Commit Message

On a glibc recent proposal [1] to add Linux mseal support [2],
Mike Hommey raised that this feature might potentially break Firefox
on Linux.  The issue is Firefox is built with DT_RELR support, and
post-processed with a tool to both remove the GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR
dependency and instrument the binaries to apply the relocation
themselves so they can deploy Firefox regardless if loader supports
DT_RELR or not (some more details at [3]).

To accomplish it, the instrumentation mimics the dynamic loader and
temporarily undo the RELRO segment to be able to apply those
relocations, and redo it afterward.  This will break if mseal is
applied as default.

The GNU_PROPERTY_MEMORY_SEAL gnu property is a way to mark such
objects to no be sealed by glibc.  When linked with
-Wl,-z,noseal (the default), glibc will not seal either the binary or
the shared library.

The new property is ignored if present on ET_REL objects, and only
added on ET_EXEC/ET_DYN if the linker option is used.  A gnu property
is used instead of DT_FLAGS_1 flag to allow memory sealing to work
with ET_EXEC without PT_DYNAMIC support (at least on glibc some ports
still do no support static-pie).

This change looks odd.  Now we merge properties even when
there is no property.

Shouldn't the input seal property have been removed already?

Please check if there no seal property instead. This applies to
all such tests.

The problem this change is handling is how to remove a GNU_PROPERTY_MEMORY_SEAL
present in ET_REL objects if '-z memory-seal' is not issues.  If we add the 
property beforehand, then merge can no determine whether it can came from
the ET_REL or if was added by 'info->memory_seal'.

From _bfd_elf_get_property, property_unknown is returned for a new
property if the type one is not found (from the memset after bfd_alloc).
Afaiu, property_ignored/property_corrupt are only returned by the
architectures hooks.  The property_remove should not matter here, since
with info->memory_seal the attribute should always be added, and 
property_number should not happen because elf_merge_gnu_properties
will change GNU_PROPERTY_MEMORY_SEAL to property_remove.

The problem is when we have only one ET_REL with a gnu property,
in this case elf_merge_gnu_property_list won't be called (since there is
need to merge operation); but we do need to remove the property is
'info->memory_seal' is not set.

Both property-seal-1 and property-seal-3 tests this.

It is doing this, isn't? The readelf -n check here expects no output, i.e,
not memory sealing.

The testsuite adds '-mx86-used-note=no' for the testcase (from 
ld/testsuite/ld-elf/elf.exp) and this is indeed what I see with
RUNTESTFLAGS="-v -v".  Do I need to add something else?
