I have been looking at a Fedora bug report[1] from a user who was
receiving warning messages from the BFD library about incompatible
plugins. It turns out that they had both 32-bit and 64-bit versions
of the same plugin installed, and the BFD library was attempting to
load all of them.
After thinking about it for a while, it seemed to me that the simplest
solution was to not warn about incompatible plugins whilst attempting
to create a list of viable plugins.
[1]: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1836618
* plugin.c (try_load_plugin): Suppress the error message about
being unable to open a plugin if creating a list of viable
plugins.
Since LTO plugin may generate more than one ltrans.o file from one input
IR object as LTO wrapper ignores -flto-partition=none:
lto-wrapper.c:608:
604 /* Drop arguments that we want to take from the link line. */
605 case OPT_flto_:
606 case OPT_flto:
607 case OPT_flto_partition_:
608 continue;
the LTO wrapper approach is not only slow but also unreliable. Since
the LTO plugin API has been extended to add LDPT_ADD_SYMBOLS_V2 with
symbol type and section kind, we can use LDPT_ADD_SYMBOLS_V2 to get
symbol type, instead of invoking the LTO wrapper.

The object_p (and archive_p, core_file_p) functions are not supposed
to have any target specific malloc'd memory attached to the bfd on
their return. This should be obvious on a failure return, but it's
also true for a successful return. The reason is that even though the
object_p recognises the file, that particular target may not be used
and thus the bfd won't be closed calling close_and_cleanup for the
target that allocated the memory.
It turns out that the object_p bfd_target* return value isn't needed.
In all cases except ld/plugin.c the target is abfd->xvec and with
ld/plugin.c the target isn't used. So this patch returns a cleanup
function from object_p instead, called in bfd_check_format_matches to
tidy the bfd before trying a different target match. The only cleanup
that does anything at this stage is the alpha-vms one.

that too.

Since existing ld and gold support the 64-bit (MIPS) ELF archives, we
can use the 64-bit (MIPS) ELF archives as 64-bit archives. Since the
plugin target is used to create archive in plugin-enabled ar, we need
a way to enable 64-bit archives in the plugin target. This patch adds
--enable-64-bit-archive to bfd to force 64-bit archives in ar and
ranlib. Since both 64-bit MIPS and s390 ELF targets currently use
64-bit archives, 64-bit archives are enabled by default for them.
64-bit archive is generated automatically if the archive is too big.

In <https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2015-12/msg00190.html> (commit
4a07dc8135), Kwok fixed a problem with
the template used for a dummy BFD for an IR file for LTO on MinGW,
where the input and output formats are not the same.
A problem, however, remains in the case of linking for
x86_64-w64-mingw32 -m32, where LTO linking reports an ambiguity
between the pe-i386 and pei-i386 formats. An object (pe-i386) with
plugin data is being tested by the linker to see what formats match.
The default format initially set by the linker when
bfd_check_format_matches is called is pei-i386 (as that's the output
format from the linker script), which does not match, so the function
goes on to the loop over possible BFD vectors. The pe-i386 vector
matches, as it should. One other vector matches: the plugin vector.
bfd_check_format_matches tests a vector for matching by temporarily
modifying the BFD object to use that vector then using
_bfd_check_format on it. So the BFD object is temporarily using
plugin_vec. _bfd_check_format ends up using bfd_plugin_object_p which
uses plugin_object_p from ld which uses plugin_get_ir_dummy_bfd which
succeeds, having created a BFD based on link_info.output_bfd (because
srctemplate is the BFD temporarily using plugin_vec, even after Kwok's
patch link_info.output_bfd is all that's available to base the dummy
BFD on). So we end up with a match from the plugin vector which uses
the pei-i386 vector even though the pei-i386 vector itself does not
match the input object. (In the i686-mingw32 case, as opposed to this
multilib case, pe-i386 is the default BFD target, which would
short-circuit that logic.)
There are two cases of the linker handling inputs with a plugin: they
may be inputs that are also accepted by some non-plugin BFD format, as
here, or they may be a format that would not be recognized at all, as
with some tests in the ld testsuite. In the former case, there is no
need for BFD to accept the objects using the plugin vector, as the
linker has its own logic to allow plugins to claim objects accepted by
some other BFD vector. Thus, this patch arranges for the plugin
vector to have the lowest match priority, and for the priority from
that vector to be used in the relevant case (the attempted match to
the plugin vector results in TEMP pointing to the pei-i386 vector).
Tested for GCC and Binutils testsuites for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, as
well as verifying that it fixes the observed LTO issue for
x86_64-w64-mingw32.
* plugin.c (plugin_vec): Set match priority to 255.
* format.c (bfd_check_format_matches) [BFD_SUPPORTS_PLUGINS]: When
matching against the plugin vector, take priority from there not
from TEMP.
Linker plugin_maybe_claim is the interface of linker plugin support.
This patch extracts linker plugin_maybe_claim into plugin_object_p and
makes it available to BFD via a new function:
void register_ld_plugin_object_p (const bfd_target *(*) (bfd *));
bfd_plugin_object_p calls plugin_object_p registered by linker first. It
adds an enum bfd_plugin_format field and a pointer to plugin dummy BFD so
that plugin_object_p stores plugin dummy BFD to allow plugin_maybe_claim
to retrieve it later.

from srctemplate only if it doesn't use BFD plugin target
vector.
(plugin_load_plugins): Call register_ld_plugin_object_p with
(plugin_object_p)
(plugin_maybe_claim): Renamed to ...
(plugin_object_p): This. Return dummy BFD target vector if
input is calimed by plugin library, otherwise return NULL.
Update plugin_format and plugin_dummy_bfd.
(plugin_maybe_claim): New. Use plugin_object_p.
xx
ar, nm and ranlib currently lack the ability to handle more than one
plugin in lib/bfd-plugins. This patch reshuffles the logic in plugin.c
to add this functionality. One can now place both llvm and gcc plugins
in this directory and have them loaded automatically.
Mixed gcc/llvm archives are also supported (but not very useful until
ld.bfd and ld.gold also would load multiple plugins and use them to
claim different object files).
PR 17422
