Since processFDE adds a delta to the values in the FDE, it assumes that the relocations for the .eh_frame section have not been applied by RuntimeDyld. It expects instead that only the relocation addend has been written to the symbol locations, and that the section-to-section offset needs to be added.
However, there are platform differences that interfere with this:
- X86-64 has DwarfFDESymbolsUseAbsDiff enabled in its AsmInfo, causing an absolute symbol to be emitted for the FDE pcStart. Absolute symbols are skipped as a relocation by RuntimeDyld, so the processFDE function in RuntimeDyldMachO.cpp calculates the relocation correctly.
- AArch64 has DwarfFDESymbolsUseAbsDiff disabled, so a relocation is emitted in the eh_frame section. Since this isn't absolute, the relocation is applied by RuntimeDyld. This means that processFDE ends up adding an additional section-to-section offset to the pcStart field, generating an incorrect FDE
