X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=18b9872261b950a8d10a4ae6ccb8f2acdaebc3e6;p=binutils-gdb.git RISC-V: Ouput __global_pointer$ as dynamic symbol when generating dynamic PDE. When the ifunc resolver is in the executable, we may relax the variables to gp-relative access instruction in the ifunc resolver, or in other functions that called by the ifunc resolver. But this will cause the uninitialized gp problem since the ifunc need to be resolved at the early runtime, that is at the pre-load stage, but we set the gp until the startup code. At first, we try to add a new dynamic tag, DT_RISCV_GP, to stroe the gp value and let ld.so can init the gp register early, before the pre-load stage. But we need to extend the ABI if we want to add a new dynamic tag. Therefore, in the psabi discussion, we try another solution, which was suggested by the lld and FreeBSD linker experts, to let ld.so set the gp earlier - make sure __global_pointer$ is output as a dynamic symbol when we are generating pde, since we only do the relaxation for it. Afterwards, ld.so can search the DT_SYMTAB to get the gp value, and set the gp register before resolving ifunc. bfd/ * elfnn-riscv.c (allocate_dynrelocs): When we are generating pde, make sure gp symbol is output as a dynamic symbol. --- diff --git a/bfd/ChangeLog b/bfd/ChangeLog index f1ae342b4c3..20ccea5920e 100644 --- a/bfd/ChangeLog +++ b/bfd/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,8 @@ +2021-01-05 Nelson Chu + + * elfnn-riscv.c (allocate_dynrelocs): When we are generating pde, + make sure gp symbol is output as a dynamic symbol. + 2021-01-04 H.J.
