- Subject: [AArch64, Committed] Fix the placement of _DYNAMIC in the GOT.
This patch fixes an issue in the static linker highlighted by this thread:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2013-06/msg00043.html
This patch fixes the location of &_DYNAMIC in the GOT.
We currently emit:
got[0] ... <- _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
...
gotplt[0] &_DYNAMIC <- DT_PLTGOT
gotplt[1] reserved
gotplt[2] reserved
gotplt[3] first real plt
The purpose of placing &_DYNAMIC in a dedicated GOT slot is to allow the
dynamic loader to easily locate its own dynamic section before it has
relocated itself. This current layout is broken, the _DYNAMIC entry
should be placed at a reserved slot pointed to by _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.
This patch switches to this layout:
got[0] &_DYNAMIC <- _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
...
gotplt[0] reserved <- DT_PLTGOT
gotplt[1] reserved
gotplt[2] reserved
gotplt[3] first real plt
This change is safe because the only use of gotplt[0] is the ld.so and
currently ld.so uses an alternative (broken) mechanism to find _DYNAMIC.
Once this fix is in the static linker we can have the behaviour of ld.so
corrected to find _DYNAMIC by dereferencing _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.

* elfnn-aarch64.c (elfNN_aarch64_check_relocs): Reserve one slot
in sgot.
(elfNN_aarch64_finish_dynamic_sections): Place the &_DYNAMIC reference
in sgot[0] rather than sgotplt[0].
