The tricky part is determining which sections correspond + to which map entries. To date, the following approaches have + been tried: + + - Use the MA_WRITE attribute of pr_mflags to distinguish the read-only + mapping from the read/write mapping. (This assumes that there are + only two mappings for the main executable.) All writable sections + are associated with the read/write mapping and all non-writable + sections are associated with the read-only mapping. + + This approach worked quite well until we came across executables + which didn't have a read-only mapping. Both mappings had the + same attributes represented in pr_mflags and it was impossible + to tell them apart. + + - Use the pr_off field (which represents the offset into the + executable) to determine the section-to-mapping relationship. + Unfortunately, this approach doesn't work either, because the + offset value contained in the mapping is rounded down by some + moderately large power-of-2 value (4096 is a typical value). + A small (e.g. "Hello World") program will appear to have all + of its sections belonging to both mappings. + + Also, the following approach has been considered, but dismissed: + + - The section vma values typically look (something) like + 0x00000001xxxxxxxx or 0x00000002xxxxxxxx. Furthermore, the + 0x00000001xxxxxxxx values always belong to one mapping and + the 0x00000002xxxxxxxx values always belong to the other. + Thus it seems conceivable that GDB could use the bit patterns + in the upper portion (for some definition of "upper") in a + section's vma to help determine the section-to-mapping + relationship. + + This approach was dismissed because there is nothing to prevent + the linker from lumping the section vmas together in one large + contiguous space and still expecting the dynamic linker to + separate them and relocate them independently. Also, different + linkers have been observed to use different patterns for the + upper portions of the vma addresses and it isn't clear what the + mask ought to be for distinguishing these patterns. + + The current (admittedly inelegant) approach uses a lookup + table which associates section names with the map index that + they're permitted to be in. This is inelegant because we are + making the following assumptions: + + 1) There will only be two mappings. + 2) The relevant (i.e. main executable) mappings will always appear + in the same order in the map file. + 3) The sections named in the table will always belong to the + indicated mapping. + 4) The table completely enumerates all possible section names. + + IMO, any of these deficiencies alone will normally be sufficient + to disqualify this approach, but I haven't been able to think of + a better way to do it. + + map_index_vs_section_name_okay() is a predicate which returns + true iff the section name NAME is associated with the map index + IDX in its builtin table. Of course, there's no guarantee that + this association is actually valid... */ + +static int +map_index_vs_section_name_okay (int idx, const char *name) +{ + static struct + { + char *name; + int idx; + } okay[] = + { + { ".interp", 0 }, + { ".hash", 0 }, + { ".dynsym", 0 }, + { ".dynstr", 0 }, + { ".rela.text", 0 }, + { ".rela.rodata", 0 }, + { ".rela.data", 0 }, + { ".rela.ctors", 0 }, + { ".rela.dtors", 0 }, + { ".rela.got", 0 }, + { ".rela.sdata", 0 }, + { ".rela.IA_64.pltoff", 0 }, + { ".rel.data", 0 }, + { ".rel.sdata", 0 }, + { ".rel.got", 0 }, + { ".rel.AIX.pfdesc", 0 }, + { ".rel.IA_64.pltoff", 0 }, + { ".dynamic", 0 }, + { ".init", 0 }, + { ".plt", 0 }, + { ".text", 0 }, + { ".fini", 0 }, + { ".rodata", 0 }, + { ".IA_64.unwind_info", 0 }, + { ".IA_64.unwind", 0 }, + { ".AIX.mustrel", 0 }, + + { ".data", 1 }, + { ".ctors", 1 }, + { ".dtors", 1 }, + { ".got", 1 }, + { ".dynamic", 1}, + { ".sdata", 1 }, + { ".IA_64.pltoff", 1 }, + { ".sbss", 1 }, + { ".bss", 1 }, + { ".AIX.pfdesc", 1 } + }; + int i; + + for (i = 0; i < sizeof (okay) / sizeof (okay[0]); i++) + { + if (strcmp (name, okay[i].name) == 0) + return idx == okay[i].idx; + } + + warning ("solib-aix5.c: Ignoring section %s when relocating the executable\n", + name); + return 0; +} + #define SECTMAPMASK (~ (CORE_ADDR) 0x03ffffff) static void @@ -608,8 +735,8 @@ aix5_relocate_main_executable (void) if (flags & SEC_ALLOC) { file_ptr filepos = sect->the_bfd_section->filepos; - if (mapping->offset <= filepos - && filepos <= mapping->offset + mapping->size) + if (map_index_vs_section_name_okay (i, + bfd_get_section_name (obfd, sect->the_bfd_section))) { int idx = sect->the_bfd_section->index;
