| This is the beta release of binutils 2.25.51.0.2 for Linux, which is |
| based on binutils 2015 0515 master branch on sourceware.org plus |
| various changes. It is purely for Linux. |
| |
| All relevant patches in patches have been applied to the source tree. |
| You can take a look at patches/README to see what have been applied and |
| in what order they have been applied. |
| |
| Starting from the 2.23.52.0.2 release, when creating executables, BFD |
| linker will issue an error for undefined weak reference which is |
| defined in a shared library from DT_NEEDED. Previously BFD linker |
| will silently include the shared library from DT_NEEDED. |
| |
| Starting from the 2.21.51.0.3 release, you must remove .ctors/.dtors |
| section sentinels when building glibc or other C run-time libraries. |
| Otherwise, you will run into: |
| |
| http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12343 |
| |
| Starting from the 2.21.51.0.2 release, BFD linker has the working LTO |
| plugin support. It can be used with GCC 4.5 and above. For GCC 4.5, you |
| need to configure GCC with --enable-gold to enable LTO plugin support. |
| |
| Starting from the 2.21.51.0.2 release, binutils fully supports compressed |
| debug sections. However, compressed debug section isn't turned on by |
| default in assembler. I am planning to turn it on for x86 assembler in |
| the future release, which may lead to the Linux kernel bug messages like |
| |
| WARNING: lib/ts_kmp.o (.zdebug_aranges): unexpected non-allocatable section. |
| |
| But the resulting kernel works fine. |
| |
| Starting from the 2.20.51.0.4 release, no diffs against the previous |
| release will be provided. |
| |
| You can enable both gold and bfd ld with --enable-gold=both. Gold will |
| be installed as ld.gold and bfd ld will be installed as ld.bfd. By |
| default, ld.bfd will be installed as ld. You can use the configure |
| option, --enable-gold=both/gold to choose gold as the default linker, |
| ld. IA-32 binary and X64_64 binary tar balls are configured with |
| --enable-gold=both/ld --enable-plugins --enable-threads. |
| |
| Starting from the 2.25.51.0.2 release, the x86 assembler will optimize |
| out relocations against defined non-weak global branch targets with |
| default visibility by default. This Linux kernel patch is needed to |
| create a working x86 Linux kernel if it hasn't been applied: |

| Starting from the 2.18.50.0.4 release, the x86 assembler no longer |
| accepts |
| |
| fnstsw %eax |
| |
| fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax and the upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged. |
| Please use |
| |
| fnstsw %ax |
| |
| Starting from the 2.17.50.0.4 release, the default output section LMA |
| (load memory address) has changed for allocatable sections from being |
| equal to VMA (virtual memory address), to keeping the difference between |
| LMA and VMA the same as the previous output section in the same region. |
| |
| For |
| |
| .data.init_task : { *(.data.init_task) } |
| |
| LMA of .data.init_task section is equal to its VMA with the old linker. |
| With the new linker, it depends on the previous output section. You |
| can use |
| |
| .data.init_task : AT (ADDR(.data.init_task)) { *(.data.init_task) } |
| |
| to ensure that LMA of .data.init_task section is always equal to its |
| VMA. The linker script in the older 2.6 x86-64 kernel depends on the |
| old behavior. You can add AT (ADDR(section)) to force LMA of |
| .data.init_task section equal to its VMA. It will work with both old |
| and new linkers. The x86-64 kernel linker script in kernel 2.6.13 and |
| above is OK. |
| |
| The new x86_64 assembler no longer accepts |
| |
| monitor %eax,%ecx,%edx |
| |
| You should use |
| |
| monitor %rax,%ecx,%edx |
| |
| or |
| monitor |
| |
| which works with both old and new x86_64 assemblers. They should |
| generate the same opcode. |
| |
| The new i386/x86_64 assemblers no longer accept instructions for moving |
| between a segment register and a 32bit memory location, i.e., |
| |
| movl (%eax),%ds |
| movl %ds,(%eax) |
| |
| To generate instructions for moving between a segment register and a |
| 16bit memory location without the 16bit operand size prefix, 0x66, |
| |
| mov (%eax),%ds |
| mov %ds,(%eax) |
| |
| should be used. It will work with both new and old assemblers. The |
| assembler starting from 2.16.90.0.1 will also support |
| |
| movw (%eax),%ds |
| movw %ds,(%eax) |
| |
| without the 0x66 prefix. Patches for 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels are |
| available at |
| |

| http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/linux-2.6-seg-5.patch |
| |
| The ia64 assembler is now defaulted to tune for Itanium 2 processors. |
| To build a kernel for Itanium 1 processors, you will need to add |
| |
| ifeq ($(CONFIG_ITANIUM),y) |
| CFLAGS += -Wa,-mtune=itanium1 |
| AFLAGS += -Wa,-mtune=itanium1 |
| endif |
| |
| to arch/ia64/Makefile in your kernel source tree. |
