Tue Nov 14 14:57:48 UTC 2023 - Martin Liška <martin.liska@hey.com>

- Update to version 2.3.3
  * --dynamic-list has different semantics for executables and DSOs. Previously,
    mold implemented only the semantics for executables, causing issues with
    libraries such as musl that used this option. mold now handles the option for
    DSOs correctly. (da3f5dd)
  * Old object files often contain .ctors and .dtors sections, which hold function
    pointers for initializing and finalizing processes, respectively. Their roles
    have been superseded by .init_array and .fini_array on most targets. mold worked
    functioned correctly as long as input object files consistently use the old or
    the new sections. However, mixing object files that contain both types of
    initializers/finalizers resulted in some functions not being executed. This
    issue has been fixed. (3f88964)
  * --defsym can cause the linker to crash if a given symbol is not defined. The
    crash bug has been fixed. (ff3d54d)
  * [POWER10] On rare occasions, pointers statically initialized to functions could
    be left as null pointers. This bug has been fixed. (31c3b53)
- Remove upstreamed patch power10-fix.patch.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Nov  6 18:20:07 UTC 2023 - Martin Liška <martin.liska@hey.com>

- Add power10 fix power10-fix.patch for #1142.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Nov  5 06:53:29 UTC 2023 - Martin Liška <martin.liska@hey.com>

- Update to version 2.3.2
  * Remove upstream patch fix-arm.patch.
  * mold no longer emits dynamic relocations against the text segment for GNU ifunc
    symbols. Previously, mold emitted such relocations for position-dependent
    executables. (4cdfc7e)
  * mold no longer reports the "REL-type relocation table is not supported for this
    target" error and instead ignore incompatible relocation tables. LLVM generates
    such non-conforming relocation tables for the .llvm.call-graph-profile section.
    This change was made for compatibility. (3791900)
  * mold now pads unused gaps in the text segment with interrupt or NOP
    instructions, instead of leaving them filled with zeros. This alteration does
    not change the program's semantics but prevents disassemblers from interpreting
    the spaces between functions as valid instructions. (c86a59a)
  * mold now creates the .mold-lock file for MOLD_JOBS not in the home directory but
    in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, which is usually /var/user/<uid>. (39cdf61)
  * [ARM32] There was an issue preventing mold from being built on an ARMv8 64-bit
    ARM processor with an ARM32 userland, such as the 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS running
    on a Raspberry Pi 4. This build issue has been resolved. (02ead29)
  * [LoongArch] mold can now handle R_LARCH_PCALA_LO12 relocation for the jirl
    instruction. (d3188e3)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct 25 13:02:13 UTC 2023 - Martin Liška <martin.liska@hey.com>

- Add fix-arm.patch in order to fix failing arm-arm_range-extension-thunk2 test.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Oct 20 08:21:20 UTC 2023 - Martin Liška <martin.liska@hey.com>

- Update to version 2.3.1
  * [ARM32, ARM64, PowerPC, LoongArch] mold 2.3.0 would crash when handling large
    output files. This was due to a bug in the code that creates range extension
    thunks. This issue has now been resolved. (7be1b66)
  * [LoongArch] mold is now capable of handling relocations generated for the
    -mcmodel=extreme flag. (4bd80ec)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct 18 12:34:13 UTC 2023 - Martin Liska <martin.liska@melowntech.com>

- Update to version 2.3.0
  * [x86-64] mold 2.3.0 has introduced an experimental flag, -z rewrite-endbr, which
    rewrites superfluous endbr64 instructions as nop.
  * endbr64 is a relatively recent x86 instruction used to mark locations where an
    indirect jump instruction can transfer control. With control-flow integrity
    enabled (meaning endbr64 is effective), an indirect jump can only target an
    endbr64 or it will trigger a runtime exception. This mechanism significantly
    hinders certain control hijacking attacks, such as ROP or JOP, since attackers
    cannot jump to just any location.
  * When given the -fcf-protection flag, GCC conservatively places an endbr64 at the
    beginning of every global function. This is because the function's address might
    be taken as a pointer by other translation units. However, in most cases,
    function addresses are not actually taken. This conservative approach results in
    an overabundance of unnecessary endbr64 instructions, leading to not only code
    bloating but also a potential decrease in security as there are more locations
    for an attacker to exploit.
  * The new linker option, -z rewrite-endbr, aims to alleviate this issue. The
    linker can carry out a whole-program analysis on the input files to identify
    functions whose addresses are never taken. If -z rewrite-endbr is specified,
    mold will conduct this analysis and replace the initial endbr64 with a nop for
    functions whose addresses aren't taken. (17f0d85)
  * mold now produces a more compact .gdb_index section when using the --gdb-index
    flag. Additionally, mold now generates a correct .gdb_index section for object
    files created by Clang. (a396fa4)
  * mold is now capable of handling input sections larger than 4 GiB. (0ce32d3)
  * [PPC] mold can now generate executables for POWER10 processors. Previously,
    executables produced by mold would crash immediately on startup on POWER10.
    (0f71471)
  * [ARM64] When a function with a non-standard calling convention is exported, it's
    mandatory for the linker to turn on the STO_AARCH64_VARIANT_PCS flag to notify
    the dynamic linker. mold now appropriately sets this flag. (2e3b56e)
  * [RISC-V] mold now supports new GP-relative relocations. (ac3ee91)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Sep 26 20:11:13 UTC 2023 - Martin Liška <martin.liska@hey.com>

