* tools: mold: update to 2.31.0Sean Khan11 days1-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New: - mold is now up to 10% faster when linking very large, debug info-enabled executables such as Blender (~1.8 GiB) or Clang (~3.8 GiB), thanks to several improvements we've made to the string merging algorithm. (53ebcd8, d714301, 40f6b17, c9faf3d) - -z start-stop-visibility=hidden is now supported so that linker-synthesized __start_<section-name> and __stop_<section-name> symbols can be completely hidden from other ELF modules. Previously, only -z start-stop-visibility=protected was supported. (99a5b15) - -Bsymbolic-non-weak and -Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions options are now supported for compatibility with LLVM lld. Just like lld, these options control which symbols are exported as dynamic symbols. -Bsymbolic-non-weak makes the linker to export only weak symbols, whereas -Bsymbolic-non-weak-functions makes it to export only weak function symbols. (7d17aa8) Bug fixes and compatibility improvements: - Previously, if a linker script contains a newline character in the beginning four bytes of a file, it was not recognized as a linker script by mold. Now, mold allows newlines at the beginning of a file. (ea054cc) - Under rare circumstances, the INPUT linker script command may have found a different file than GNU ld would. Now, mold's behavior aligns with GNU ld's. (163975d) - Previously, the --repro option produced corrupted tar files. Now the bug has been fixed. (32c4a09) - mold generally guarantees that its output is reproducible, meaning that if you run the linker with the exact same command line options and input files, the output is guaranteed to be bit-for-bit identical to the previous outputs. However, under rare circumstances, it might produce different output due to a bug. It's reported that this nondeterminism caused random crashes for some programs (#1247). This bug has been fixed. (6463a7c) - mold no longer sets the address of the .text section as the entry point address if --entry option is not given, just like LLVM lld. (020b1a7) - [RISC-V] __global_pointer$ symbol is now exported from executables as required by the processor-specific ABI. (3df7c8e) - [ARM32] --long-plt option is now recognized as known option by mold. mold ignores the option, though, because the PLTs generated by our linker is always long.

* tools: mold: update to 2.1.0Andre Heider2023-08-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | v2.0.0: - transition from AGPL to MIT - Previously, mold could not produce an object file with more than 65520 sections using the --relocatable option. Now the bug has been fixed. - mold now interprets -undefined as a synonym for --undefined instead of -u ndefined. This seems inconsistent, as -ufoo is generally treated as -u foo (which is an alias for --undefined foo), but this is the behavior of the GNU linkers and LLVM lld, so we prioritize compatibility over consistency. - -nopie is now handled as a synonym for --no-pie. - [RISC-V] R_RISCV_SET_ULEB128 and R_RISCV_SUB_ULEB128 relocation types are now supported (4bffe26, 1ac5fe7) - [PPC64] R_PPC64_REL32 relocation type is now supported. (ebd780e) v2.1.0: - Loongson's LoongArch CPU has been supported. (03b1a1c) - -z nosectionheader has been added to eliminate section headers from the output file. (084ca55) - Previously, linking with the -z pack-relative-relocs option produces an executable that glibc 2.38 refuses to run with DT_RELR without GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR dependency error. Now, mold produces binaries compatible with glibc 2.38. (f467ad1) - [ARM64] R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21_NC relocation type has been supported. (17a5c3e) - [ARM64] R_AARCH64_MOVW_UABS_G3 relocation type has now been handled as a PLT-generating relocation to fix an issue when main is not defined in the main executable but rather in a .so file. (e764557) - [RISC-V] We now merge input .riscv.attributes contents. Previously, we just concatenated them. (aa64491) Signed-off-by: Andre Heider <a.heider@gmail.com>
* tools: add mold, a modern linkerAndre Heider2023-07-041-0/+22
mold is a faster drop-in replacement for existing Unix linkers. A single binary is able to link various targets, which is why this lives in tools/. All toolchain builds then just need to copy the linker over, hence avoiding multiple builds with the same outcome. Signed-off-by: Andre Heider <a.heider@gmail.com>
