The elf/elf.h header is shared, verbatim, by the elfutils project.
However, elfutils can be used on systems with libcs other than glibc,
making the presence of __BEGIN_DECLS, __END_DECLS and <features.h> in
the file something that downstream distros may have to add patches for.
Furthermore, this file doesn't declare anything with language linkage,
so `extern "C" {}` blocks aren't necessary; it also doesn't have any
conditional definitions based on feature test macros, making inclusion
of features.h unnecessary.
Constants double checked against binutils and the ELF for the Arm 64-bit
Architecture (AArch64) Release 2020Q2 document.
Only BTI PLT is used in glibc, there's no PAC PLT with glibc, and people
are expected to use BIND_NOW.
These property values are specified by the AArch64 ELF ABI and
binutils can create binaries marked with them.

This patch is a reimplementation of [1], which was submitted back in
2015. Copyright issue has been sorted [2] last year. It proposed a new
section (.gnu.xhash) and related dynamic tag (GT_GNU_XHASH). The new
section would be virtually identical to the existing .gnu.hash except
for the translation table (xlat) which would contain correct MIPS
.dynsym indexes corresponding to the hashvals in chains. This is because
MIPS ABI imposes a different ordering of the dynsyms than the one
expected by the .gnu.hash section. Another addition would be a leading
word at the beggining of the section, which would contain the number of
entries in the translation table.
In this patch, the new section name and dynamic tag are changed to
reflect the fact that the section should be treated as MIPS specific
(.MIPS.xhash and DT_MIPS_XHASH).
This patch addresses the alignment issue reported in [3] which is caused
by the leading word of the .MIPS.xhash section. Leading word is now
removed in the corresponding binutils patch, and the number of entries
in the translation table is computed using DT_MIPS_SYMTABNO dynamic tag.
Since the MIPS specific dl-lookup.c file was removed following the
initial patch submission, I opted for the definition of three new macros
in the generic ldsodefs.h. ELF_MACHINE_GNU_HASH_ADDRIDX defines the
index of the dynamic tag in the l_info array. ELF_MACHINE_HASH_SYMIDX is
used to calculate the index of a symbol in GNU hash. On MIPS, it is
defined to look up the symbol index in the translation table.
ELF_MACHINE_XHASH_SETUP is defined for MIPS only. It initializes the
.MIPS.xhash pointer in the link_map_machine struct.
The other major change is bumping the highest EI_ABIVERSION value for
MIPS to suggest that the dynamic linker now supports GNU hash.
The patch was tested by running the glibc testsuite for the three MIPS
ABIs (o32, n32 and n64) and for x86_64-linux-gnu.

Linux 4.15 adds NT_S390_RI_CB to linux/elf.h (and NT_ARM_SVE, which we
already have in glibc). This shows up that various other ELF note
values from linux/elf.h are missing from glibc's elf.h.
This patch adds the missing values that are relevant to glibc
architectures. As elf.h is a general description of the ELF format,
not necessarily limited to glibc configurations, there's an argument
for having the remaining NT_* values that Linux uses for non-glibc
architectures in glibc's elf.h as well, but this patch does not add
them.
Adding the NT_PRFPREG name is bug 14890. That bug also requests
making the NT_FPREGSET name obsolete. Given that elf.h is not just
for Linux but can describe ELF for other operating systems, I don't
think that a change of name in the Linux kernel is sufficient
justification for declaring the other name obsolete; there can be
multiple names for the same note value, even with incompatible
semantics, if those reflect variants of the ELF format in actual use.
For example, FreeBSD appears still to have the name NT_FPREGSET
<https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/sys/elf_common.h>
(note: I haven't checked whether the FreeBSD kernel actually generates
such notes or whether this is actually an other-OS definition present

ELFv2 functions with localentry:0 are those with a single entry point,
ie. global entry == local entry, that have no requirement on r2 or
r12 and guarantee r2 is unchanged on return. Such an external
function can be called via the PLT without saving r2 or restoring it
on return, avoiding a common load-hit-store for small functions.
This patch implements the ld.so changes necessary for this
optimization. ld.so needs to check that an optimized plt call
sequence is in fact calling a function implemented with localentry:0,
end emit a fatal error otherwise.

This patch is glibc support for a PowerPC TLS optimization, inspired
by Alexandre Oliva's TLS optimization for other processors,
http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/writeups/TLS/RFC-TLSDESC-x86.txt
In essence, this optimization uses a zero module id in the tls_index
GOT entry to indicate that a TLS variable is allocated space in the
static TLS area. A special plt call linker stub for __tls_get_addr
checks for such a tls_index and if found, returns the offset
immediately. The linker communicates the fact that the special
__tls_get_addr stub is used by setting a bit in the dynamic tag
DT_PPC64_OPT/DT_PPC_OPT. glibc communicates to the linker that this
optimization is available by the presence of __tls_get_addr_opt.
tst-tlsmod2.so is built with -Wl,--no-tls-get-addr-optimize for
tst-tls-dlinfo, which otherwise would fail since it tests that no
static tls is allocated. The ld option --no-tls-get-addr-optimize has
been available since binutils-2.20 so doesn't need a configure test.

