There are inline transitions between code + and data at literal pool boundaries. There can also be inline + transitions between ARM code and Thumb code, for example in + ARM-Thumb inter-working veneers. Linkers, machine-level + debuggers, profiling tools, and disassembly tools need to map + images accurately. For example, setting an ARM breakpoint on a + Thumb location, or in a literal pool, can crash the program + being debugged, ruining the debugging session. + + ARM ELF entities are mapped (see section 4.4.7.1 below) and + tagged (see section 4.4.7.2 below) using local symbols (with + binding STB_LOCAL). To assist consumers, mapping and tagging + symbols should be collated first in the symbol table, before + other symbols with binding STB_LOCAL. + + To allow properly collated mapping and tagging symbols to be + skipped by consumers that have no interest in them, the first + such symbol should have the name $m and its st_value field equal + to the total number of mapping and tagging symbols (including + the $m) in the symbol table. + + 4.4.7.1 Mapping symbols + + $a Labels the first byte of a sequence of ARM instructions. + Its type is STT_FUNC. + + $d Labels the first byte of a sequence of data items. + Its type is STT_OBJECT. + + $t Labels the first byte of a sequence of Thumb instructions. + Its type is STT_FUNC. + + This list of mapping symbols may be extended in the future. + + Section-relative mapping symbols + + Mapping symbols defined in a section define a sequence of + half-open address intervals that cover the address range of the + section. Each interval starts at the address defined by a + mapping symbol, and continues up to, but not including, the + address defined by the next (in address order) mapping symbol or + the end of the section. A corollary is that there must be a + mapping symbol defined at the beginning of each section. + Consumers can ignore the size of a section-relative mapping + symbol. Producers can set it to 0. + + Absolute mapping symbols + + Because of the need to crystallize a Thumb address with the + Thumb-bit set, absolute symbol of type STT_FUNC (symbols of type + STT_FUNC defined in section SHN_ABS) need to be mapped with $a + or $t. + + The extent of a mapping symbol defined in SHN_ABS is [st_value, + st_value + st_size), or [st_value, st_value + 1) if st_size = 0, + where [x, y) denotes the half-open address range from x, + inclusive, to y, exclusive. + + In the absence of a mapping symbol, a consumer can interpret a + function symbol with an odd value as the Thumb code address + obtained by clearing the least significant bit of the + value. This interpretation is deprecated, and it may not work in + the future. + + Note - the Tagging symbols ($b, $f, $p $m) have been dropped from + the EABI (which is still under development), so they are not + implemented here. */ + +static void +mapping_state (enum mstate state) +{ + static enum mstate mapstate = MAP_DATA; + symbolS * symbolP; + const char * symname; + int type; + + if (mapstate == state) + /* The mapping symbol has already been emitted. + There is nothing else to do. */ + return; + + mapstate = state; + + switch (state) + { + case MAP_DATA: + symname = "$d"; + type = BSF_OBJECT; + break; + case MAP_ARM: + symname = "$a"; + type = BSF_FUNCTION; + break; + case MAP_THUMB: + symname = "$t"; + type = BSF_FUNCTION; + break; + default: + abort (); + } + + symbolP = symbol_new (symname, now_seg, (valueT) frag_now_fix (), frag_now); + symbol_table_insert (symbolP); + symbol_get_bfdsym (symbolP)->flags |= type | BSF_LOCAL; + + switch (state) + { + case MAP_ARM: + THUMB_SET_FUNC (symbolP, 0); + ARM_SET_THUMB (symbolP, 0); + ARM_SET_INTERWORK (symbolP, support_interwork); + break; + + case MAP_THUMB: + THUMB_SET_FUNC (symbolP, 1); + ARM_SET_THUMB (symbolP, 1); + ARM_SET_INTERWORK (symbolP, support_interwork); + break; + + case MAP_DATA: + default: + return; + } +} + +/* When we change sections we need to issue a new mapping symbol. */ + +static void +arm_elf_change_section (void) +{ + flagword flags; + + if (!SEG_NORMAL (now_seg)) + return; + + flags = bfd_get_section_flags (stdoutput, now_seg); + + /* We can ignore sections that only contain debug info. */ + if ((flags & SEC_ALLOC) == 0) + return; + + if (flags & SEC_CODE) + { + if (thumb_mode) + mapping_state (MAP_THUMB); + else + mapping_state (MAP_ARM); + } + else + /* This section does not contain code.
