[PATCH] Fix the ld flags not be applied to tst-execstack-mod.so

[Zong Li]

The Makefile variable name loses the file extension (.so). It causes
the linker option not applies to the corresponding file that it's
file name matchs with the variable without LDFLAGS- prefix.

Hi,

Chiming in as I'm looking into these things myself in context of testing for ARC
port submission. Do we really need to fix this part - in this way. I'd vote to not
force the execstack through linker and rely on gcc generating this itself when it
knows it doing something for trampolines. And only if target gcc doesn't support
it (detected via configure test) should this be done.

The whole point of this test is to verify executable stack changes on 
dlopen of a module requiring an executable stack.  Thus, for this test to 
work correctly, this module must be forced to have a marking as needing an 
executable stack.

I'm not contesting that at all. For this exact test, I recently had to fix a
kernel bug for allowing mprotect(PROT_EXEC) stack mappings on ARC.

But given the dso code has nested function, a well equipped gcc when generating
trampoline code would also generate the GNU_STACK segment for the dso
automatically, without need to force the same via the linker flags as is done in
the Makefile currently. Only when a port's gcc doesn't support this (ARC gcc
didn't until recently), should we need ld assist, and this could be detected using
a configure test - No ?

The test should achieve the executable stack markings independent of 
whether nested functions require them on that architecture (for example, 
it should still have the markings on architectures with function 
descriptors).

In glibc now, this option doesn't pass to linker, the module is still
not executable on stack.
I think that we need this patch to fix up it or another patch to
remove the variable in Makefile
if it is not necessary. Both are fine for me. For now, it is a little
bit strange because it present
in Makefile but has no effect.

I think we should have the option in a properly named variable.  But the 
patch will need review and we're currently in a release freeze.

Hi Joseph,

We fix up the all failures of math cases on RV32 and we are going to
submit the next version of RV32 port.
If this patch is suitable, I think we need it to pass
elf/tst-execstack and elf/tst-execstack-needed cases.

If you feel a patch has not been reviewed promptly, you should ping it 
weekly (outside of the freeze period), making sure to include the URL to 
the original patch posting in the ping messages.

We leave the previous release freeze. I ping again here.

This looks okay to me.  Can you commit this yourself, or do you need
someone who commits it for you?

No, I can't commit it by myself.

Fix the ld flags for applying the 'execstack' option correctly.
