Bug ID: 19472
Summary: [aarch64] Large shared objects need pc-relative stubs
or relocations for absolute stubs
Product: binutils
Version: 2.27 (HEAD)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: gold
Assignee: ccoutant at gmail dot com
Reporter: kyle+llvm at iteratee dot net
CC: ian at airs dot com
Target Milestone: ---
When linking a large enough .so, I end up with the following invalid long call
stub:
12427da8: 58000050 ldr x16, 12427db0 <lstat64+0x59fc>
12427dac: d61f0200 br x16
12427db0: 091d5bb0 .inst 0x091d5bb0 ; undefined
12427db4: 00000000 .inst 0x00000000 ; undefined
With no relocation entry for 12427db0. This is incorrect, as when the .so gets
relocated, the absolute branch results in a segfault. There are 2 apparent
solutions:
For .so's as well as for PIE, use the PC-relative stub, or
Include a relocation in the stub.
There's a tradeoff of call cost vs loading time.
I think the simpler choice is to use the pc-relative branch for large .so's as
this mirrors large PIE code.
