            Bug ID: 24344
           Summary: [dwz] Support relocatable elf
           Product: dwz
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
          Assignee: nobody at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: vries at gcc dot gnu.org
                CC: dwz at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

When building openSUSE:Factory/kernel-vanilla I get lots of "is not a shared
library" errors, like f.i.:
...
[ 3916s] dwz:
"./lib/modules/4.20.13-0-vanilla/kernel/sound/usb/6fire/snd-usb-6fire.ko.debug"
is not a shared library
...

This is a file with debug info for a loadable module, which is an ELF
relocatable:
...
$ file
./usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/4.20.13-0-vanilla/kernel/sound/usb/6fire/snd-usb-6fire.ko.debug
./usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/4.20.13-0-vanilla/kernel/sound/usb/6fire/snd-usb-6fire.ko.debug:
ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
BuildID[sha1]=5f01e04c17fe8b2f9941b0981ff89ebbe3eb308e, with debug_info, not
stripped
...

Dwz doesn't support relocatables atm. To do so, it would have to add support to
parse and update RELA section related to debug sections.

Not sure if this feature would be useful for anything else than loadable
modules.

If we are only interested in kernel loadable modules then we could run eu-strip
--reloc-debug-sections[-only] before running dwz:

      --reloc-debug-sections Resolve all trivial relocations between debug
                             sections if the removed sections are placed in a
                             debug file (only relevant for ET_REL files,
                             operation is not reversable, needs -f)

      --reloc-debug-sections-only
                             Similar to --reloc-debug-sections, but resolve all
                             trivial relocations between debug sections in
                             place.  No other stripping is performed (operation
                             is not reversable, incompatible with -f, -g,
                             --remove-comment and --remove-section)

That way there are no relocations anymore between the .debug_sections. Which is
fine because although the .ko files are ET_REL you wouldn't link them with any
other object file. dwz should then double check the .ko is really a kernel
module on which eu-strip --reloc-debug-sections has been run before processing
the file.
