Bug ID: 31097
Summary: strip/unstrip on ET_REL binary might fail elflint on
i386
Product: elfutils
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: tools
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: amerey at redhat dot com
CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
tests/run-strip-strmerge.sh contains tests that strip and unstrip an ET_REL
binary. On i386 it is possible for the resulting binary of these tests to fail
elflint due to the presence of relocations with type R_386_GOTPC that refer to
a non-GOT symbol.
This is caught on i386 because of the presence of an ebl_gotpc_reloc_check for
this arch. Most other ebl backends do not implement this check. It is possible
that similar problems are going undetected on other arches.
We should ensure that strip/unstrip always produce binaries that pass elflint.
We should also implement ebl_gotpc_reloc_check for other backends.