- Add build-blake-3-as-static.patch that builts BLAKE 3 support as static library
  into mold. The library is not provided in openSUSE yet.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Sep 24 17:50:53 UTC 2023 - Martin Liška <martin.liska@hey.com>

- Update to version 2.2.0
  * We now use BLAKE3 as a cryptographic hash function instead of SHA256. This
    change has made --build-id a few percent faster. libssl is no longer a build
    dependency. (7f7a744)
  * mold is now a few percent faster than the previous version due to an
    optimization of string merging code path. (1a13c50)
  * mold now emits slightly optimized code for thread-local variable accesses.
    (f057fda, d56f528)
  * [RISC-V] mold now supports TLSDESC relocations. TLSDESC is a new mechanism for
    faster thread-local variable access. We (@ishitatsuyuki) actually led the effort
    to ratify the specification (riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc#373) and
    implement it to compiler toolchain including GCC, GNU binutils and, of course,
    mold. (141556d)
  * mold no longer marks an as-needed .so as "needed" if the .so file is not
    directly used by the output file. Previously, mold marked a .so file as "needed"
    if the .so file was used by another "needed" .so file. (f02db0f)
  * [PPC64] --execute-only now works on 64-bit PowerPC. (ac20d87, 51fec5f)
- Remove openssl dependency.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Aug 13 19:37:35 UTC 2023 - Martin Liška <martin.liska@hey.com>

- Update to version 2.1.0
  * Loongson's LoongArch CPU has been supported. (03b1a1c)
  * -z nosectionheader has been added to eliminate section headers from the output
    file. (084ca55)
  * Previously, linking with the -z pack-relative-relocs option produces an
    executable that glibc 2.38 refuses to run with DT_RELR without GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR
    dependency error. Now, mold produces binaries compatible with glibc 2.38.
    (f467ad1)
  * [ARM64] R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21_NC relocation type has been supported.
    (17a5c3e)
  * [ARM64] R_AARCH64_MOVW_UABS_G3 relocation type has now been handled as a
    PLT-generating relocation to fix an issue when main is not defined in the main
    executable but rather in a .so file. (e764557)
  * [RISC-V] We now merge input .riscv.attributes contents. Previously, we just
    concatenated them. (aa64491)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jul 26 13:07:20 UTC 2023 - Martin Liška <martin.liska@hey.com>

