Following on from binutils submission of DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP2:
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2015-06/msg00226.html
It is not currently possible to extract dynamic linker maps for MIPS position
independent executables. MIPS does not use the DT_DEBUG tag as MIPS has a
read-only dynamic section and the MIPS specific DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP tag stores an
absolute address of the debug map pointer which is unusable for a PIE.
Following previous discussions we are introducing a new dynamic tag as defined
below.
New dynamic tag:
DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP2 - 0x70000035
Definition:
This member is used by debugging. It contains a relative offset from the tag's
runtime location of a 32-bit word in the .data section which is supplied by the
compilation environment. The word's contents are not specified and programs
using this value are not ABI - compliant.
Manually tested with pre and post DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP2 executables alongside
Updated GDB.
OK to commit?
Thanks,
Matthew
* elf/elf.h (DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP2): New macro.
(DT_MIPS_NUM): Update.
* sysdeps/mips/dl-machine.h (ELF_MACHINE_DEBUG_SETUP): Handle
DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP2.
