Subject: [PATCH 2/4] BaseTools/Scripts/GccBase.lds: export image base symbol
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2020 19:34:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200608173413.1100679-3-ard.biesheuvel@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200608173413.1100679-1-ard.biesheuvel@arm.com>
To help converted ELF images perform self-relocation, export a symbol
'ElfImageBase' that can be used in the code to discover the start of
the image in memory.
Note the use of PROVIDE() - this ensures that the symbol is only emitted
if a reference to it exists in the code being linked, but no definition.
This means the symbol is never emitted in a way that can conflict with
existing code.
