6 * vdso2c requires stripped and unstripped input. It would be trivial
7 * to fully strip the input in here, but, for reasons described below,
8 * we need to write a section table. Doing this is more or less
9 * equivalent to dropping all non-allocatable sections, but it's
10 * easier to let objcopy handle that instead of doing it ourselves.
11 * If we ever need to do something fancier than what objcopy provides,
12 * it would be straightforward to add here.
14 * We're keep a section table for a few reasons:
16 * The Go runtime had a couple of bugs: it would read the section
17 * table to try to figure out how many dynamic symbols there were (it
18 * shouldn't have looked at the section table at all) and, if there
19 * were no SHT_SYNDYM section table entry, it would use an
20 * uninitialized value for the number of symbols. An empty DYNSYM
21 * table would work, but I see no reason not to write a valid one (and
22 * keep full performance for old Go programs). This hack is only
25 * The bug was introduced on 2012-08-31 by:
26 * https://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=56ea40aac72b
27 * and was fixed on 2014-06-13 by:
28 * https://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=fc1cd5e12595
30 * Binutils has issues debugging the vDSO: it reads the section table to
31 * find SHT_NOTE; it won't look at PT_NOTE for the in-memory vDSO, which
32 * would break build-id if we removed the section table. Binutils
33 * also requires that shstrndx != 0. See:
34 * https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17064
36 * elfutils might not look for PT_NOTE if there is a section table at
37 * all. I don't know whether this matters for any practical purpose.
39 * For simplicity, rather than hacking up a partial section table, we
40 * just write a mostly complete one. We omit non-dynamic symbols,
41 * though, since they're rather large.
43 * Once binutils gets fixed, we might be able to drop this for all but
44 * the 64-bit vdso, since build-id only works in kernel RPMs, and
45 * systems that update to new enough kernel RPMs will likely update
46 * binutils in sync. build-id has never worked for home-built kernel
47 * RPMs without manual symlinking, and I suspect that no one ever does
