This satisfies a symbol reference created with:
.symver __libc_vfork, vfork@GLIBC_2.0
where `__libc_vfork' has not been defined or referenced. In this case
the `vfork@GLIBC_2.0' reference is supposed to be discarded, however a
bug present in GAS since forever causes an undefined symbol table entry
to be created. This in turn triggers a problem in the linker that can
manifest itself by link errors such as:
ld: libpthread.so: invalid string offset 2765592330 >= 5154 for section `.dynstr'
The GAS and linker bugs need to be resolved, but we can avoid them too
by providing a `__libc_vfork' definition just like our other platforms.
[BZ #17485]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/vfork.S (__libc_vfork): Define.
I've moved the MIPS port from ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy.
Beyond the README update, the move of the files was simply
git mv ports/sysdeps/mips sysdeps/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/mips sysdeps/unix/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips
and in addition to the ChangeLog entries here, I put a note at the top
of ports/ChangeLog.mips similar to those in other files.
Tested that disassembly of installed shared libraries for mips is the
same before and after this patch (except for ld.so where paths in
assertions are involved, as for arm).
* sysdeps/mips: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/mips: Move directory from ports/sysdeps/unix/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips: Move directory from
ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips.
* README: Update listing for mips-*-linux-gnu and
mips64-*-linux-gnu.
* sysdeps/mips: Move directory to ../sysdeps/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/mips: Move directory to ../sysdeps/unix/mips.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips: Move directory to
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips.
