powerpc common-page-size
max-page-size only matters for demand paged executables or shared libraries, and the ideal size is the largest value used by your operating system. Values larger than necessary just waste file space and memory. common-page-size also affects file and memory size, trading a possible small increase in file size for a decrease in memory size when the operating system is using a common-page-size page. With a powerpc max-page-size of 64k and common-page-size of 4k many executables will use no more memory pages when the system page size is 4k than an executable linked with -z max-page-size=0x1000, yet will still run on a system using 64k pages. However, when running on a system using 64k pages relro protection will not be completely effective. Due to the relro problem, powerpc binutils has been using a default common-page-size of 64k since 2014-12-18 (git commit 04c6a44c7), leading to complaints about increased file and memory sizes. People not using relro do have a valid reason to complain.. So this patch introduces an extra back-end value to use as the default for common-page-size when generating relro executables, and enables the support for powerpc. Non relro executables will now be generated with a default common-page-size of 4k. bfd/ * elf-bfd.h (struct elf_backend_data): Add relropagesize. * elfxx-target.h (ELF_RELROPAGESIZE): Provide default and sanity test. (elfNN_bed): Init relropagesize. * bfd.c (bfd_emul_get_commonpagesize): Add boolean param to select relropagesize. * elf32-ppc.c (ELF_COMMONPAGESIZE): Define as 0x1000. (ELF_RELROPAGESIZE): Define as ELF_MAXPAGESIZE. (ELF_MINPAGESIZE): Don't define. * elf64-ppc.c (ELF_COMMONPAGESIZE): Define as 0x1000. (ELF_RELROPAGESIZE): Define as ELF_MAXPAGESIZE. * bfd-in2.h: Regenerate. ld/ * ldmain.c (main): Move config.maxpagesize and config.commonpagesize initialization to.. * ldemul.c (after_parse_default): ..here. * testsuite/ld-powerpc/ppc476-shared.d: Pass -z common-page-size. * testsuite/ld-powerpc/ppc476-shared2.d: Likewise.
