ARC: ldso: don't use _DYNAMIC@gotpc construct #2
This removes _DYNAMIC@gotpc from elf_machine_load_address() This is a seperate commit to callout the fact that old code was actually broken but was NOT caught since it never gets called (and will never be) since ld.so only calls it if kernel doesn't pass AT_BASE auxvt, which is not true for Linux. if (!auxvt[AT_BASE].a_un.a_val) auxvt[AT_BASE].a_un.a_val = elf_machine_load_address(); So while the intent was to remove _DYNAMIC@gotpc construct, we need to come up with something which works. The build time address computation of .dynamic which works well is: - "ld %1, [pcl, _DYNAMIC@gotpc] \n" + "ld %1, [pcl, _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_@pcl] \n" However the runtime address of .dynamic can only be generated with "add %0, pcl, _DYNAMIC@pcl \n" which unfortunately is what is currently broken as it is converted to i_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_t and thus refers to runtime address of .got and not .dyanmic Thus we resort to using an arbit symbol _dl_start at the expense of an extra GOT entry and a bogus R_ARC_NONE relo in ldso itself which now needs to be ignored.
