riscv module: remove (NOLOAD)

2022-04-15T12:15:00Z

[ Upstream commit 60210a3d86dc57ce4a76a366e7841dda746a33f7 ] 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"The section should be marked as not loadable" on https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Output-Section-Type.html is outdated for ELF.

RISC-V: Add section of GOT.PLT for kernel module

2018-04-03T03:00:54Z

Separate the function symbol address from .plt to .got.plt section. The original plt entry has trampoline code with symbol address, there is a 32-bit padding bwtween jar instruction and symbol address. Extract the symbol address to .got.plt to reduce the module size.

RISC-V: Add sections of PLT and GOT for kernel module

2018-04-03T03:00:54Z

The address of external symbols will locate more than 32-bit offset in 64-bit kernel with sv39 or sv48 virtual addressing. Module loader emits the GOT and PLT entries for data symbols and function symbols respectively. The PLT entry is a trampoline code for jumping to the 64-bit real address. The GOT entry is just the data symbol address. Signed-off-by: Zong Li Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt
