[PATCH 19/32] x86/vdso2c: Align LOCAL symbols between vdso{-timens,}.so

From: Dmitry Safonov <hidden>
Date: 2019-02-06 00:12:55
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit), x86 entry code, x86 vdso · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen, Andy Lutomirski

Align not only VDSO entries as on timens VDSO, but also addresses of
local functions. Otherwise, ld will put them after everything else
into *(.text*). That will result in common VDSO size bigger than
timens VDSO size (sic!).

Unfortunately, filtering by STB_WEAK doesn't work for ia32 VDSO:
by some reason gcc transforms weak symbols into local symbols in .so,
i.e.:
    27: 00000000   219 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT   12 clock_gettime
    29: 00000000    95 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT   14 gettimeofday
    32: 00000000    40 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT   16 time

become:
    20: 000006e0   219 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   12 clock_gettime
    31: 000007c0    95 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   12 gettimeofday
    33: 00000820    40 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   12 time

that results in the same align for two functions in .entries file:
		. = ABSOLUTE(0x6e0);
		*(.text.__vdso_clock_gettime*)
		. = ABSOLUTE(0x6e0);
		*(.text.clock_gettime*)

As result, ld becomes a very sad animal and refuses to cooperate:
ld:arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/vdso32.lds:339 cannot move location counter backwards (from 0000000000000762 to 00000000000006e0)

Align local functions on VDSO to timens VDSO and filter weak functions
from .lds script.