This is a follow-on to the previous patch to support the ELFv2 ABI in the
dynamic loader, split off into its own patch since it is just an optional
optimization.
In the ELFv2 ABI, most functions define both a global and a local entry
point; the local entry requires r2 to be already set up by the caller
to point to the callee's TOC; while the global entry does not require
the caller to know about the callee's TOC, but it needs to set up r12
to the callee's entry point address.
Now, when setting up a PLT slot, the dynamic linker will usually need
to enter the target function's global entry point. However, if the
linker can prove that the target function is in the same DSO as the
PLT slot itself, and the whole DSO only uses a single TOC (which the
linker will let ld.so know via a DT_PPC64_OPT entry), then it is
possible to actually enter the local entry point address into the
PLT slot, for a slight improvement in performance.
Note that this uncovered a problem on the first call via _dl_runtime_resolve,
because that routine neglected to restore the caller's TOC before calling
the target function for the first time, since it assumed that function
would always reload its own TOC anyway ...
This patch adds support for the ELFv2 ABI feature to remove function
descriptors. See this GCC patch for in-depth discussion:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01141.html
This mostly involves two types of changes: updating assembler source
files to the new logic, and updating the dynamic loader.
After the refactoring in the previous patch, most of the assembler source
changes can be handled simply by providing ELFv2 versions of the
macros in sysdep.h. One somewhat non-obvious change is in __GI__setjmp:
this used to "fall through" to the immediately following __setjmp ENTRY
point. This is no longer safe in the ELFv2 since ENTRY defines both
a global and a local entry point, and you cannot simply fall through
to a global entry point as it requires r12 to be set up.
Also, makecontext needs to be updated to set up registers according to
the new ABI for calling into the context's start routine.
The dynamic linker changes mostly consist of removing special code
to handle function descriptors. We also need to support the new PLT
and glink format used by the the ELFv2 linker, see:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-10/msg00376.html
In addition, the dynamic linker now verifies that the dynamic libraries
it loads match its own ABI.
The hack in VDSO_IFUNC_RET to "synthesize" a function descriptor
for vDSO routines is also no longer necessary for ELFv2.
This patch updates glibc in accordance with the binutils patch checked in here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-10/msg00372.html
This changes the various R_PPC64_..._HI and _HA relocations to report
32-bit overflows. The motivation is that existing uses of @h / @ha
are to build up 32-bit offsets (for the "medium model" TOC access
that GCC now defaults to), and we'd really like to see failures at
link / load time rather than silent truncations.
For those rare cases where a modifier is needed to build up a 64-bit
constant, new relocations _HIGH / _HIGHA are supported.
The patch also fixes a bug in overflow checking for the R_PPC64_ADDR30
and R_PPC64_ADDR32 relocations.
It has been a long practice for software using IEEE 754 floating-point
arithmetic run on MIPS processors to use an encoding of Not-a-Number
(NaN) data different to one used by software run on other processors.
And as of IEEE 754-2008 revision [1] this encoding does not follow one
recommended in the standard, as specified in section 6.2.1, where it
is stated that quiet NaNs should have the first bit (d1) of their
significand set to 1 while signalling NaNs should have that bit set to
0, but MIPS software interprets the two bits in the opposite manner.
As from revision 3.50 [2][3] the MIPS Architecture provides for
processors that support the IEEE 754-2008 preferred NaN encoding format.
As the two formats (further referred to as "legacy NaN" and "2008 NaN")
are incompatible to each other, tools have to provide support for the
two formats to help people avoid using incompatible binary modules.
The change is comprised of two functional groups of features, both of
which are required for correct support.
1. Dynamic linker support.
To enforce the NaN encoding requirement in dynamic linking a new ELF
file header flag has been defined. This flag is set for 2008-NaN
shared modules and executables and clear for legacy-NaN ones. The
dynamic linker silently ignores any incompatible modules it
encounters in dependency processing.
To avoid unnecessary processing of incompatible modules in the
presence of a shared module cache, a set of new cache flags has been
defined to mark 2008-NaN modules for the three ABIs supported.
Changes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/readelflib.c have been made
following an earlier code quality suggestion made here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2009-03/msg00036.html
and are therefore a little bit more extensive than the minimum
required.
Finally a new name has been defined for the dynamic linker so that
2008-NaN and legacy-NaN binaries can coexist on a single system that
supports dual-mode operation and that a legacy dynamic linker that
does not support verifying the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag is not
chosen to interpret a 2008-NaN binary by accident.
2. Floating environment support.
IEEE 754-2008 features are controlled in the Floating-Point Control
and Status (FCSR) register and updates are needed to floating
environment support so that the 2008-NaN flag is set correctly and
the kernel default, inferred from the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag
at the time an executable is loaded, respected.
As the NaN encoding format is a property of GCC code generation that is
both a user-selected GCC configuration default and can be overridden
with GCC options, code that needs to know what NaN encoding standard it
has been configured for checks for the __mips_nan2008 macro that is
defined internally by GCC whenever the 2008-NaN mode has been selected.
This mode is determined at the glibc configuration time and therefore a
few consistency checks have been added to catch cases where compilation
flags have been overridden by the user.
The 2008 NaN set of features relies on kernel support as the in-kernel
floating-point emulator needs to be aware of the NaN encoding used even
on hard-float processors and configure the FPU context according to the
value of the 2008 NaN ELF file header flag of the executable being
started. As at this time work on kernel support is still in progress
and the relevant changes have not made their way yet to linux.org master
repository.
Therefore the minimum version supported has been artificially set to
10.0.0 so that 2008-NaN code is not accidentally run on a Linux kernel
that does not suppport it. It is anticipated that the version is
adjusted later on to the actual initial linux.org kernel version to
support this feature. Legacy NaN encoding support is unaffected, older
kernel versions remain supported.
