From bfad381c0d1e19cae8461e105d8d4387dd2a14fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2014 15:59:48 -0700 Subject: x86/vdso: Improve the fake section headers Fully stripping the vDSO has other unfortunate side effects: - binutils is unable to find ELF notes without a SHT_NOTE section. - Even elfutils has trouble: it can find ELF notes without a section table at all, but if a section table is present, it won't look for PT_NOTE. - gdb wants section names to match between stripped DSOs and their symbols; otherwise it will corrupt symbol addresses. We're also breaking the rules: section 0 is supposed to be SHT_NULL. Fix these problems by building a better fake section table. While we're at it, we might as well let buggy Go versions keep working well by giving the SHT_DYNSYM entry the correct size. This is a bit unfortunate: it adds quite a bit of size to the vdso image. If/when binutils improves and the improved versions become widespread, it would be worth considering dropping most of this.