- Update to version 2.0.0
  * License changed to MIT.
  * Previously, mold could not produce an object file with more than 65520 sections
    using the --relocatable option. Now the bug has been fixed. (2e8bd0b)
  * mold now interprets -undefined as a synonym for --undefined instead of -u
    ndefined. This seems inconsistent, as -ufoo is generally treated as -u foo
    (which is an alias for --undefined foo), but this is the behavior of the GNU
    linkers and LLVM lld, so we prioritize compatibility over consistency.
  * -nopie is now handled as a synonym for --no-pie.
  * [RISC-V] R_RISCV_SET_ULEB128 and R_RISCV_SUB_ULEB128 relocation types are now
    supported (4bffe26, 1ac5fe7)
  * [PPC64] R_PPC64_REL32 relocation type is now supported. (ebd780e)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Mar 16 09:48:39 UTC 2023 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.11.0
  * IBM Power10 has been supported. Previously, mold created broken executables for
    that target. (5065547)
  * --hash-style=none has been added to cancel --hash-style=sysv, --hash-style=gnu
    or --hash-style=both. (ec75633)
  * [ARM32] R_ARM_PLT32 relocation type has been supported. (e505900)
  * [RISC-V] R_RISCV_PLT32 relocation type has been supported. (51845ac)
  * Previous versions of mold failed to link some programs in rare corner cases if
    Link-Time Optimization (LTO) is enabled. These bugs have been fixed. (e1a7590,
    62d6537)
  * mold used to ignore dependencies between DSOs. Since this version, if a required
    DSO depends on other as-needed DSO, mold keeps the latter DSO as a required one.
    This improves compatibility with GNU linkers. (1adde7a)
  * [x86-64] mold can now link object files generated by old buggy versions of GCC.
    (d2970e0)
  * [x86-64] Previously, a program with a very large .bss section may fail to link
    due to R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX relocation overflow (#975). This bug has been
    fixed. (627bf7c)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Jan 22 08:23:35 UTC 2023 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.10.1
  * mold 1.10.0 had a buffer overrun bug that causes the linker to terminate
    immediately if compiled with -D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS. We fixed the unsafe memory
    access in this release. (7e65546)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 20 12:19:11 UTC 2023 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.10.0
  * mold now officially supports the --print-dependencies option to print out
    dependency information between input files. Here is a truncated example output
    when linking mold itself with the option. There are many use cases of the
    option; for example, if you want to eliminate the dependency to some library
    from your program, you can use this option to find out all the functions that
    use the library's function to fix them. (6fd47db)
  * [x86-64][s390x] mold now optimizes thread-local variable accesses in shared
    libraries if the library is linked with -z nodlopen. If your shared library is
    not intended to be used via dlopen(2) and your library frequently accesses
    thread-local variables, you might want to pass that option when linking your
    library. (25d02bb, f32ce33)
  * [arm64] mold is now able to optimize GOT load by rewriting an ADDR+LDR
    instruction pair with an ADDR+ADD if the loaded GOT value is known at link-time.
    (f2311b1)
  * mold 1.9.0 was up to 10% slower than 1.8.0 on some multicore machines. We fixed
    the performance regression and made it even faster than 1.8.0. (7132822)
  * Previously, mold failed to report an undefined symbol error if there's a weak
    undefined symbol of the same name. That bug resulted in producing a non-working
    executable instead of reporting a link failure. Now, mold correctly reports such
    link errors. (8936194)
  * mold 1.9.0 might crash with SIGSEGV if --emit-relocs is used with object files
    containing debug info. That bug has been fixed. (e17d7da)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan  6 11:38:43 UTC 2023 - John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <adrian.glaubitz@suse.com>

