From 785a53373c22e3b75afcaffb99cbc9484dae9276 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fangrui Song Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2022 18:26:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] riscv module: remove (NOLOAD) commit 60210a3d86dc57ce4a76a366e7841dda746a33f7 upstream. On ELF, (NOLOAD) sets the section type to SHT_NOBITS[1]. It is conceptually inappropriate for .plt, .got, and .got.plt sections which are always SHT_PROGBITS. In GNU ld, if PLT entries are needed, .plt will be SHT_PROGBITS anyway and (NOLOAD) will be essentially ignored. In ld.lld, since https://reviews.llvm.org/D118840 ("[ELF] Support (TYPE=) to customize the output section type"), ld.lld will report a `section type mismatch` error (later changed to a warning). Just remove (NOLOAD) to fix the warning. [1] https://lld.llvm.org/ELF/linker_script.html As of today, "The section should be marked as not loadable" on https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Output-Section-Type.html is outdated for ELF.
