i386 target does not have PC relative loads. Its ABI therefore require
ebx register to points to the GOT when executing a PLT entry. This means
that PLT entry cannot be used transparently, the compiler needs to
expect execution of a PLT entry to be able to use one, that is a PLT
entry should only be created if the relocation explicitely asks for it
(eg. R_386_PLT32).
This patch creates a new target macro PCRELATIVE_DLLPLT to indicate
whether a target can do a PC relative load in PLT entry when building a
dynamic library. Executable do not normally pose a problem because they
are loaded at a fixed address and thus the absolute address of GOT can
be used.
Note that in such a case, if the compiler does not use a PLT aware
relocation for external access then the code relocation will fall on the
dynamic loader since there is no PLT entry to relocate too.
C standard specifies that array should be declared with a non null size
or with * for standard array. Declaration of relocs_info in tcc.h was
not respecting this rule. This commit add a R_NUM macro that maps to the
R_<ARCH>_NUM macros and declare relocs_info using it. This commit also
moves all linker-related macros from <arch>-gen.c files to <arch>-link.c
ones.
Static relocation of functions in dynamic libraries must use the PLT
entry as the target. Before this commit, it used to be done in 2 parts
for ARM, with the offset of the PLT entry from the beginning of the PLT
being put in the relocated place in build_got_entries () and then the
address of the PLT being added in relocate_section.
This led to code dealing with reading the offset of a bl instruction in
build_got_entries. Furthermore, the addition of the address of the start
of the PLT was done based on the relocation type which does not convey
whether a PLT entry should be used to reach the symbol.
This commit moves the decision to use the PLT as the target in
relocate_section, therefore having the instruction aware code contained
to the target-specific bit of that function (in <target>-link.c).
Note that relocate_syms is *not* the right place to do this because two
different relocations for the same symbol can make different decision.
This is the case in tcc -run mode where the static and dynamic
relocation are done by tcc.
Storing the PLT entry address in the symbol's st_value field and relying
on the specific relocation type being used for dynamic relocation would
work but the PLT entry address would then appear in the static symbol
table (symtab). This would also make the static symbol table entry
differ from the dynamic symbol table entry.
Currently GOT/PLT creation happens in two locations depending on whether
the GOT/PLT [entry] is required by the symbol or the relocation:
- bind_exe_dynsym for relocations to undefined symbol
- build_got_entries/put_got_entry for relocations that require a GOT/PLT
entry
This commit consolidate GOT/PLT creation in build_got_entries by
reducing bind_exe_dynsym's job to create a dynamic symbol for undefined
symbols. build_got_entries then invoke put_got_entry if the symbol being
relocated is undefined or the relocation asks for a PLT or GOT [entry].
put_got_entry is also modified to only export a symbol in the dynamic
symbol table when we are in the case of PLT/GOT [entry] required by the
relocation (since undefined symbol are already exported by
bind_exe_dynsym).
