git commit 49d9fd42ac chose to make nm print 'C' for the normal
common section, and 'c' for other commons. This was an attempt to
make common symbols in .scommon and other small common sections show
a 'c' type without a section name comparison, but it failed for
nm --plugin on lto objects where normal common symbols are stashed in
a "plug" section. It's also wrong for large common symbols. So
instead set SEC_SMALL_DATA on sections created for small commons, and
key off that flag to show 'c' type. If your ELF target doesn't have
an elf_backend_symbol_processing function, then you won't see 'c' for
symbols in .scommon.
Note that due to bfd_decode_symclass decoding common symbols without
a chance for coff_section_type to treat .scommon specially, then
having .scommon in the array of special sections handled by
coff_section_type prior to 49d9fd42ac was entirely ineffective.
That fact escaped me when writing 49d9fd42ac. Unless .scommon
didn't have SEC_IS_COMMON set, which would be a little weird.

When performing DISP{16,32} relocations, the eBPF ELF backend linker
needs to convert the relocation from an address into a signed number
of 64-bit words (minus one) to jump.
Because of this unsigned-to-signed conversion, special care needs to
be taken when dividing to ensure the sign bits remain correct.
Otherwise, a false relocation overflow error can be triggered.

All of the above .o files are lto, leading to libbfd-2.35-3.fc33.so
not being found needed when loading the IR objects. That's problem
number one: We exclude IR references when deciding a shared library
is needed. See PR15146. Thus none of the libbfd.so symbols are
loaded before libiberty.a is scanned, and libbfd.so contains copies of
libiberty.a functions. We ought to be using the libbfd.so copies
rather than extracting them from the archive (an object is extracted
even to satisfy IR symbols). After lto recompilation, libbfd.so is of
course found to be needed and loaded. But that causes more problems.
The lto recompilation didn't see symbol references from libbfd.so and
variables like _xexit_cleanup are made local in the recompiled
objects. Oops, two copies of them. Finally, those silly undefined
symbols in the lto output debug files, combined with definitions in
both libbfd.so and IR objects result in IR symbols being made
dynamic.
The main fix here is to revert the PR15146 change to

On aarch64 the first PLT entry is 32 bytes, subsequent entries
are 16 bytes by default but can be 24 bytes with BTI or with
PAC-PLT.
sh_entsize of .plt was set to the PLT entry size, so in some
cases sh_size % sh_entsize != 0, which breaks some tools.
Note that PLT0 (and the TLSDESC stub code which is also in the
PLT) were historically not padded up to meet the sh_size
requirement, but to ensure that PLT stub code is aligned on
cache lines. Similar layout is present on other targets too
which just happens to make sh_size a multiple of sh_entsize and
it is not expected that sh_entsize of .plt is used for anything.
This patch sets sh_entsize of .plt to 0: the section does not
hold a table of fixed-size entries so other values are not
conforming in principle to the ELF spec.

GDB currently doesn't build on 32-bit Solaris:
* On Solaris 11.4/x86:
In file included from /usr/include/sys/procfs.h:26,
from /vol/src/gnu/gdb/hg/master/dist/gdb/i386-sol2-nat.c:24:
/usr/include/sys/old_procfs.h:31:2: error: #error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
#error "Cannot use procfs in the large file compilation environment"
^~~~~
* On Solaris 11.3/x86 there are several more instances of this.
The interaction between procfs and large-file support historically has
been a royal mess on Solaris:
* There are two versions of the procfs interface:
** The old ioctl-based /proc, deprecated and not used any longer in
either gdb or binutils.
** The `new' (introduced in Solaris 2.6, 1997) structured /proc.
* There are two headers one can possibly include:
** <procfs.h> which only provides the structured /proc, definining
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1 and then including ...
** <sys/procfs.h> which defaults to _STRUCTURED_PROC=0, the ioctl-based
/proc, but provides structured /proc if _STRUCTURED_PROC == 1.
* procfs and the large-file environment didn't go well together:
** Until Solaris 11.3, <sys/procfs.h> would always #error in 32-bit
compilations when the large-file environment was active
(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64).
** In both Solaris 11.4 and Illumos, this restriction was lifted for
structured /proc.
So one has to be careful always to define _STRUCTURED_PROC=1 when
testing for or using <sys/procfs.h> on Solaris. As the errors above
show, this isn't always the case in binutils-gdb right now.
Also one may need to disable large-file support for 32-bit compilations
on Solaris. config/largefile.m4 meant to do this by wrapping the
AC_SYS_LARGEFILE autoconf macro with appropriate checks, yielding
ACX_LARGEFILE. Unfortunately the macro doesn't always succeed because
it neglects the _STRUCTURED_PROC part.
To make things even worse, since GCC 9 g++ predefines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on Solaris. So even if largefile.m4 deciced not to
enable large-file support, this has no effect, breaking the gdb build.
This patch addresses all this as follows:
* All tests for the <sys/procfs.h> header are made with
_STRUCTURED_PROC=1, the definition going into the various config.h
files instead of having to make them (and sometimes failing) in the
affected sources.
* To cope with the g++ predefine of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64,
-U_FILE_OFFSET_BITS is added to various *_CPPFLAGS variables. It had
been far easier to have just
#undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
in config.h, but unfortunately such a construct in config.in is
commented by config.status irrespective of indentation and whitespace
if large-file support is disabled. I found no way around this and
putting the #undef in several global headers for bfd, binutils, ld,
and gdb seemed way more invasive.
* Last, the applicability check in largefile.m4 was modified only to
disable largefile support if really needed. To do so, it checks if
<sys/procfs.h> compiles with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 defined. If it
doesn't, the disabling only happens if gdb exists in-tree and isn't
disabled, otherwise (building binutils from a tarball), there's no
conflict.
What initially confused me was the check for $plugins here, which
originally caused the disabling not to take place. Since AC_PLUGINGS
does enable plugin support if <dlfcn.h> exists (which it does on
Solaris), the disabling never happened.
I could find no explanation why the linker plugin needs large-file
support but thought it would be enough if gld and GCC's lto-plugin
agreed on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value. Unfortunately, that's not
enough: lto-plugin uses the simple-object interface from libiberty,
which includes off_t arguments. So to fully disable large-file
support would mean also disabling it in libiberty and its users: gcc
and libstdc++-v3. This seems highly undesirable, so I decided to
disable the linker plugin instead if large-file support won't work.
The patch allows binutils+gdb to build on i386-pc-solaris2.11 (both
Solaris 11.3 and 11.4, using GCC 9.3.0 which is the worst case due to
predefined _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64). Also regtested on
amd64-pc-solaris2.11 (again on Solaris 11.3 and 11.4),

