The option aims to + make post-processing tools to add program header entries very easily. Note that + sorting program header entries after adding new ones may be necessary to meet + the constraints of the ELF file format. For details, see the elf(5) man page. + (eb6c213) + * mold's -z rewrite-endbr option rewrites superflous endbr64 instructions with nop + as a countermeasure against control-flow highjacking attacks. Previously, this + worked exclusively with object files compiled with -ffunction-sections, + requiring each function to be compiled into a separate section. Starting from + this release, -z rewrite-endbr works on object files compiled without it. In + other words, mold is now capable of rewriting endbr64 instructions even if the + instruction is not at the beginning of a section. (3cb8a52) + * Previously, mold couldn't handle object files containing multiple .eh_frame + sections. The .eh_frame is a section containing data for exception handling. + Usually, an object file contains only one .eh_frame which describes how to + handle exceptions for all text sections in the same file. However, on rare + conditions, it seems ld -r creates an object file containing multiple .eh_frame + sections. mold is now able to handle such object files. (f4c5a8a) + * mold -run <command> is an easy way to run the given command with a virtual + environment in which the ld command is replaced with mold. The feature is + implemented using LD_PRELOAD to hook fork(2)-family functions. Before this + release, some invocations of ld were not intercepted correctly because we missed + the posix_spawnp(2) function. Now, the function is intercepted just like other + fork(2)-family functions. (3fd1cec) + * mold used to produce a non-working executable on a rare occasion when all + thread-local variables lacked an initial value and the read-only data required + alignment equal to or greater than the page size. This bug has been resolved. + (de7d37e) + * Previously, mold might assign a different symbol version to a symbol compared to + GNU ld if it matches both a wildcard pattern and an exact pattern in a version + script. Our behavior is now compatible with that of GNU ld. (0fdbace) + * [x86-64, i686] Recent versions of LLVM emit a machine code sequence for TLSDESC + thread-local variables that differs from GCC's, and mold previously + mis-optimized this sequence, leading to crashes in the linked programs. In other + words, if you are using LLVM/Clang and compile object files with + -mtls-dialect=gnu2, mold might mis-optimize the output file. Now, the bug has + been fixed.
