[lld/ELF] Avoid unnecessary TPOFF relocations in GOT for -pie (#81739)
With the new SystemZ port we noticed that -pie executables generated
from files containing R_390_TLS_IEENT relocations will have unnecessary
relocations in their GOT:
9e8d8: R_390_TLS_TPOFF *ABS*+0x18
This is caused by the config->isPic conditon in addTpOffsetGotEntry:
static void addTpOffsetGotEntry(Symbol &sym) {
in.got->addEntry(sym);
uint64_t off = sym.getGotOffset();
if (!sym.isPreemptible && !config->isPic) {
in.got->addConstant({R_TPREL, target->symbolicRel, off, 0, &sym});
return;
}
It is correct that we need to retain a TPOFF relocation if the target
symbol is preemptible or if we're building a shared library. But when
building a -pie executable, those values are fixed at link time and
there's no need for any remaining dynamic relocation.
Note that the equivalent MIPS-specific code in MipsGotSection::build
checks for config->shared instead of config->isPic; we should use the
same check here. (Note also that on many other platforms we're not even
using addTpOffsetGotEntry in this case as an IE->LE relaxation is
applied before; we don't have this type of relaxation on SystemZ.)Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
