[PATCH 4/6] refactor linker to lay out ELF files and memory in the same way |
|
Date: |
Sat, 18 May 2013 17:05:38 +0200 |
* module/system/vm/linker.scm (make-linker-object):
(linker-object-section-symbol):
(linker-object-symbols*): Create a symbol to the start of a linker
object. Hide it from the external linker-object-symbols* accessor.
(segment-kind, count-segments): Sections without SHF_ALLOC don't get
segments.
(collate-objects-into-segments): Allow for #f segment types. If two
sections have the same type and flags, leave them in the same order.
(align): Allow for 0 alignment.
(add-elf-objects): New helper: puts the ELF data structures (header,
segment table, and section table) in sections of their own. This
lends a nice clarity and conceptual unity to the linker.
(relocate-section-header, alloc-objects): Lay out segments with
congruent, contiguous addresses, so that we can just mmap the file and
if debugging sections that are not in segments are present, they can
be lazily paged in if needed by the kernel's VM system.
(link-elf): Refactor to use the new interfaces.
* test-suite/tests/linker.test: Update to expect the additional sections
for the header and section table.
