This patch adds --compress-debug-sections=[none|zlib|zlib-gnu|zlib-gabi] to ld for ELF targets to support generating compressed DWARF debug sections. We always generate .zdebug_* section since section names have been finalized and they can't be changed easily when compression is being performed. bfd/ * bfd-in.h (compressed_debug_section_type): New. * compress.c (bfd_compress_section_contents): Add an argument for linker write compression and always generate .zdebug_* section when linking. (bfd_init_section_compress_status): Pass FALSE to bfd_compress_section_contents. (bfd_compress_section): New function. * elf.c (elf_fake_sections): For linking, set SEC_ELF_COMPRESS on DWARF debug sections if COMPRESS_DEBUG is set and rename section if COMPRESS_DEBUG_GABI_ZLIB isn't set. (assign_file_positions_for_non_load_sections): Set sh_offset to -1 if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set. (assign_file_positions_except_relocs): Likwise. (_bfd_elf_assign_file_positions_for_relocs): Renamed to ... (_bfd_elf_assign_file_positions_for_non_load): This. Change return time to bfd_boolean. Compress the section if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set. (_bfd_elf_write_object_contents): Updated. (_bfd_elf_set_section_contents): Write section contents to the buffer if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set. * merge.c: Include "elf-bfd.h". (sec_merge_emit): Add arguments for contents and offset. Write to contents with offset if contents isn't NULL. (_bfd_write_merged_section): Write section contents to the buffer if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set. Pass contents and output_offset to sec_merge_emit. * elflink.c (bfd_elf_final_link): Allocate the buffer for output section contents if SEC_ELF_COMPRESS is set. * section.c (SEC_ELF_COMPRESS): New. * bfd-in2.h: Regenerated. gas/ * as.h (compressed_debug_section_type): Removed. include/ * bfdlink.h (bfd_link_info): Add compress_debug. ld/ * ld.texinfo: Document --compress-debug-sections=. * ldmain.c (main): Set BFD_COMPRESS on output_bfd if COMPRESS_DEBUG is set. Set BFD_COMPRESS_GABI on output_bfd for COMPRESS_DEBUG_GABI_ZLIB. * lexsup.c (elf_static_list_options): Add --compress-debug-sections=. * emultempl/elf32.em (OPTION_COMPRESS_DEBUG): New. (xtra_long): Add "compress-debug-sections". (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option): Handle OPTION_COMPRESS_DEBUG. ld/testsuite/ * ld-elf/compress.exp (build_tests): Add tests for --compress-debug-sections=. (run_tests): Likewise. Add additonal tests for --compress-debug-sections=. * ld-elf/gabiend.rt: New file. * ld-elf/gabinormal.rt: Likewise. * ld-elf/gnubegin.rS: Likewise. * ld-elf/gnunormal.rS: Likewise. * ld-elf/zlibbegin.rS: Likewise. * ld-elf/zlibnormal.rS: Likewise. |

README for LD
This is the GNU linker. It is distributed with other "binary
utilities" which should be in ../binutils. See ../binutils/README for
more general notes, including where to send bug reports.
There are many features of the linker:
* The linker uses a Binary File Descriptor library (../bfd)
that it uses to read and write object files. This helps
insulate the linker itself from the format of object files.
* The linker supports a number of different object file
formats. It can even handle multiple formats at once:
Read two input formats and write a third.
* The linker can be configured for cross-linking.
* The linker supports a control language.
* There is a user manual (ld.texinfo), as well as the
beginnings of an internals manual (ldint.texinfo).
Installation
============
See ../binutils/README.
If you want to make a cross-linker, you may want to specify
a different search path of -lfoo libraries than the default.
You can do this by setting the LIB_PATH variable in ./Makefile
or using the --with-lib-path configure switch.
To build just the linker, make the target all-ld from the top level
directory (one directory above this one).
Porting to a new target
=======================
See the ldint.texinfo manual.
Reporting bugs etc
===========================
See ../binutils/README.
Known problems
==============
The Solaris linker normally exports all dynamic symbols from an
executable. The GNU linker does not do this by default. This is
because the GNU linker tries to present the same interface for all
similar targets (in this case, all native ELF targets). This does not
matter for normal programs, but it can make a difference for programs
which try to dlopen an executable, such as PERL or Tcl. You can make
the GNU linker export all dynamic symbols with the -E or
--export-dynamic command line option.
HP/UX 9.01 has a shell bug that causes the linker scripts to be
generated incorrectly. The symptom of this appears to be "fatal error
- scanner input buffer overflow" error messages. There are various
workarounds to this:
* Build and install bash, and build with "make SHELL=bash".
* Update to a version of HP/UX with a working shell (e.g., 9.05).
* Replace "(. ${srcdir}/scripttempl/${SCRIPT_NAME}.sc)" in
genscripts.sh with "sh ${srcdir}..." (no parens) and make sure the
emulparams script used exports any shell variables it sets.
