* [build] Fix the REQUIRE_SYMBOL mechanismMichael Brown2015-03-051-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At some point in the past few years, binutils became more aggressive at removing unused symbols. To function as a symbol requirement, a relocation record must now be in a section marked with @progbits and must not be in a section which gets discarded during the link (either via --gc-sections or via /DISCARD/). Update REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to generate relocation records meeting these criteria. To minimise the impact upon the final binary size, we use existing symbols (specified via the REQUIRING_SYMBOL() macro) as the relocation targets where possible. We use R_386_NONE or R_X86_64_NONE relocation types to prevent any actual unwanted relocation taking place. Where no suitable symbol exists for REQUIRING_SYMBOL() (such as in config.c), the macro PROVIDE_REQUIRING_SYMBOL() can be used to generate a one-byte-long symbol to act as the relocation target. If there are versions of binutils for which this approach fails, then the fallback will probably involve killing off REQUEST_SYMBOL(), redefining REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to use the current definition of REQUEST_SYMBOL(), and postprocessing the linked ELF file with something along the lines of "nm -u | wc -l" to check that there are no undefined symbols remaining.

* [efi] Disallow R_X86_64_32 relocationsMichael Brown2015-02-121-2/+1Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UEFI binaries may be relocated to any location within the 64-bit address space. We compile as position-independent code with hidden visibility, which should force all relocation records to be either PC-relative (in which case no PE relocations are required) or full 64-bit relocations. There should be no R_X86_64_32 relocation records, since that would imply an invalid assumption that code could not be relocated above 4GB. Remove support for R_X86_64_32 relocation records from util/elf2efi.c, so that any such records result in a build failure rather than a potential runtime failure.

* [efi] Fix building with newer binutilsMichael Brown2013-03-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Newer versions of bfd.h require definitions for the PACKAGE and PACKAGE_VERSION macros used by autotools. Work around this by manually defining these macros before including bfd.h.

* [efi] Fix the 32-bit version of elf2efi64Geoff Lywood2010-07-211-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, if elf2efi.c is compiled using a 32-bit HOST_CC, then the resulting elf2efi64 binary will generate 32-bit EFI binaries instead of 64-bit EFI binaries. The problem is that elf2efi.c uses the MDE_CPU_* definitions to decide whether to output a 32-bit or 64-bit PE binary. However, MDE_CPU_* gets defined in ProcessorBind.h, depending on the compiler's target architecture. Overriding them on the command line doesn't work in the expected way, and you can end up in cases where both MDE_CPU_IA32 and MDE_CPU_X64 are defined. Fix by using a separate definition, EFI_TARGET_IA32/EFI_TARGET_X64, which is specified only on the command line.

* [efi] Verify object format support in elf2efi.cGeoff Lywood2010-05-271-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | Currently, if you attempt to build 64-bit EFI binaries on a 32-bit system without a suitable cross-compiling version of libbfd, the iPXE build will die with a segmentation fault in elf2efi64. Fix by properly handling the return value from bfd_check_format(). Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [build] Rename gPXE to iPXEMichael Brown2010-04-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and updating URLs to match. Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

elf2efi converts a suitable ELF executable (containing relocation information, and with appropriate virtual addresses) into an EFI executable. It is less tightly coupled with the gPXE build process and, in particular, does not require the use of a hand-crafted PE image header in efiprefix.S. elf2efi correctly handles .bss sections, which significantly reduces the size of the gPXE EFI executable.
