58 * Format of a relocation entry of a Mach-O file. Modified from the 4.3BSD
59 * format. The modifications from the original format were changing the value
60 * of the r_symbolnum field for "local" (r_extern == 0) relocation entries.
61 * This modification is required to support symbols in an arbitrary number of
62 * sections not just the three sections (text, data and bss) in a 4.3BSD file.
63 * Also the last 4 bits have had the r_type tag added to them.
65 struct relocation_info
{
66 long r_address
; /* offset in the section to what is being
68 unsigned int r_symbolnum
:24, /* symbol index if r_extern == 1 or section
69 ordinal if r_extern == 0 */
70 r_pcrel
:1, /* was relocated pc relative already */
71 r_length
:2, /* 0=byte, 1=word, 2=long */
72 r_extern
:1, /* does not include value of sym referenced */
73 r_type
:4; /* if not 0, machine specific relocation type */
75 #define R_ABS 0 /* absolute relocation type for Mach-O files */
78 * The r_address is not really the address as it's name indicates but an offset.
79 * In 4.3BSD a.out objects this offset is from the start of the "segment" for
80 * which relocation entry is for (text or data). For Mach-O object files it is
81 * also an offset but from the start of the "section" for which the relocation
82 * entry is for. See comments in <mach-o/loader.h> about the r_address feild
83 * in images for used with the dynamic linker.
85 * In 4.3BSD a.out objects if r_extern is zero then r_symbolnum is an ordinal
86 * for the segment the symbol being relocated is in. These ordinals are the
87 * symbol types N_TEXT, N_DATA, N_BSS or N_ABS. In Mach-O object files these
88 * ordinals refer to the sections in the object file in the order their section
89 * structures appear in the headers of the object file they are in. The first
90 * section has the ordinal 1, the second 2, and so on. This means that the
91 * same ordinal in two different object files could refer to two different
92 * sections. And further could have still different ordinals when combined
93 * by the link-editor. The value R_ABS is used for relocation entries for
94 * absolute symbols which need no further relocation.
98 * For RISC machines some of the references are split across two instructions
99 * and the instruction does not contain the complete value of the reference.
100 * In these cases a second, or paired relocation entry, follows each of these
101 * relocation entries, using a PAIR r_type, which contains the other part of the
102 * reference not contained in the instruction. This other part is stored in the
103 * pair's r_address field. The exact number of bits of the other part of the
104 * reference store in the r_address field is dependent on the particular
105 * relocation type for the particular architecture.
109 * To make scattered loading by the link editor work correctly "local"
110 * relocation entries can't be used when the item to be relocated is the value
111 * of a symbol plus an offset (where the resulting expresion is outside the
112 * block the link editor is moving, a blocks are divided at symbol addresses).
113 * In this case. where the item is a symbol value plus offset, the link editor
114 * needs to know more than just the section the symbol was defined. What is
115 * needed is the actual value of the symbol without the offset so it can do the
116 * relocation correctly based on where the value of the symbol got relocated to
117 * not the value of the expression (with the offset added to the symbol value).
118 * So for the NeXT 2.0 release no "local" relocation entries are ever used when
119 * there is a non-zero offset added to a symbol. The "external" and "local"
120 * relocation entries remain unchanged.
122 * The implemention is quite messy given the compatibility with the existing
123 * relocation entry format. The ASSUMPTION is that a section will never be
124 * bigger than 2**24 - 1 (0x00ffffff or 16,777,215) bytes. This assumption
125 * allows the r_address (which is really an offset) to fit in 24 bits and high
126 * bit of the r_address field in the relocation_info structure to indicate
127 * it is really a scattered_relocation_info structure. Since these are only
128 * used in places where "local" relocation entries are used and not where
129 * "external" relocation entries are used the r_extern field has been removed.
131 * For scattered loading to work on a RISC machine where some of the references
132 * are split across two instructions the link editor needs to be assured that
133 * each reference has a unique 32 bit reference (that more than one reference is
134 * NOT sharing the same high 16 bits for example) so it move each referenced
135 * item independent of each other. Some compilers guarantees this but the
136 * compilers don't so scattered loading can be done on those that do guarantee
139 #if defined(__BIG_ENDIAN__) || defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN__)
141 * The reason for the ifdef's of __BIG_ENDIAN__ and __LITTLE_ENDIAN__ are that
142 * when stattered relocation entries were added the mistake of using a mask
143 * against a structure that is made up of bit fields was used. To make this
144 * design work this structure must be laid out in memory the same way so the
145 * mask can be applied can check the same bit each time (r_scattered).

177 * Relocation types used in a generic implementation. Relocation entries for
178 * nornal things use the generic relocation as discribed above and their r_type
179 * is GENERIC_RELOC_VANILLA (a value of zero).
181 * Another type of generic relocation, GENERIC_RELOC_SECTDIFF, is to support
182 * the difference of two symbols defined in different sections. That is the
183 * expression "symbol1 - symbol2 + constant" is a relocatable expression when
184 * both symbols are defined in some section. For this type of relocation the
185 * both relocations entries are scattered relocation entries. The value of
186 * symbol1 is stored in the first relocation entry's r_value field and the
187 * value of symbol2 is stored in the pair's r_value field.
189 * A special case for a prebound lazy pointer is needed to beable to set the
190 * value of the lazy pointer back to its non-prebound state. This is done
191 * using the GENERIC_RELOC_PB_LA_PTR r_type. This is a scattered relocation
192 * entry where the r_value feild is the value of the lazy pointer not prebound.
