From a77ccc81295f41b72f96db000d1aa44e4dc91254 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe Lyon Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2024 17:10:02 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] arm: Handle undefweak with ST_BRANCH_UNKNOWN A previous patch made ld fail early on Thumb-only where branch_type is ST_BRANCH_UNKNOWN. However, this fails erroneously when the target is undefweak: in that case the branch should be replaced by a branch to the next instruction (or nop.w on thumb2). This patch accepts this case and restores the previous behaviour in such cases. This was reported by failures in the GCC testsuite, where we fail to link executables because __deregister_frame_info is undefweak: (__deregister_frame_info): Unknown destination type (ARM/Thumb) in ...crtbegin.o crtbegin.o: in function `__do_global_dtors_aux': crtstuff.c:(.text+0x52): dangerous relocation: unsupported relocation --- bfd/elf32-arm.c | 7 ++++++- ld/testsuite/ld-arm/arm-elf.exp | 1 + .../ld-arm/farcall-missing-type-main-undefweak.s | 10 ++++++++++ ld/testsuite/ld-arm/farcall-missing-type-undefweak.d | 11 +++++++++++ 4 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 ld/testsuite/ld-arm/farcall-missing-type-main-undefweak.s create mode 100644 ld/testsuite/ld-arm/farcall-missing-type-undefweak.d diff --git a/bfd/elf32-arm.c b/bfd/elf32-arm.c index 7441ee2cc38..17df8b30eb6 100644 --- a/bfd/elf32-arm.c +++ b/bfd/elf32-arm.c @@ -10512,7 +10512,12 @@ elf32_arm_final_link_relocate (reloc_howto_type * howto, if (using_thumb_only (globals) && (r_type == R_ARM_THM_CALL || r_type == R_ARM_THM_JUMP24) - && branch_type == ST_BRANCH_UNKNOWN) + && branch_type == ST_BRANCH_UNKNOWN + /* Exception to the rule above: a branch to an undefined weak + symbol is turned into a jump to the next instruction unless a + PLT entry will be created (see below). */ + && !(h && h->root.type == bfd_link_hash_undefweak + && plt_offset == (bfd_vma) -1)) { if (sym_sec != NULL && sym_sec->owner != NULL) diff --git a/ld/testsuite/ld-arm/arm-elf.exp b/ld/testsuite/ld-arm/arm-elf.exp index 5f380e383d0..7fa4520fb15 100644 --- a/ld/testsuite/ld-arm/arm-elf.exp +++ b/ld/testsuite/ld-arm/arm-elf.exp @@ -1208,6 +1208,7 @@ run_dump_test "attr-merge-wchar-42-nowarn" run_dump_test "attr-merge-wchar-44-nowarn" run_dump_test "farcall-section" run_dump_test "farcall-missing-type" +run_dump_test "farcall-missing-type-undefweak" run_dump_test "attr-merge-unknown-1" run_dump_test "attr-merge-unknown-2" run_dump_test "attr-merge-unknown-2r" diff --git a/ld/testsuite/ld-arm/farcall-missing-type-main-undefweak.s b/ld/testsuite/ld-arm/farcall-missing-type-main-undefweak.s new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..cf72722144b --- /dev/null +++ b/ld/testsuite/ld-arm/farcall-missing-type-main-undefweak.s @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ + .thumb + .cpu cortex-m33 + .syntax unified + .global __start + .weak bad + .type __start, function +__start: + push {r4, lr} + bl bad + pop {r4, pc} diff --git a/ld/testsuite/ld-arm/farcall-missing-type-undefweak.d b/ld/testsuite/ld-arm/farcall-missing-type-undefweak.d new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..b6e123fe1ab --- /dev/null +++ b/ld/testsuite/ld-arm/farcall-missing-type-undefweak.d @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +#source: farcall-missing-type-main-undefweak.s +#as: +#ld:-T farcall-missing-type.ld +#objdump: -dr +#... +Disassembly of section .text: + +.* <__start>: + +[0-9a-f]+: .... .... push {r4, lr} + +[0-9a-f]+: .... .... nop.w + +[0-9a-f]+: .... .... pop {r4, pc} -- 2.47.3
