Subject: [PATCH] Better supported way to set symbol versions for legacy
syscalls
Using a linker script to set a symbol versions is an undocumented
hack and doesn't work reliably in many cases. It works (to some
degree) with the bfd linker, but fails with gold or lld. And even
with bfd it can break when using --gc-sections or LTO.
The result may be a library where the code has been discarded and
the versioned symbols are unusable, e.g.
23: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT ABS getxattr@ATTR_1.0
instead of
23: 000033c0 0 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 11 getxattr@ATTR_1.0
Remove the linker script entirely and set symbol versions with the
symver attribute if available (in gcc >= 10, but not in clang),
otherwise use the traditional global asm solution with a .symver
directive.
Those are the documented ways to do it and well supported by (almost)
all configurations. (The exception is old gcc with LTO; a workaround
is included, but some versions may still need -flto-partition=none).
