I've removed this person from the list of subscribers. Unless he

Could you explain the motivation for configuring the default hash
style? If "gnu" gives the best application startup time, why would we
use a different one?

Generally, the commit log lacks a bit of background, i.e the "why" we
would want such a change.

Thanks!

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] gcc: Support configure option --with-linker-hash-style

[Stefan Fröberg]

Hi Thomas

Well, I was just worried that if setting the linking hash style to stone
(aka "gnu") then could
it maybe break builds in some other archs than x86, x86_64 and ARM ?

So I played carefull and made it configurable by choice.

Im not sure but I think that option has been hiding in GCC since 4.x and
buildroot lowest is 4.9.
So if it's okay I can cook another patch where it just set's it in stone
without choice ?

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] gcc: Support configure option --with-linker-hash-style

[Romain Naour]

Hi Thomas,

I'm looking at this oldest patch in the patchwork...

So, at the moment we use both hash (sysv and gnu) by default for toolchains with
binutils >= 2.30, except for mips architecure which still use sysv hash.

See [1]:
  # Enable gnu hash only on GNU targets, but not mips
  mips*-*-*) enable_default_hash_style=sysv ;;
  *-*-gnu* | *-*-linux* | *-*-nacl*) enable_default_hash_style=both ;;
  *) enable_default_hash_style=sysv ;;

gnu hash style was introduced by [2] (binutils 2.18)

The gnu hash style is enabled by default since binutils 2.30 [3] along with sysv
hash style.

If --hash-style option is supported by the compiler, glibc use both hash (sysv
and gnu) [4]. But this doesn't mean that all binaries will be build with gnu
style hash if binutils < 2.30.

So, I'm not sure we want to enable only gnu style for all binaries on the target
(especially the libc). Binaries that contains only gnu hash style are
incompatible with binaries that contains only sysv hash style.

The default for the choice should be BR2_GCC_HASH_STYLE_BOTH instead of
BR2_GCC_HASH_STYLE_GNU if we want to make this option configurable.

Best regards,
Romain

 To be exact: since 2.30, binutils has an option for the default hash style, and
that default is "both" (except for mips), while before the default was "sysv".

 ... which it is for all gcc versions we support...

 ... or if it is mips.

 However, if GCC is configured with --with-linker-hash-style=foo, then all
binaries *will* actually be built with that hash style, no?


> So, I'm not sure we want to enable only gnu style for all binaries on the target
> (especially the libc). 

 But if I understand correctly, glibc overrides it anyway and always sets
"both"? So for glibc, at least, there shouldn't be a problem?


 As far as I understand, there shouldn't be a problem because all libraries and
executables *will* be built with the same hash style. There may be three
problems though:

1. If binutils defaults to "sysv" for mips, perhaps the GNU hash style is broken
there? So perhaps we should disable the option for mips?

2. Some packages may (actually do) override the default hash style. So if you
select hash style sysv in gcc, and use a libc which doesn't override it, and
then try to link a program that itself overrides to hash style gnu, it will fail.

3. Similar for binary packages: we don't build them, so we don't control the
hash style. Probably, though, binary packages will use hash style both.

 Or we could just bite the bullet and see how it goes wrong :-)

 It makes some kind of sense to make it configurable for now, so that there is a
way out if there are a few packages that fail with the wrong hash style. But
then at least we should randomize the options in the autobuilders. The good
thing is that any problems will be immediately visible at link time (I think at
least that that's the case; I hope it's not at dynamic load time that the
problem occurs... And of course, dlopen()'ed libraries will only have runtime
problems.)

 Arnout

I'm not sure if gcc's "--with-linker-hash-style=foo" (added in 4.7.0 [1]) win
against "-Wl,--hash-style=bar" added by glibc. (This also mean
--with-linker-hash-style needs gcc >= 4.7.0).

"Prepend --hash-style=LINKER_HASH_STYLE to whatever link_spec we had before."

We should have : "--hash-style=foo --hash-style=bar" on the linker command line.

("bar" should be used in this case I believe)

This must be verified.

Well, we don't have any explanation in the commit log adding the
--enable-default-hash-style option about mips. We don't know why we need to use
sysv on mips.

Indeed. IIUC it should be a runtime problem with the dynamic loader.
I haven't tested this patch so far...

Maybe we have to check each binary package (ex opengl Mali).

Actually, it's not clear to me about the need of using hash sysv only or gnu
only, why using both hash is not sufficient?
