Can gold's max page size for AArch64 be updated to 64k to match current kernel capabilities?

2015-10-01 Thread Chad Rosier 
When attempting to compile and run binaries using recent versions of the
gold linker on AArch64 on a kernel with a 64k page granule, we observe
translation faults before the programs reach main(). When these same
binaries are run on a kernel with a 4k page granule, they run successfully
to completion. We observe that adding '-z max-page-size=0x1' to our
linker flags allows them to run successfully even on a 64k page kernel. We
have also observed the following error when loading shared objects at
runtime on a 64k-page kernel, and suspect it is due to the same issue: 

ELF load command alignment not page-aligned

 

Can gold's max page size for AArch64 be updated to 64k to match current
kernel capabilities?

 

Thanks,

  Chad
