bFLT binaries are usually created using elf2flt.
The linker script used by elf2flt has defined the .data section like the
following for the last 19 years:
.data : {
_sdata = . ;
__data_start = . ;
data_start = . ;
*(.got.plt)
*(.got)
FILL(0) ;
. = ALIGN(0x20) ;
LONG(-1)
. = ALIGN(0x20) ;
...
}
It places the .got.plt input section before the .got input section.
The same is true for the default linker script (ld --verbose) on most
architectures except x86/x86-64.
The binfmt_flat loader should relocate all GOT entries until it encounters
a -1 (the LONG(-1) in the linker script).
The problem is that the .got.plt input section starts with a GOTPLT header
(which has size 16 bytes on elf64-riscv and 8 bytes on elf32-riscv), where
the first word is set to -1. See the binutils implementation for riscv [1].
This causes the binfmt_flat loader to stop relocating GOT entries
prematurely and thus causes the application to crash when running.
Fix this by skipping the whole GOTPLT header, since the whole GOTPLT header
is reserved for the dynamic linker.
The GOTPLT header will only be skipped for bFLT binaries with flag
FLAT_FLAG_GOTPIC set. This flag is unconditionally set by elf2flt if the
supplied ELF binary has the symbol _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ defined.
ELF binaries without a .got input section should thus remain unaffected.
Tested on RISC-V Canaan Kendryte K210 and RISC-V QEMU nommu_virt_defconfig.
