MIPS: VDSO: Avoid including .got in dynamic segment
After commit 2db1ec80dfd5 ("MIPS: VDSO: Fold MIPS_DISABLE_VDSO into MIPS_GENERIC_GETTIMEOFDAY"), building ARCH=mips allnoconfig with LLVM=1 shows some warnings from llvm-readelf while checking the VDSO for dynamic relocations: llvm-readelf: warning: 'arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.dbg.raw': invalid PT_DYNAMIC size (0xa4) llvm-readelf: warning: 'arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.dbg.raw': PT_DYNAMIC dynamic table is invalid: SHT_DYNAMIC will be used The blamed commit alters the link order of objects into vdso.so.raw, placing vgettimeofday.o after sigreturn.o. This ultimately results in the .text section shrinking slightly in size, which in turn changes the offset of the .dynamic section. - [ 9] .text PROGBITS 000002f0 0002f0 000930 00 AX 0 0 16 - [10] .dynamic DYNAMIC 00000c20 000c20 000090 08 A 5 0 4 + [ 9] .text PROGBITS 000002f0 0002f0 000924 00 AX 0 0 16 + [10] .dynamic DYNAMIC 00000c14 000c14 000090 08 A 5 0 4 Changing the offset of the .dynamic section causes the dynamic segment size to grow by the same amount, which triggers a warning in llvm-readelf because PT_DYNAMIC's p_filesz (0xa4) is no longer a multiple of its sh_entsize (8): - DYNAMIC 0x000c20 0x00000c20 0x00000c20 0x00098 0x00098 R 0x10 + DYNAMIC 0x000c14 0x00000c14 0x00000c14 0x000a4 0x000a4 R 0x10 The size of the dynamic segment was already incorrect before the blamed comment, as it should be 0x90 like the .dynamic section above (18 entries at 8 bytes per entry); it just so happens that 0x98 % 8 is 0, whereas 0xa4 % 8 is 4, so there was no warning. Looking at the section to segment mapping of the dynamic segment reveals that it includes the .got section, as it is implicitly placed after .dynamic by ld.lld's orphan section heuristics and inherits its segments from the linker script.
