Hi all,

This patch fixes a bug, got section is not generated for TLSLE_MOVW_TPREL_G1,TLSLE_MOVW_TPREL_G1_NC, TLSLE_MOVW_TPREL_G2 previously.

LD regression test Okay. Okay to commit?

bfd/ChangeLog:

2015-09-08  Renlin Li <renlin.li@arm.com>

    * elfnn-aarch64.c (elfNN_aarch64_check_relocs): Create GOT section
        for TLSLE_MOVW_TPREL_G(1, 1_NC, 2) relocation.

This looks wrong to me, and will cause inconsistent inside AArch64 backend.

All TLS Local Executable relocation types don't need any GOT entry, we shouldn't listed them here.

Yes, you are right. I am wrong there.


Looks like this patch was trying to fix the following two testcase failures:

Running /work/GNU-TOOLCHAIN/binutils-gdb/ld/testsuite/ld-aarch64/aarch64-elf.exp ...
FAIL: ld-aarch64/tls-relax-large-gd-le
FAIL: ld-aarch64/tls-relax-large-desc-le

The correct fix is to add "-shared" to the test option, then the symbol _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ will be defined, always.

-shared could make the test cases pass, but is it required? The test case itself should be legal even without "-shared".

For that two particular testcases, the most important thing is to make sure the tls relaxations are tested, either "-shared" or not doesn't matter.

As you have referenced _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_, you need to specify -shared, or you can just remove the reference, they are not related what's tested.
