* elfxx-mips.c (mips_got_entry): Adjust commentary.
(mips_elf_create_local_got_entry): If given a symbol, check that it
has been assigned to the local part of the GOT.
(mips_elf_count_got_symbols): Take the bfd_link_info as argument
instead of the master GOT. Put all locally-binding symbols in
the local area.
(mips_elf_make_got_per_bfd): Use global_got_area to decide whether
a symbol lives in the local or global area.
(mips_elf_local_relocation_p): Remove check_forced argument and
retain only the !check_forced behavior.
(mips_elf_calculate_relocation): Adjust call accordingly.
Use global_got_area to decide whether an output relocation
should be local or global. Explicitly decay R_MIPS_GOT_PAGE
into R_MIPS_GOT_DISP where appropriate. Fix selection of
local vs. global semantics for R_MIPS*_26. Remove redundant
reevaluation of what is stored in was_local_p.
(mips_elf_create_dynamic_relocation): Use global_got_area to decide
whether the relocation should be against a global or local symbol.
(mips_elf_lay_out_got): Update the GOT traversal after the above
change to mips_elf_count_got_symbols.
(mips_elf_adjust_addend): Adjust call to mips_elf_local_relocation_p.
(_bfd_mips_elf_relocate_section): Likewise.
(_bfd_mips_elf_finish_dynamic_symbol): Use global_got_area to decide
whether the symbol has a global got entry.
(_bfd_mips_vxworks_finish_dynamic_symbol): Likewise.
ld/testsuite/
* ld-mips-elf/elf-rel-got-n32.d: Swap two local GOT entries
and remove some duplication between the global and local GOT
entries. Adjust GP offsets accordingly.
* ld-mips-elf/elf-rel-got-n64-linux.d: Likewise.
* ld-mips-elf/elf-rel-xgot-n32.d: Reorder GOT entries and update
GP offsets accordingly.
* ld-mips-elf/elf-rel-xgot-n64-linux.d: Likewise.
* ld-mips-elf/mips16-pic-1.gd: Move all global GOT entries to
the local GOT.
* ld-mips-elf/mips16-pic-1.dd: Update GP offsets accordingly.
* ld-mips-elf/multi-got-no-shared.d: Adjust GP setup for
smaller GOT sizes.
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.
