In the static pie enabled libc, crt1.o uses the same position independent
code as rcrt1.o and crt1.o is used instead of Scrt1.o when -no-pie
executables are linked. When main is not defined in the executable, but
in a shared library crt1.o is currently broken, it assumes main is local.
(glibc has a test for this but i missed it in my previous testing.)
To make both rcrt1.o and crt1.o happy with the same code, a wrapper is
introduced around main: with this crt1.o works with extern main symbol
while rcrt1.o does not depend on GOT relocations. (The change only
affects static pie enabled libc. Further simplification of start.S is
possible in the future by using the same approach for Scrt1.o too.)
* aarch64/start.S (_start): Use __wrap_main.
(__wrap_main): New local symbol.
There are three flavors of the crt startup code:
1) crt1.o used for non-pie,
2) Scrt1.o used for dynamic linked pie (dynamic linker relocates),
3) rcrt1.o used for static linked pie (self relocation is needed)
In the --enable-static-pie case crt1.o is built with -DPIC and in case
of static linking it interposes _dl_relocate_static_pie in libc to
avoid self relocation.
Scrt1.o is built with -DPIC -DSHARED and it relies on GOT entries that
the static linker cannot relax and thus need relocation before the
start code is executed, so rcrt1.o needs separate implementation.
This implementation does not work for .text > 4G position independent
executables, which is fine since the toolchain does not support
-mcmodel=large with -fPIE.
Tests pass with ld/22269 and ld/22263 binutils bugs fixed.
* sysdeps/aarch64/start.S (_start): Handle PIC && !SHARED case.
eXecute-Only Memory (XOM) is a protection mechanism against some ROP
attacks. XOM sets the code as executable and unreadable, so the access
to any data, like literal pools, in the code section causes the fault
with XOM. The compiler can disable literal pools for C source files,
but not for assembly files, so I use movz/movk instead of literal pools
in start.S for XOM.
I add MOVL macro with movz/movk instructions like movl pseudo-instruction
in armasm, and use the macro instead of literal pools.
* sysdeps/aarch64/start.S: Use MOVL instead of literal pools.
* sysdeps/aarch64/sysdep.h (MOVL): Add MOVL macro.
This patch moves the AArch64 port to the main sysdeps hierarchy. The
move is essentially:
git mv ports/sysdeps/aarch64 sysdeps/aarch64
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64 sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64
The README is updated and I've updated ChangeLog.aarch64 along the
lines of the ARM move. The AArch64 build has been tested to confirm
that there were no changes in objdump -dr output or the shared
objects.
