Subject: [PATCH v2 09/15] makefile: Add `norelro` linker option
Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2025 15:18:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250315221813.1265193-10-CFSworks@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250315221813.1265193-1-CFSworks@gmail.com>

RELRO is an instruction to a dynamic loader to make a memory range
read-only after relocations are applied, for added security. Some
linkers (e.g. LLD) require that all sections covered by the RELRO are
contiguous, so that only a single RELRO is needed. U-Boot at present
neither satisfies this requirement (e.g. x86_64 linker script currently
puts .dynamic too far from .got) nor preserves the RELRO when converting
away from ELF, therefore add `-z norelro` to global linker options.

This can be brought back in the future when the linker scripts are
cleaned up and U-Boot understands RELROs.
