[LLD][ELF][AArch64] Add support for R_AARCH64_LD64_GOTPAGE_LO15 relocation

[zatrazz]

Summary

It is not used by LLVM, but GCC might generates it when compiling
with -fpie, as indicated by PR#40357 [1].

The testcase depends on https://reviews.llvm.org/D94611 to parse
gotpage_lo15 and https://reviews.llvm.org/D94809 to set the correct
placement of _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ as expected by gcc.

Besides the regression check, I build a llvm (clang;clang-tools-extra;
compiler-rt;lld) with -fpie and -DLLVM_ENABLE_PIC=OFF with
gcc9 with DLLVM_ENABLE_LLD=ON to check if the
R_AARCH64_LD64_GOTPAGE_LO15 is handled correctly on large
projects.

The resulted build generates about 445619
R_AARCH64_LD64_GOTPAGE_LO15 relocations and the resulting
llvm shows no regression on check-all.

Thanks for working on this. It will be very useful for people using GCC yet using LLD as a linker on AArch64. Will try and take a look later today, if not then I should have some time tomorrow morning.

I think that this should be

return getAArch64Page(sym.getGotVA() + a) - getAArch64Page(in.got->getVA());

From https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/master/aaelf64/aaelf64.rst the expression is: G(GDAT(S+A))-Page(GOT)
Where GOT is "GOT is the address of the Global Offset Table"
Page(p) will be the same as Page(GOT) for many entries close to the start of the GOT.

IIUC the intent is to get an offset from the base of the GOT so that the same register can hold the base of the GOT for the whole function.

adrp x0, _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
ldr x1, [x0, #:gotpage_lo15:foo]
ldr x2, [x0, #:gotpage_lo15:bar]

lld/test/ELF/aarch64-gotpage.s

5

This particular test won't catch the case where Page(GOT) != Page(P). Perhaps something like a linker script that puts the GOT at the last 8-bytes of a page (I think .got is 8 byte aligned on AArch64)

.got (0x10000 - 8) : { *.got }

This would put the first entry in the same page as Page(GOT) but the second entry should be in the second page. This should be visible in the ldr disassembly.

[zatrazz]

I will update the patch, since it is incomplete and requires https://reviews.llvm.org/D94809 .

lld/ELF/InputSection.cpp

Indeed it misses the addend in the account. I am not sure if G() should be page aligned as well, the AArch64 ABI is only explict about Page() operation, gold at least does not seem to align it. I think the correct formula is in fact:

return sym.getGotVA() + a - getAArch64Page(in.got->getVA());

[zatrazz]

Patch updated from comments, main changes are:

• Fixed getRelocTargetVA fomula.
• Fixed some lint issue.
• Add a got displacement on .got for the test.

[zatrazz]

Ping.

[psmith]

Looks like we need to make sure that the relocation is a static link time constant so that it can be used in PIE and Shared Libs. Otherwise LGTM.

lld/ELF/Relocations.cpp

410

I think R_AARCH64_GOT_PAGE needs to be added here, otherwise we get a link error about text relocations when -pie or --shared.

lld/test/ELF/aarch64-gotpage.s

6

Will be worth adding a test case with pie or shared to make sure the relocation is allowed in those cases.

[MaskRay]

LG, but please wait for @psmith.

Nit: newer tests prefer ## for non-RUN-non-CHECK comments.

Please see aarch64-fpic-got.s. The idea is that we want to exercise the isStaticLinkTimeConstant path, i.e.

if global is defined in a shared object, this can still be linked in -shared mode.

Personally I don't think having another test making global defined in the executable is necessary.

You can change common symbols to regular data symbols since we've already have sufficient common tests and this test does not need to tie to common.

[zatrazz]

Updated patch based on previous comments. The R_AARCH64_GOT_PAGE is added on
the isStaticLinkTimeConstant and the test is changed to check for shared build as well.

[peter.smith]

Thanks for the updates. LGTM too.
