commit ead165fa1042247b033afad7be4be9b815d04ade upstream.
Nathan reported objtool failing with the following messages:
warning: objtool: no non-local symbols !? warning: objtool: gelf_update_symshndx: invalid section index
The problem is due to commit 4abff6d48dbc ("objtool: Fix code relocs vs weak symbols") failing to consider the case where an object would have no non-local symbols.
The problem that commit tries to address is adding a STB_LOCAL symbol to the symbol table in light of the ELF spec's requirement that:
In each symbol table, all symbols with STB_LOCAL binding preced the weak and global symbols. As ``Sections'' above describes, a symbol table section's sh_info section header member holds the symbol table index for the first non-local symbol.
The approach taken is to find this first non-local symbol, move that to the end and then re-use the freed spot to insert a new local symbol and increment sh_info.
Except it never considered the case of object files without global symbols and got a whole bunch of details wrong -- so many in fact that it is a wonder it ever worked :/
Specifically:
- It failed to re-hash the symbol on the new index, so a subsequent find_symbol_by_index() would not find it at the new location and a query for the old location would now return a non-deterministic choice between the old and new symbol.
- It failed to appreciate that the GElf wrappers are not a valid disk format (it works because GElf is basically Elf64 and we only support x86_64 atm.)
- It failed to fully appreciate how horrible the libelf API really is and got the gelf_update_symshndx() call pretty much completely wrong; with the direct consequence that if inserting a second STB_LOCAL symbol would require moving the same STB_GLOBAL symbol again it would completely come unstuck.
Write a new elf_update_symbol() function that wraps all the magic required to update or create a new symbol at a given index.
Specifically, gelf_update_sym*() require an @ndx argument that is relative to the @data argument; this means you have to manually iterate the section data descriptor list and update @ndx.
