Bug ID: 23900
Summary: Can't detect GNU program property generated by older
linkers
Product: binutils
Version: 2.32 (HEAD)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: hjl.tools at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Linkers group input note sections with the same name into one output
note section with the same name. One output note section is placed in
one PT_NOTE segment. Since new linkers merge input .note.gnu.property
sections into one output .note.gnu.property section, there is only
one NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 note in one PT_NOTE segment with new linkers.
Since older linkers treat input .note.gnu.property section as a generic
note section and just concatenate all input .note.gnu.property sections
into one output .note.gnu.property section without merging them, we may
see invalid NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 note in PT_NOTE segment:
[hjl@gnu-4 tmp]$ cat x.S
#ifdef __LP64__
# define ALIGN 3
#else
# define ALIGN 2
#endif
.section ".note", "a"
.p2align ALIGN

'x' has invalid NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 note. But GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED
has the GNU_PROPERTY_X86_UINT32_VALID bit set, which can also be set by
-mx86-used-note=yes. We need a way to mark NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 note in
PT_NOTE segment is valid.
