[PATCH v3] vdso: Improve cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations

Fangrui Song maskray at google.com
Fri Mar 10 11:07:50 PST 2023


The actual intention is that no dynamic relocation exists. However, some
GNU ld ports produce unneeded R_*_NONE. (If a port fails to determine
the exact .rel[a].dyn size, the trailing zeros become R_*_NONE
relocations. E.g. ld's powerpc port recently fixed
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29540) R_*_NONE are
generally no-op in the dynamic loaders. So just ignore them.

With the change, we can remove ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS. ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS is a
bit misnomer as ports may check RELAVETIVE/GLOB_DAT/JUMP_SLOT which are
not called "absolute relocations". (The patch is motivated by the arm64
port missing R_AARCH64_RELATIVE.)
