[llvm-readobj] - Teach llvm-readobj to dump .note.gnu.property sections.

[grimar]

Summary

NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 is a recently added type of .note.gnu.property
section specified in Linux Extensions to gABI.
(https://github.com/hjl-tools/linux-abi/wiki/Linux-Extensions-to-gABI)

Patch teach tool to print such notes properly.

[grimar]

• Fixed padding handling, added comments and test cases.

[• rafael]

Have these been found in the wild? If not I would probably wait until
someone wants to use them.

Cheers,
Rafael

Have these been found in the wild? If not I would probably wait until
someone wants to use them.

Cheers,
Rafael

I know about 2 possible relative use cases we might want to support in LLD in future:

1. We might want to support Intel CET (https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/4d/2a/control-flow-enforcement-technology-preview.pdf)

It is a relatively new thing and supported by bfd, but not by gold yet: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22915
BFD commit: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2017-06/msg00270.html

2. GNU_PROPERTY_STACK_SIZE. ("Linker should select the maximum value

among all input relocatable objects and copy this property to the output. Run-time loader should raise the stack limit to the value specified in this property.")
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22914)

Both of these require linker to know about .note.gnu.property. Second because is a part of System V ABI now
(and so I supposed we might want to support it in LLD anyways or at least to teach llvm-readobj to parse it for now
and error out on .note.gnu.property section, hence this patch).

About using in the wild I found Linux kernel discussion about that feature (NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0):
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/8/9/529
Looks like they plan to use it, though there are no patches yet AFAIK.

Second because is a part of System V ABI now

It supposed to be "Second is a part of System V ABI now"

Since this function is templated on ELFT I think you can just used ELFT::Addr:

uint64_t StackSize = *(ELFT::Addr*)Data.data();

[grimar]

• Addressed review comment.

Yes, you're right, thanks.

[• espindola]

test/tools/llvm-readobj/note-gnu-property.s

Shouldn't this cause llvm-readobj to exit with a non-0 value?

[grimar]

• Adjusted output format to match readelf.

test/tools/llvm-readobj/note-gnu-property.s

15

I think no, because Binutils readelf return 0 in this case.

Though it reports things in a slightly different format:

      Properties: stack size: 0x100
	stack size: <corrupt length: 0x4> 
	no copy on protected 
	<application-specific type 0xfefefefe data: >
	stack size: <corrupt length: 0> 
	no copy on protected <corrupt length: 0x1> 
	<corrupt type (0x2) datasz: 0x1>

I updated the patch to follow.

[• espindola]

LGTM with a nit since this is just dumping something that gnu tools are now producing.

This is templated, so use ELFT::Word.
