`versionId` is the Verdef index in the output file. It is set for

`verdefIndex` is the Verdef index of a Sharedfile (SharedSymbol or a

When the .eh_frame section is placed at a non-zero
offset within its output section, the relocation
value within .eh_frame are computed incorrectly.
We had similar issue in .ARM.exidx section and it has been
fixed already in https://reviews.llvm.org/D148033.
While applying the relocation using S+A-P, the value
of P (the location of the relocation) is getting wrong.
P is:
P = SecAddr + rel.offset, But SecAddr points to the
starting address of the outputsection rather than the
starting address of the eh frame section within that
output section.
This issue affects all targets which generates .eh_frame
section. Hence fixing in all the corresponding targets it affecting.
Close#57618: currently we align the end of PT_GNU_RELRO to a
common-page-size
boundary, but do not align the end of the associated PT_LOAD. This is
benign
when runtime_page_size >= common-page-size.
However, when runtime_page_size < common-page-size, it is possible that
`alignUp(end(PT_LOAD), page_size) < alignDown(end(PT_GNU_RELRO),
page_size)`.
In this case, rtld's mprotect call for PT_GNU_RELRO will apply to
unmapped
regions and lead to an error, e.g.
```
error while loading shared libraries: cannot apply additional memory protection after relocation: Cannot allocate memory
```
To fix the issue, add a padding section .relro_padding like mold, which
is contained in the PT_GNU_RELRO segment and the associated PT_LOAD
segment. The section also prevents strip from corrupting PT_LOAD program
headers.
.relro_padding has the largest `sortRank` among RELRO sections.
Therefore, it is naturally placed at the end of `PT_GNU_RELRO` segment
in the absence of `PHDRS`/`SECTIONS` commands.
In the presence of `SECTIONS` commands, we place .relro_padding
immediately before a symbol assignment using DATA_SEGMENT_RELRO_END (see
also https://reviews.llvm.org/D124656), if present.
DATA_SEGMENT_RELRO_END is changed to align to max-page-size instead of
common-page-size.
Some edge cases worth mentioning:
* ppc64-toc-addis-nop.s: when PHDRS is present, do not append
.relro_padding
* avoid-empty-program-headers.s: when the only RELRO section is .tbss,
it is not part of PT_LOAD segment, therefore we do not append
.relro_padding.

Close#65002: GNU ld from 2.39 onwards aligns the end of PT_GNU_RELRO to
a
max-page-size boundary (https://sourceware.org/PR28824) so that the last
page is
protected even if runtime_page_size > common-page-size.
In my opinion, losing protection for the last page when the runtime page
size is
larger than common-page-size is not really an issue. Double mapping a
page of up
to max-common-page for the protection could cause undesired VM waste.
Internally
we had users complaining about 2MiB max-page-size applying to shared
objects.
Therefore, the end of .relro_padding is padded to a common-page-size
boundary. Users who are really anxious can set common-page-size to match
their runtime page size.

As per the ABI at
https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/memtagabielf64/memtagabielf64.rst,
this patch interprets the SHT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_GLOBALS_STATIC section,
which contains R_NONE relocations to tagged globals, and emits a
SHT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_GLOBALS_DYNAMIC section, with the correct
DT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_GLOBALS and DT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_GLOBALSSZ dynamic
entries. This section describes, in a uleb-encoded stream, global memory
ranges that should be tagged with MTE.
We are also out of bits to spare in the LLD Symbol class. As a result,
I've reused the 'needsTocRestore' bit, which is a PPC64 only feature.
Now, it's also used for 'isTagged' on AArch64.
An entry in SHT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_GLOBALS_STATIC is practically a guarantee
from an objfile that all references to the linked symbol are through the
GOT, and meet correct alignment requirements. As a result, we go through
all symbols and make sure that, for all symbols $SYM, all object files
that reference $SYM also have a SHT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_GLOBALS_STATIC entry
for $SYM. If this isn't the case, we demote the symbol to being
untagged. Symbols that are imported from other DSOs should always be
fine, as they're GOT-referenced (and thus the GOT entry either has the
correct tag or not, depending on whether it's tagged in the defining DSO
or not).
Additionally hand-tested by building {libc, libm, libc++, libm, and libnetd}
on Android with some experimental MTE globals support in the
linker/libc.