- Enable build on ppc now that the target is supported upstream

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan  6 09:38:06 UTC 2023 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.9.0
  * mold gained support for the three new targets: 32-bit PowerPC, SH-4 and DEC
    Alpha. Each porting work didn't take more than a few days for us to complete,
    which demonstrate how portable the mold linker is. You can typically port mold
    to a new target just by writing a few hundreds lines of target-specific code.
    See arch-*.cc files in mold/elf/ directory to see how target-specific code
    actually looks like. (651adad, 3411e17, 6231510)
  * Bug fixes and compatibility improvements
  * In a rare occasion, a statically-initialized function pointer might get a wrong
    address in a statically-linked executable. This bug has been fixed. (ccd47db)
  * Fixed a -gdb-index option's crash bug on big-endian hosts. (3c96828)
  * [RISC-V] mold rewrote machine instructions in a wrong way as a result of a wrong
    R_RISCV_HI20 relaxation if the output file was being linked against the high
    address. It's not a problem for user-land programs, but kernels linked with mold
    could crash due to this bug. This bug has been fixed. (3c96828)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Dec 27 09:47:12 UTC 2022 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.8.0
  * The --relocatable (or -r) option has been reimplemented to improve its
    performance and compatibility with the GNU linkers. That option tells the linker
    to combine input object files into another object file instead of into an
    executable or a shared library file. mold has been supporting the feature since
    version 0.9, but until now the output file created with -r looked fairly
    different from what GNU linkers would produce. GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler) in
    particular uses re-linkable object files as dynamic libraries instead of real
    .so files, and it didn't work with mold. Now, mold can produce object files that
    GHC can load. Note that this work was funded by Mercury, so thanks to the
    company to help us improve the product. (Yes, you can ask us to prioritize your
    feature request by funding the project.) (c9a7ae7)
  * --relocatable-merge-sections option has been added. By default, mold keeps
    original input section names for the --relocatable output and therefore does not
    merge input sections into a single output sections unless they are of the same
    name. If --relocatable-merge-sections is given, mold merges input by the usual
    default merging rule. For example, .text.foo and .text.bar are merged to .text
    if and only if --relocatable-merge-sections is given for the --relocatable
    output. (c2a0ae1)
  * -z [no]dynamic-undefined-weak options have been added. This option controls
    whether an undefined weak symbol is promoted to a dynamic symbol or not.
    (ed235f3)
  * --[no-]undefined-version options have been supported. Now, mold warns on a
    symbol name in a version script if it does not match with any defined symbol.
    This change was made so that it is easy to find a typo in a version script.
    (e2d7353)
  * mold now warns on symbol type mismatch. If two object files have the same symbol
    with different symbol types, it usually means your program has a bug. Chances
    are, you are using the same identifier as a function name in one translation
    unit and as a global variable name in another. So it makes sense to warn on the
    mismatch. (b70211e)
  * mold now merges .gnu.note.property sections for various x86 properties.
    (d30d743)
  * The experimental macOS/iOS support has been removed from mold. If you want to
    use it, please use our sold linker instead.
  * --wrap now works with LTO. (07d8911)
  * A global variable initialized with an IFUNC function pointer is now initialized
    correctly with the function's address. Previously, it was mistakenly initialized
    to the function resolver's address. (b2858d2)
  * The filename specified by --version-script or --dynamic-list is now searched
    from library search paths if it does not exist in the current working directory.
    This behavior is compatible with GNU linkers. (3c1a055, 8c87f16)
  * mold now tries to avoid creating copy relocations as much as possible. This
    change fixed a compatibility issue with GHC. (5866c9e)
  * Thread-local variables are now correctly aligned even if there's a TLV with a
    large alignment. (bd46edf)
  * mold can now handle GCC LTO files created with -ffat-lto-objects. (804b843)
  * mold now accepts -z nopack-relative-relocs as an alias for
    --pack-dyn-relocs=none for the sake of compatibility with GNU linkers. (b510588)
  * mold now recognizes -z start-stop-visibility=hidden but ignores it because it's
    the default for mold. GNU linkers support this option to control the visibility
    of linker-synthesized __start_<sectname> and __stop_<sectname> symbols, with
    global as the default visibility. mold creates these symbols with the hidden
    visibility by default, which is desirable for almost all cases. (22c9ec8)
  * [ARM32, i386] mold now emits REL-type relocations instead of RELA-type for the
    --relocatable output file. (8b373d3)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Nov 18 14:08:15 UTC 2022 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.7.1
  * mold 1.7.0 may generate the same build-id for two different output files. We
    fixed the issue in 1.7.1 so that build-id is guaranteed to be unique for each
    different output file. (d8dd124)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Nov 14 11:12:19 UTC 2022 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.7.0
  * [m68k] mold now supports the Motorola 68000 series microprocessors. Yes, it's
    the processor in the original Mac or Sun workstations in the 80s. This work is
    sponsored by m68k hobbyist communities.
  * We fixed a few issues for Facebook/Meta's BOLT optimizer (#789). Starting from
    the next LLVM release (we need llvm/llvm-project@20204db), BOLT should work on
    mold-generated executables out of the box.
  * We fixed a long-standing symbol resolution issue involving GNU UNIQUE symbols
    which caused a link failure for a few programs. (730e970)
  * Previously, if a version script contains a "C++" directive, and a symbol matches
    a non-C++ version pattern and a C++ version pattern, a wrong version could be
    assigned to the symbol. This has been fixed so that the mold's behavior matches
    with GNU ld. (9875150)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Oct 19 08:20:22 UTC 2022 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.6.0
