RELRO won't finish past the end of loaded
sections.
* ld-powerpc/tocnovar.d: Adjust.
The changes to reorder sections for better relro protection on powerpc64,
3e2b0f31, 23283c1b, and 5ad18f16, run into a problem with xlc.
xlc -qdatalocal puts global variables into .toc, which means that .toc
must be writable. The simplest way to accomplish this is to edit the
linker script to remove .toc sections from .got on detecting xlc object
files.
bfd/
* elf64-ppc.h (struct ppc64_elf_params): Add "object_in_toc".
* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_add_symbol_hook): Assume that global symbols
in .toc indicate xlc compiled code that might require a rw .toc.
ld/
* emulparams/elf64ppc.sh (INITIAL_READWRITE_SECTIONS): Define.
* emultempl/ppc64elf.em (params): Init new field.
(ppc_after_open): New function.
(LDEMUL_AFTER_OPEN): Define.
* ldlang.c (lang_final): Whitespace fix.
ld/testsuite/
* ld-powerpc/tocvar.d, * ld-powerpc/tocvar.s: New test.
* ld-powerpc/tocnovar.d, * ld-powerpc/tocnovar.s: New test.
* ld-powerpc/powerpc.exp: Run tocvar and tocnovar.
