#! @PERL@ # This script handles linking the tool executables on Linux, # statically and at an alternative load address. # # Linking statically sidesteps all sorts of complications to do with # having two copies of the dynamic linker (valgrind's and the # client's) coexisting in the same process. The alternative load # address is needed because Valgrind itself will load the client at # whatever address it specifies, which is almost invariably the # default load address. Hence we can't allow Valgrind itself (viz, # the tool executable) to be loaded at that address. # # Unfortunately there's no standard way to do 'static link at # alternative address', so these link_tool_exe_*.in scripts handle # the per-platform hoop-jumping. # # What we get passed here is: # first arg # the alternative load address # all the rest of the args # the gcc invocation to do the final link, that # the build system would have done, left to itself # # We just let the script 'die' if something is wrong, rather than do # proper error reporting. We don't expect the users to run this # directly. It is only run as part of the build process, with # carefully constrained inputs. # # Linux specific complications: # # - need to support both old GNU ld and gold: use -Ttext= to # set the text segment address if that is all we have. We really # need -Ttext-segment. Otherwise with GNU ld sections or notes # (like the build-id) don't get at the desired address. But older # linkers only know about -Ttext, not -Ttext-segment. So configure # checks for us and sets FLAG_T_TEXT. # # - If all we have is -Ttext, then we need to pass --build-id=none # (that is, -Wl,--build-id=none to gcc) if it accepts it, to ensure # the linker doesn't add a notes section which ends up at the default # load address and so defeats our attempts to keep that address clear # for the client. However, older linkers don't support this flag, # so it is tested for by configure.in and is shipped to us as part of # argv[2 ..]. # # So: what we actually do: # # pass the specified command to the linker as-is, except, add # "-static" and "-Ttext[-segment]=<argv[1]>" to it. # Previously we did this by adding these options after the first # word of the rest of the arguments, which works in the common case # when it's something like "gcc". But the linker invocation itself # might be multiple words, say if it's "ccache gcc". So we now put # the new options at the end instead. # use warnings; use strict; # expect at least: alt-load-address gcc -o foo bar.o die "Not enough arguments" if (($#ARGV + 1) < 5); my $ala = $ARGV[0]; shift; # Remove $ala from @ARGV # check for plausible-ish alt load address die "Bogus alt-load address" if (length($ala) < 3 || index($ala, "0x") != 0); my $cmd = join(" ", @ARGV, "-static -Wl,@FLAG_T_TEXT@=$ala"); #print "link_tool_exe_linux: $cmd\n"; # Execute the command: my $r = system($cmd); if ($r == 0) { exit 0; } else { exit 1; }
