this is prob because of the new bdirect patch
err no, bdirect wouldnt have anything to do with it either way, i'm still unable to reproduce this ;)
just built/test with the -Bdirect patch backed out, no change (i.e. still fails). I've found that 'objcopy x y' on miscellaneous files frequently changes the alignment of the GNU_RELRO segment. Don't understand that, yet. I'll keep looking.

When using the hardened or hardenednossp compiler, there's still the same problem with binutils-2.16.1-r2. When using the vanilla or hardenednopiessp compiler, the tests succeed fine. But when using the hardenednopie compiler, the binutils tests run fine, but errors occur during the ld tests.

Is there a recommended work-around for this bug? What are the implications of these test failures? How much security is lost by compiling with a vanilla gcc?
use FEATURES=-test
On Gentoo/FreeBSD, the tests previously mentioned, plus one more, fail: FAIL: simple objcopy of executable FAIL: run objcopy of executable FAIL: run stripped executable FAIL: run stripped executable with saving a symbol
I'm trying to build sys-devel/binutils-2.17 and get these failures: tui ~ # grep FAIL /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.17/temp/build.log FAIL: TLS -fpic -shared transitions FAIL: TLS descriptor -fpic -shared transitions FAIL: TLS -fpic and -fno-pic exec transitions FAIL: TLS descriptor -fpic and -fno-pic exec transitions FAIL: TLS -fno-pic -shared FAIL: TLS with global dynamic and descriptors FAIL: ld-scripts/empty-aligned tui ~ # They don't seem related to the other errors/failures reported in this bug. Shall I open a new bug? Please let me know if more information is required.
(In reply to comment #19) I now have another host on which this fails in the same manner: bookshelf ~ # grep FAIL /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.17/temp/build.log FAIL: TLS -fpic -shared transitions FAIL: TLS descriptor -fpic -shared transitions FAIL: TLS -fpic and -fno-pic exec transitions FAIL: TLS descriptor -fpic and -fno-pic exec transitions FAIL: TLS -fno-pic -shared FAIL: TLS with global dynamic and descriptors FAIL: ld-scripts/empty-aligned bookshelf ~ #
people, stop posting your random failures. this bug is about the objcopy failure that is seen on hardened systems only. other bugs are for other issues, search bugzilla.
This bug is still present in 2.17. Running /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.17/work/binutils-2.17/binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/objcopy.exp ... Version /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.17/work/build/binutils/objcopy 2.17 FAIL: run objcopy of executable FAIL: run stripped executable FAIL: run stripped executable with saving a symbol
Still present with 2.18-r1 and funny thing is that if you dirtyhack the test to make tmpdir/copyprog executable (i.e. adding 'exec chmod +x tmpdir/copyprog') makes all these tests pass. So why does not copyprog becomes executable and what does that have to do with RELRO?
Just to keep this updated: Still present in binutils git (GNU objcopy (GNU Binutils) 2.20.51.20091016). Notice how the executable bit are removed by objcopy when adding -pie to the compiler. That is exactly why the testcase cannot execute the file. Other then that, neither diff or the output of "readelf -a" differs between the files. $ GCC_SPECS="/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.1/vanilla.specs" gcc -o tmp tmp.c $ objcopy tmp tmp2 $ ls -l tmp tmp2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 xake xake 8133 16 okt 14.13 tmp -rwxr-xr-x 1 xake xake 8133 16 okt 14.13 tmp2 $ GCC_SPECS="/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.1/vanilla.specs" gcc -pie -o tmp tmp.c $ objcopy tmp tmp2 $ ls -l tmp tmp2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 xake xake 8193 16 okt 14.13 tmp -rw-r--r-- 1 xake xake 8193 16 okt 14.13 tmp2
This is a bug in objcopy that hardened gentoo only exposes, and bugreport have been filed upstream as http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10802. Could someone with the necessary permissions change the URL to that bugreport, and maybe change the subject to something more appropriate, as this is a bug in objcopy and hardened only exposes it in a more visible way? How to reproduce on "vanilla" (have tried gentoo on x86 and amd64, and fedora11 on x86): $ echo "main(){}" > tmp.c && gcc -o tmp tmp.c && objcopy tmp tmp2 && ls -l tmp tmp2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 xake xake 8081 17 okt 09.12 tmp -rwxr-xr-x 1 xake xake 8081 17 okt 09.12 tmp2 $ echo "main(){}" > tmp.c && gcc -fPIE -pie -o tmp tmp.c && objcopy tmp tmp2 && ls -l tmp tmp2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 xake xake 8133 17 okt 09.13 tmp -rw-r--r-- 1 xake xake 8133 17 okt 09.13 tmp2
This is actually a bug, hardened has just exposed it as xake has pointed out.
Fixed upstream with this commit: http://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=e6f618dfdbac2d74bf661e6f7f439f4733ccf3eb Now is this something to incorporate into the patchset or should we just wait for a new upstream release (this is not in 2.20)?

There are no regressions compared to what you currently have installed if you use hardened as those failures is because of PIE and have always failed with PIE.
The objcopy tool is fixed in 2.20.1, should we close this bug now? Other testsuit fails still on hardened, but this particular failing tool (objcopy) is fixed, and other failures should have their own bugs.
sure
