Lu <hjl.to...@gmail.com> Date: Sat Sep 12 05:37:30 2020 -0700 elf: Add -z unique-symbol to avoid duplicated local symbol names The symbol string table in the .symtab section is optional and cosmetic. The contents of the .symtab section have no impact on run-time execution. The symbol names in the symbol string table help distinguish addresses at different locations. Add a linker option, -z unique-symbol, to avoid duplicated local symbol names in the symbol string table. This feature was well received by the livepatch maintainers. It not only solves the duplicated local symbol name problem, but also would allow livepatch to more precisely locate duplicate symbols in general for patching. bfd/ PR ld/26391 * elflink.c (elf_final_link_info): Add local_hash_table.
