* BaseTools/Scripts: discard .gnu.hash section in GCC buildsArd Biesheuvel2017-05-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some builds of GCC/binutils will default to using the GNU flavor of the symbol hash table, and will emit it into a section called .gnu.hash rather than .hash. We have no use for its contents, and GenFw ignores it anyway, so it shouldn't really matter what we do with it. However, due to a workaround for AARCH64 we have in GenFw to deal with older GCCs that corrupt section-based relocations when merging sections during the final link, we need the ELF and PE/COFF views of the binary to be identical. Since we don't place the .gnu.hash section explicitly, it may end up at the beginning of the ELF binary, causing other sections to be shifted in the ELF view but not in the PE/COFF view. So let's add .gnu.hash to the GCC linker script. We don't care about its contents so add it to the /DISCARD/ section.

* BaseTools: GCC: move most AutoGen.obj contents back to .data sectionArd Biesheuvel2017-02-241-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The generated AutoGen.c files mostly contain read-only data, but due to lacking annotations, all of it is emitted into the .data section by the compiler. Given that GUIDs are UEFI's gaffer tape, having writable GUIDs is a security hazard, and this was the main rationale for putting AutoGen.obj in the .text section. However, as it turns out, patchable PCDs are emitted there as well, which can legally be modified at runtime. So update the wildcard pattern to only match g...Guid sections, and move everything else back to .data (Note that this relies on -fdata-sections, without that option, everything is emitted into .data) Contributed-under: TianoCore Contribution Agreement 1.0 Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Tested-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Liming Gao <liming.gao@intel.com> Fixes: 233bd25b000f92fc4bbe181fa48edcd72808de8e [lersek@redhat.com: add reference to previous commit being fixed up] Signed-off-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>
* BaseTools/GccBase.lds: don't copy RELA section to PE/COFFArd Biesheuvel2016-08-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CLANG38 toolchain creates a PIE binary at link time. This is necessary since the LTO code generation may otherwise result in code that cannot execute correctly when loaded above 2 GB. PIE executables contain a RELA section consisting of dynamic relocation entries that are intended for consumption by the loader at runtime. For this reason, it has the SHF_ALLOC attribute set by default, and will be identified by GenFw as a section that needs to be copied into the PE/COFF binary, resulting in waste of space since the PE/COFF loader does not use this data at all. So mark the RELA section as informational: this will prevent the linker from setting the SHF_ALLOC attribute, causing GenFw to ignore it.

* BaseTools GCC: drop GNU notes section from EFI imageArd Biesheuvel2016-08-021-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent versions of GNU ld automatically emit a .notes section into the ELF binary containing a build id. Since this is an allocatable section by default, it will be identified by GenFw as a section that requires PE/COFF conversion, which may cause sections to be moved around unexpectedly. So retain the section, but tag it as INFO, which tells the linker that it should not be accounted for in the binary's memory layout.

* Preserve hii section in GCC binariesThomas Palmer2016-07-261-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to UEFI spec: Once an image is loaded, LoadImage() installs EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_PROTOCOL on the handle if the image contains a custom PE/COFF resource with the type 'HII'. The protocol's interface pointer points to the HII package list which is contained in the resource's data. This is controlled by the UEFI_HII_RESOURCE_SECTION define in the INF file. When present the HII resource is linked with the module binary. Unfortunately GCC-built binaries have been stripping the .hii section entirely. See "[edk2] HII gEfiHiiPackageListProtocolGuid problem with GCC48(VS2012x86 works)" http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.tianocore.devel/13438 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.tianocore.devel/14899 This patch tells the linker to preserve the .hii sections Contributed-under: TianoCore Contribution Agreement 1.0 Signed-off-by: Thomas Palmer <thomas.palmer@hpe.com> Acked-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com> Tested-by: Bruce Cran <bruce.cran@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Bruce Cran <bruce.cran@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Yonghong Zhu <yonghong.zhu@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Liming Gao <liming.gao@intel.com>
* BaseTools GCC: avoid the use of COMMON symbolsArd Biesheuvel2015-12-081-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default behavior of the GCC compiler is to emit uninitialized globals with external linkage into a COMMON section, where duplicate definitions are merged. This may result in unexpected behavior, since global variables defined under the same name in different C files may not refer to the same logical data item. For instance, the definitions of EFI_EVENT mVirtualAddressChangeEvent that [used to] appear in the following files: CryptoPkg/Library/BaseCryptLib/SysCall/RuntimeMemAllocation.c MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableDxe.c will be folded into a single instance of the variable when the latter module includes the former library, which can lead to unexpected results. Even if some may argue that there are legal uses for COMMON allocation, the high modularity of EDK2 combined with the low level of awareness of the intracicies surrounding common allocation and the generally poor EDK2 developer discipline regarding the use of the STATIC keyword* make a strong case for disabling it by default, and re-enabling it explicitly for packages that depend on it. So prevent GCC from emitting variables into the COMMON section, by passing -fno-common to the compiler, and discarding the section in the GNU ld linker script. * Any function or variable that is only referenced from the translation unit that defines it could be made STATIC. This does not only prevent issues like the above, it also allows the compiler to generate better code, e.g., drop out of line function definitions after inlining all invocations or perform constant propagation on variables.

* BaseTools GCC: move AutoGen.obj contents to .text sectionArd Biesheuvel2015-08-031-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All AutoGen.obj files consist of global GUID definitions, fixed and patchable PCDs and other data that is essentially read-only at runtime but has not been declared as such for various reasons. By moving these contents to .text we achieve two things: - global GUIDs and other data items which must be constant for correct program operation can no longer be modified, for instance, when running a DXE_RUNTIME_MODULE binary under the OS with the Properties Table feature for memory protection enabled; - the .data section becomes smaller, and may be dropped completely for many XIP modules, which reduces wasted FV space if the PE/COFF section alignment is large.

* BaseTools GCC: align start of .data to .text alignmentArd Biesheuvel2015-08-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that GenFw honors the ELF section alignment when placing the PE/COFF sections in the output, the start of the PE/COFF version of .data will be aligned to the alignment of .text if its alignment is higher than the default. So duplicate this behavior in the ELF output, this will make the memory layout of the PE/COFF binary match the layout of the ELF version more closely.

* BaseTools GCC: add unified GCC linker script for all archs and versionsArd Biesheuvel2015-08-031-0/+63
This unifies all GCC linker scripts into a single parametrised GCC linker script that can be used for all GCC versions and architectures. The two parameters that can be set on the linker command line are: - PECOFF_HEADER_SIZE, this is a build time property of GenFw, but its value is different between 32-bit and 64-bit; - common-page-size, this can be set using -z on the ld command line, and controls the value of the COMMONPAGESIZE constant when used in a linker script. This value is used for the minimum section alignment.
