- Subject: Detect ARM MOVW/MOVT relocations in shared library links
ARMv7 has MOVW and MOVT instructions for loading constants without
needing a constant pool, and associated relocations for when those
constants are symbol addresses.
Of course PIC code can't use these instructions to load absolute
symbol addresses. This patch adds linker checks for linking objects
using the relevant relocations into shared libraries, to detect the
common mistake (for people coming from x86) of building objects
without -fPIC and linking them into a shared library; the previous
behavior was silently dropping the relocations and so generating a
broken shared library, which is obviously undesirable.
Tested with no regressions with cross to arm-none-eabi. OK to commit?
This certainly does not fix every case of ARM relocations that are
either always unsafe for objects linked into shared libraries, or
unsafe for such objects if the symbol referenced might not be resolved
within the library at runtime; there are many other cases that may
have similar issues, but these are the ones observed to cause problems
in practice. ("Unsafe" means not fully resolved at static link time
and not converted to a dynamic relocation or no suitable dynamic
relocation available to which to convert the relocation.)
