SECTION

        Relocations

        BFD maintains relocations in much the same way it maintains

        symbols: they are left alone until required, then read in

        en-masse and translated into an internal form.  A common

        routine <<bfd_perform_relocation>> acts upon the

        canonical form to do the fixup.

        Relocations are maintained on a per section basis,

        while symbols are maintained on a per BFD basis.

        All that a back end has to do to fit the BFD interface is to create

        a <<struct reloc_cache_entry>> for each relocation

        in a particular section, and fill in the right bits of the structures.

DESCRIPTION

        Here is a description of each of the fields within an <<arelent>>:

        o <<sym_ptr_ptr>>

        The symbol table pointer points to a pointer to the symbol

        associated with the relocation request.  It is the pointer

        into the table returned by the back end's

        <<canonicalize_symtab>> action. @xref{Symbols}. The symbol is

        referenced through a pointer to a pointer so that tools like

        the linker can fix up all the symbols of the same name by

        modifying only one pointer. The relocation routine looks in

        the symbol and uses the base of the section the symbol is

        attached to and the value of the symbol as the initial

        relocation offset. If the symbol pointer is zero, then the

        section provided is looked up.

        o <<address>>

        The <<address>> field gives the offset in bytes from the base of

        the section data which owns the relocation record to the first

        byte of relocatable information. The actual data relocated

        will be relative to this point; for example, a relocation

        type which modifies the bottom two bytes of a four byte word

        would not touch the first byte pointed to in a big endian

        world.

        o <<addend>>

        The <<addend>> is a value provided by the back end to be added (!)

        to the relocation offset. Its interpretation is dependent upon

        the howto. For example, on the 68k the code:

|        char foo[];

|        main()

|                {

|                return foo[0x12345678];

|                }

        Could be compiled into:

|        linkw fp,#-4

|        moveb @@#12345678,d0

|        extbl d0

|        unlk fp

|        rts

        This could create a reloc pointing to <<foo>>, but leave the

        offset in the data, something like:

|RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:

|offset   type      value

|00000006 32        _foo

|

|00000000 4e56 fffc          ; linkw fp,#-4

|00000004 1039 1234 5678     ; moveb @@#12345678,d0

|0000000a 49c0               ; extbl d0

|0000000c 4e5e               ; unlk fp

|0000000e 4e75               ; rts

        Using coff and an 88k, some instructions don't have enough

        space in them to represent the full address range, and

        pointers have to be loaded in two parts. So you'd get something like:

|        or.u     r13,r0,hi16(_foo+0x12345678)

|        ld.b     r2,r13,lo16(_foo+0x12345678)

|        jmp      r1

        This should create two relocs, both pointing to <<_foo>>, and with

        0x12340000 in their addend field. The data would consist of:

|RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:

|offset   type      value

|00000002 HVRT16    _foo+0x12340000

|00000006 LVRT16    _foo+0x12340000

|

|00000000 5da05678           ; or.u r13,r0,0x5678

|00000004 1c4d5678           ; ld.b r2,r13,0x5678

|00000008 f400c001           ; jmp r1

        The relocation routine digs out the value from the data, adds

        it to the addend to get the original offset, and then adds the

        value of <<_foo>>. Note that all 32 bits have to be kept around

        somewhere, to cope with carry from bit 15 to bit 16.

        One further example is the sparc and the a.out format. The

        sparc has a similar problem to the 88k, in that some

        instructions don't have room for an entire offset, but on the

        sparc the parts are created in odd sized lumps. The designers of

        the a.out format chose to not use the data within the section

        for storing part of the offset; all the offset is kept within

        the reloc. Anything in the data should be ignored.

|        save %sp,-112,%sp

|        sethi %hi(_foo+0x12345678),%g2

|        ldsb [%g2+%lo(_foo+0x12345678)],%i0

|        ret

|        restore

        Both relocs contain a pointer to <<foo>>, and the offsets

        contain junk.

|RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:

|offset   type      value

|00000004 HI22      _foo+0x12345678

|00000008 LO10      _foo+0x12345678

|

|00000000 9de3bf90     ; save %sp,-112,%sp

|00000004 05000000     ; sethi %hi(_foo+0),%g2

|00000008 f048a000     ; ldsb [%g2+%lo(_foo+0)],%i0

|0000000c 81c7e008     ; ret

|00000010 81e80000     ; restore

        o <<howto>>

        The <<howto>> field can be imagined as a

        relocation instruction. It is a pointer to a structure which

        contains information on what to do with all of the other

        information in the reloc record and data section. A back end

        would normally have a relocation instruction set and turn

        relocations into pointers to the correct structure on input -

        but it would be possible to create each howto field on demand.

DESCRIPTION

        If @var{output_bfd} is supplied to this function, the

        generated image will be relocatable; the relocations are

        copied to the output file after they have been changed to

        reflect the new state of the world. There are two ways of

        reflecting the results of partial linkage in an output file:

        by modifying the output data in place, and by modifying the

        relocation record.  Some native formats (e.g., basic a.out and

        basic coff) have no way of specifying an addend in the

        relocation type, so the addend has to go in the output data.

        This is no big deal since in these formats the output data

However, Ian wrote the following, regarding removing the line below,

which explains why it is still enabled:  --djm

If you put a patch like that into BFD you need to check all the COFF

linkers.  I am fairly certain that patch will break coff-i386 (e.g.,

SCO); see coff_i386_reloc in coff-i386.c where I worked around the

problem in a different way.  There may very well be a reason that the

code works as it does.

Hmmm.  The first obvious point is that bfd_perform_relocation should

not have any tests that depend upon the flavour.  It's seem like

entirely the wrong place for such a thing.  The second obvious point

is that the current code ignores the reloc addend when producing

relocatable output for COFF.  That's peculiar.  In fact, I really

have no idea what the point of the line you want to remove is.

A typical COFF reloc subtracts the old value of the symbol and adds in

the new value to the location in the object file (if it's a pc

relative reloc it adds the difference between the symbol value and the

location).  When relocating we need to preserve that property.

BFD handles this by setting the addend to the negative of the old

value of the symbol.  Unfortunately it handles common symbols in a

non-standard way (it doesn't subtract the old value) but that's a

different story (we can't change it without losing backward

compatibility with old object files) (coff-i386 does subtract the old

value, to be compatible with existing coff-i386 targets, like SCO).

So everything works fine when not producing relocatable output.  When

we are producing relocatable output, logically we should do exactly

what we do when not producing relocatable output.  Therefore, your

patch is correct.  In fact, it should probably always just set

reloc_entry->addend to 0 for all cases, since it is, in fact, going to

add the value into the object file.  This won't hurt the COFF code,

which doesn't use the addend; I'm not sure what it will do to other

formats (the thing to check for would be whether any formats both use

the addend and set partial_inplace).

When I wanted to make coff-i386 produce relocatable output, I ran

into the problem that you are running into: I wanted to remove that

line.  Rather than risk it, I made the coff-i386 relocs use a special

function; it's coff_i386_reloc in coff-i386.c.  The function

specifically adds the addend field into the object file, knowing that

bfd_perform_relocation is not going to.  If you remove that line, then

coff-i386.c will wind up adding the addend field in twice.  It's

trivial to fix; it just needs to be done.

The problem with removing the line is just that it may break some

working code.  With BFD it's hard to be sure of anything.  The right

way to deal with this is simply to build and test at least all the

supported COFF targets.  It should be straightforward if time and disk

space consuming.  For each target:

    1) build the linker

    2) generate some executable, and link it using -r (I would

       probably use paranoia.o and link against newlib/libc.a, which

       for all the supported targets would be available in

       /usr/cygnus/progressive/H-host/target/lib/libc.a).

    3) make the change to reloc.c

    4) rebuild the linker

    5) repeat step 2

    6) if the resulting object files are the same, you have at least

       made it no worse

    7) if they are different you have to figure out which version is

       right
