The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
dynamically-linked executables. The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
dynamic linker. The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both}
controls whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or
both. In some new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default
passes --hash-style=gnu to the linker, so that a standard invocation
of "gcc -shared" results in producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".
The new ".gnu.hash" sections need to be dealt with the same way as
".hash" sections in all respects; only the dynamic linker cares about
their contents. To work with older dynamic linkers (i.e. preexisting
releases of glibc), a binary must have the old ".hash" section. The
--hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new dynamic linker
can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can still handle.
The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to
build vDSO images for the kernel. On ia64, the failure mode for
this is a boot-time panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND
segment winds up ill-formed.
This patch addresses the problem in two ways.
First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside
".hash". This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or
old tools), with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.
Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced. This is the
most conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.
There is some concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any
known old production system) might choke on --hash-style=both
binaries. The optimizations provided by the new style of hash section
do not really matter for a DSO with a tiny number of symbols, as the
vDSO has. If someone wants to use =gnu or =both for their vDSO builds
and worry less about that compatibility, just change the option and
the linker script changes will make any choice work fine.
