[Test Plan] * Build and run the official (make) check: git clone git://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git mkdir build && cd build ../glibc/configure --prefix=/usr && make -j8 && make check [Where problems could occur] * In case relr_addr is not replaced everywhere it's deletion in elf64-ppc.c can cause problems, which will mainly occur at build time. * The relr section/offset array may lead to problems if the array is not properly handled or used. * The rewrite of append_relr_off may cause issues due to wrong allocs erroneous pointer arithmetic or array handling. * The entirely new sort_relr function may introduce new code issues or performance issues. * The adjustments of ppc64_elf_size_stubs and ppc64_elf_build_stubs to the new relr code could be done wrong in which case the linker support is still not working. * But the patch was discussed at the upstream mailing list: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-March/thread.html#119921 * and is limited to ppc, and even to file 'elf64-ppc.c'. __________ == Comment: #0 - Matheus Salgueiro Castanho <mscasta...@ibm.com> - 2022-06-09 09:32:29 == ---Problem Description--- Latest glibc uses DT_RELR relocations, but linker support is incomplete as of binutils-2.38-3ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 22.04.