This commit provides linker support for Cortex-M Security Extensions (CMSE).
The specification for this feature can be found in ARM v8-M Security Extensions:
Requirements on Development Tools.
The linker synthesizes a security gateway veneer in a special section;
`.gnu.sgstubs`, when it finds non-local symbols `__acle_se_<entry>` and `<entry>`,
defined relative to the same text section and having the same address. The
address of `<entry>` is retargeted to the starting address of the
linker-synthesized security gateway veneer in section `.gnu.sgstubs`.
In summary, the linker translates input:
```
.text
entry:
__acle_se_entry:
[entry_code]
```
into:
```
.section .gnu.sgstubs
entry:
SG
B.W __acle_se_entry
.text
__acle_se_entry:
[entry_code]
```
If addresses of `__acle_se_<entry>` and `<entry>` are not equal, the linker
considers that `<entry>` already defines a secure gateway veneer so does not
synthesize one.
If `--out-implib=<out.lib>` is specified, the linker writes the list of secure
gateway veneers into a CMSE import library `<out.lib>`. The CMSE import library
will have 3 sections: `.symtab`, `.strtab`, `.shstrtab`. For every secure gateway
veneer <entry> at address `<addr>`, `.symtab` contains a `SHN_ABS` symbol `<entry>` with
value `<addr>`.
If `--in-implib=<in.lib>` is specified, the linker reads the existing CMSE import
library `<in.lib>` and preserves the entry function addresses in the resulting
executable and new import library.

Arm has BE8 big endian configuration called a byte-invariant(every byte has the same address on little and big-endian systems).
When in BE8 mode:
1. Instructions are big-endian in relocatable objects but
little-endian in executables and shared objects.
2. Data is big-endian.
3. The data encoding of the ELF file is ELFDATA2MSB.
To support BE8 without an ABI break for relocatable objects,the linker takes on the responsibility of changing the endianness of instructions. At a high level the only difference between BE32 and BE8 in the linker is that for BE8:
1. The linker sets the flag EF_ARM_BE8 in the ELF header.
2. The linker endian reverses the instructions, but not data.
This patch adds BE8 big endian support for Arm. To endian reverse the instructions we'll need access to the mapping symbols. Code sections can contain a mix of Arm, Thumb and literal data. We need to endian reverse Arm instructions as words, Thumb instructions
as half-words and ignore literal data.The only way to find these transitions precisely is by using mapping symbols. The instruction reversal will need to take place after relocation. For Arm BE8 code sections (Section has SHF_EXECINSTR flag ) we inserted a step after relocation to endian reverse the instructions. The implementation strategy i have used here is to write all sections BE32 including SyntheticSections then endian reverse all code in InputSections via mapping symbols.

As per section 4.2.2 of the PowerPC ELFv2 ABI, this value tells the dynamic linker which optimizations it is allowed to do.
Specifically, the higher order bit of the two tells the dynamic linker that there may be multiple TOC pointers in the binary.
When we resolve any NOTOC relocations during linking, we need to set this value because we may be calling
TOC functions from NOTOC functions when the NOTOC function already clobbered the TOC pointer.
In practice, this ensures that the PLT resolver always resolves the call to the GEP (global entry point) of
the TOC function (which will set up the TOC for the TOC function).

Embedded systems that do not use an ELF loader locate the
.ARM.exidx exception table via linker defined __exidx_start and
__exidx_end rather than use the PT_ARM_EXIDX program header. This
means that some linker scripts such as the picolibc C library's
linker script, do not have the .ARM.exidx sections at offset 0 in
the OutputSection. For example:
.except_unordered : {
. = ALIGN(8);
PROVIDE(__exidx_start = .);
*(.ARM.exidx*)
PROVIDE(__exidx_end = .);
} >flash AT>flash :text
This is within the specification of Arm exception tables, and is
handled correctly by ld.bfd.
This patch has 2 parts. The first updates the writing of the data
of the .ARM.exidx SyntheticSection to account for a non-zero
OutputSection offset. The second part makes the PT_ARM_EXIDX program
header generation a special case so that it covers only the
SyntheticSection and not the parent OutputSection. While not strictly
necessary for programs locating the exception tables via the symbols
it may cause ELF utilities that locate the exception tables via
the PT_ARM_EXIDX program header to fail. This does not seem to be the
case for GNU and LLVM readelf which seems to look for the
SHT_ARM_EXIDX section.

Adds the new AArch64-ABI dynamic entry generation to LLD. This will
allow Android to move from the Android-specific ELF note onto the
dynamic entries.
Change the behaviour of an unspecified --android-memtag-mode. Now, when
unspecified, this will print a warning that you're doing a no-op, rather
than implicitly turning on sync mode. This is important for MTE globals
later, where a binary containing static tagged global descriptors
shouldn't have MTE turned on without specific intent being passed to the
linker.
For now, continue to emit the Android ELF note by default. In future, we
can probably make it only emit the note when provided a flag.
Do a quick NFC-cleanup of the ELF note while we're here. It doesn't
change anything about the ELF note itself, but makes it more clear to
the reader of the code what alignment requirements are being (previously
implicitly) met.

For the deprecated Tag_RISCV_priv_spec{,_minor,_revision}, dump the attribute to
