Jiong Wang 2e0488d33f Enable elf_backend_rela_normal for AArch64
If we are generating non-relocatable object and --emit-relocs specified,
  aarch64 ld is actually generating wrong addend for rela entry when
  relocate against local symbol.

  for example, for simple testcase

  foo.c
  ===

  const char * const a = "foo";

  const char *
  foo ()
  {
    return a;
  }

  bar.c
  ===

  const char * const b = "bar";

  const char * bar ()
  {
    return b;
  }

  aarch64-none-linux-gnu-ld --emit-relocs -o x.o  foo.o bar.o
  aarch64-none-linux-gnu-readelf -r x.o

   ... R_AARCH64_ADR_PRE 0000000000400018 .rodata + 0
   ... R_AARCH64_ADD_ABS 0000000000400018 .rodata + 0
   ... R_AARCH64_ADR_PRE 0000000000400018 .rodata + 0
   ... R_AARCH64_ADD_ABS 0000000000400018 .rodata + 0

   while it should be:

   ... R_AARCH64_ADR_PRE 0000000000400018 .rodata + 0
   ... R_AARCH64_ADD_ABS 0000000000400018 .rodata + 0
   ... R_AARCH64_ADR_PRE 0000000000400018 .rodata + 10
   ... R_AARCH64_ADD_ABS 0000000000400018 .rodata + 10

   bfd generic code could actually handle this properly, but only when
   elf_backend_rela_normal set to '1'.

   this patch enable this and remove those target specific hack.

    bfd/
      * elfnn-aarch64.c (elf_backend_rela_normal): Set to 1.
      (elfNN_aarch64_relocate_section): Remove duplicated addend adjustment
      when info->relocatable be true.

    ld/testsuite/
      * ld-aarch64/emit-relocs-local-addend-bar.s: * New source file.
      * ld-aarch64/emit-relocs-local-addend-foo.s: * Likewise.
      * ld-aarch64/emit-relocs-local-addend.d: * New testcase.
      * ld-aarch64/local-addend-r.d: 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.
