bpf: fix false overflow in eBPF ELF backend linker
When performing DISP{16,32} relocations, the eBPF ELF backend linker needs to convert the relocation from an address into a signed number of 64-bit words (minus one) to jump. Because of this unsigned-to-signed conversion, special care needs to be taken when dividing to ensure the sign bits remain correct. Otherwise, a false relocation overflow error can be triggered. bfd/ChangeLog 2020-08-07 David Faust <david.faust@oracle.com> * elf64-bpf.c (bpf_elf_relocate_section): Ensure signed division for DISP16 and DISP32 relocations. ld/ChangeLog 2020-08-07 David Faust <david.faust@oracle.com> * testsuite/ld-bpf/call-3.s: New file. * testsuite/ld-bpf/call-3.d: Likewise.