Make the MIPS/IRIX naming of local section symbols consistent between
files produced by generic ELF code and ELF linker code, complementing
commit 174fd7f955 ("New bfd elf hook: force naming of local section
symbols"), <https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2004-02/msg00072.html>.
Local section symbols have no names in the standard ELF gABI, however
the lack of a name causes problems with IRIX's MIPSpro linker. To work
around the issue we give them names, however we do that in generic ELF
code only, based on what the `elf_backend_name_local_section_symbols'
hook returns if present. That makes objects created by GAS or `objdump'
work correctly, however not ones created by `ld -r'. That would not
normally cause issues with IRIX systems using GAS and `objdump' only
with the MIPSpro linker, however if GNU LD was used for whatever reason
in producing objects later fed to IRIX's MIPSpro linker, then things
would break.
Modify ELF linker code accordingly then, using the same hook. Adjust
the `ld-elf/64ksec-r' test accordingly so that it also accepts a section
symbol with a name.
Also modify the hook itself so that only actual ET_REL objects have
names assigned to local section symbols. Other kinds of ELF files are
not ever supposed to be relocated with the MIPSpro linker, so we can
afford producing more standard output.
Add suitable GAS, LD and `objcopy' test cases to the relevant testsuites
to keep these tools consistently verified. This change also fixes:

Correct ELF linker code so as to set the `sh_info' value of the static
symbol table section according to the section symbols vs other symbols
split where required by the selection of the IRIX compatibility mode for
MIPS target. Add a `elf_backend_elfsym_local_is_section' hook for that
purpose, returning TRUE if it is only STB_LOCAL/STT_SECTION symbols that
are to be considered local for the purpose of this split rather than all
STB_LOCAL symbols.
We do it already in generic ELF code, and have done it since 1993, with
the `elf_backend_sym_is_global' hook, affecting GAS and `objcopy', so
these tools produce correct ELF output in the IRIX compatibility mode,
however if such output is fed as input to `ld -r', then the linker's
output is no longer valid for that mode. The relevant changes to
generic ELF code are:
commit 062189c6ea
Author: Ian Lance Taylor <ian@airs.com>
Date: Thu Nov 18 17:12:47 1993 +0000
and:
commit 6e07e54f1b
Author: Ian Lance Taylor <ian@airs.com>
Date: Thu Jan 6 20:01:42 1994 +0000
(split across two GIT commits likely due to repository conversion
peculiarities).
The `elf_backend_sym_is_global' hook however operates on BFD rather than
ELF symbols, making it unsuitable for the ELF linker as the linker does
not convert any symbol tables processed into the BFD format. Converting
the hook to operate on ELF symbols would in principle be possible, but
it would still require a considerable rewrite of `bfd_elf_final_link' to
adapt to the interface.
Therefore, especially given that no new use for the IRIX compatibility
mode is expected, minimize changes made to the ELF linker code and just
add an entirely new hook, and wire it in the o32 and n32 MIPS backends
accordingly; the n64 backend never uses the IRIX compatibility mode.
Since we have no coverage here at all add suitable GAS, LD and `objcopy'
test cases to the relevant testsuites to keep these tools consistently
verified.
