Senthil Kumar Selvaraj 338ba75534 Fix PR 24564 - link fails for some rcalls/rjmps with wraparound
The current code to compute relative distance in the wrap around case does not
handle the edge case of the target (after adjusting for implicit PC increment)
being exactly half of the wrap around distance. This patch fixes that and adds a
testcase.

The range for a forward relative jump call is 4096 bytes ((2 * 2047) + (2 bytes
for the implicit PC increment)). If the target of the jump is at a distance of
4098 bytes, it is out of range for a forward jump - however, a backward jump can
still reach that address if pmem-wrap-around is 8192.

Assume address 0 has rjmp to address 4098. With a wrap around of 8192 and
*without* adjusting for the implicit PC increment of 2 bytes, rjmp .-4096 will
jump to address 4096 (wrap around at 8192 and decreasing addresses from then
on). Adjusting 2 bytes for the implicit PC increment, the actual target is 4098.

avr_relative_distance_considering_wrap_around though, does the wrap around only
if the passed in distance is less than half of the wrap around distance. In this
case, it is exactly equal to half (original distance 4098, adjusted distance of
4096 and wraparound of 8192), and the bypassed wrap around causes the reloc
overflow error.

Fix by wrapping around even if adjusted distance is equal to half of wrap around
distance.

		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.texi), as well as the
  beginnings of an internals manual (ldint.texi).

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.texi 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.