  * [ppc64] mold now supports the original 64-bit big-endian PowerPC ABI (which is
    also known as PPC64 ELFv1 or just ppc64), so that you can build applications for
    older PPC64 systems with mold. Note that this should not be confused with the
    modern PPC64 ELFv2 ABI (which is also known as ppc64le), which is already
    supported by mold.
  * [s390x] Linux/s390x is now supported. Linux/s390x is the Linux environment
    running on IBM z/Architecture mainframes. I've personally never seen a
    mainframe, but we wanted to support it because many Linux distros actively
    support that target, which in turn means there are many enterprise users who are
    using IBM mainframes. Speaking of the porting effort, we do not only port our
    linker to s390x but also found a couple of issues with the existing GCC
    toolchain for s390x. So, we are improving the whole IBM mainframe ecosystem!
  * mold now creates smaller output files. It is most noticeable on targets with
    large page sizes such as PPC64 (on which the common page size is 64 KiB), but
    even on x86-64, it should save a few kilobytes per an output file.
  * [arm64] mold can now link executables with -static-pie. Previously, executables
    linked with that flag crashed immediately.
- Exclude ppc architecture as it is not supported right now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Sep 29 07:06:19 UTC 2022 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.5.1
  * We changed the memory layout to save both memory and disk space in 1.5.0. Even
    though the new layout works fine on most systems, the change made the linker to
    create unusable executables for systems with large pages. Specifically, if you
    specify a large number for the -z max-page-size option, the loader refused to
    execute it with the error while loading shared libraries: cannot apply
    additional memory protection after relocation: Cannot allocate memory error. We
    reverted our recent commits so that mold creates output files with the same
    memory layout as it did before 1.5.0. (e62de0b)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Sep 27 07:10:17 UTC 2022 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.5.0
  * PPC64LE and SPARC64 are now supported as new targets. They haven't yet been as
    well tested as other targets, but they are already able to link mold itself on
    these platforms. (Note that PPC64LE is very unlikely to work on the most recent
    POWER10 machines as we didn't have a chance to test it due to a limited
    availability (POWER10 was released in 2021). If you can support us on this
    matter, please contact us. We also accept donations, so please consider
    supporting our project!)
  * RV32BE and RV64BE (32-bit and 64-bit big-endian RISC-V) are now supported as
    experimental targets. RISC-V is usually little-endian, but there exists a
    big-endian RISC-V as an extension. You can make gcc to emit code for big-endian
    RISC-V by passing -mbig-endian. mold can now link object files generated with
    that option.
  * --compress-debug-sections=zstd is now supported. This is an option to compress
    debug info embedded to an output file with Zstandard compression algorithm.
    Compared to the existing --compress-debug-sections=zlib, zstd is faster and
    gives a higher compression ratio. You probably can't start using zstd
    compression today though, because other tools such as gdb may not be able to
    read zstd-compressed debug info yet. But adding this option early makes mold
    future-proof. (ede7a5a)
  * mold no longer aligns loadable segments to page boundaries to reduce output file
    size. Previously, we allocated holes between loadable segments. The saving by
    this change is most visible for small programs. For example, a "hello world"
    program used to be ~18 KiB on x86-64. It's now 7.2 KiB. (2941d75)
  * Bug fixes and compatibility improvements
  * [RISCV] We optimized code so that the link speed for RISC-V is now comparable to
    the other targets. As an example, linking mold itself (~150 MiB in size) for
    RV64 used to take ~45 seconds on a simulated 16-core machine. It now takes only
    ~0.25 seconds. (3ab5489)
  * mold used to create more than one .rodata section under a certain condition.
    It's not technically wrong but confused Valgrind. This issue has been resolved.
    (25c7aee)
  * [ARM32] Previously, mold failed to promote remaining undefined symbols to
    dynamic symbols if symbols are undefined weak. That caused a link failure for
    libxml (#660). This issue has been resolved. (72e26d9)
  * mold didn't copy symbol types when creating symbol aliases for the --defsym
    option. (8c7f31c)
  * --compress-debug-sections=zlib-gnu has been removed. LLVM lld removed that
    option too as there seems to be no usage of the flag.
- Enable ppc64le and use system zstd library as package dependency.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Sep  4 06:29:52 UTC 2022 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.4.2
  * [RV32] We've fixed several issues for 32-bit RISC-V.
    mold can now build complex programs including itself for the target.
  * [ARM32] mold gained range extension thunks so that it can now link programs whose
    .text is larger than 16 MiB. Previously, mold couldn't link such large programs.
    We've also fixed general stability issues for ARM32.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

- Update to version 1.4.1
  * mold/macOS is now available as an alpha feature. We do not recommend using it for anything
    serious though. Starting from this version, we accept not only mold/Unix issues but also
    mold/macOS ones on our GitHub Issues. Feel free to file a bug if you encounter any problem.
  * We started supporting CMake in addition to Make to build mold. Our long-term plan is to migrate
    from Make to CMake because we want to support Windows eventually and CMake provides
    a better Windows support than Make does. (e6a0e67)
  * There was a bug that mold accidentally exported a hidden symbol from an executable
    if a shared library linked to that executable happened to define the same symbol.
    This caused a build issue with Blender (#606). The bug has been fixed. (b163068)
    --hash-style=both is now the default if no --hash-style option is given. Previously,
    --hash-style=sysv was the default. This change shouldn't affect most users because
    the compiler driver (cc, gcc, clang, etc.) always passes --hash-style to the linker.
    We made this change because GNU ld defaults to --hash-style=both.
  * Alias symbols defined by the --defsym option now have the same scope as the aliased symbols.
    Previously, alias symbols defined by --defsym were always hidden and never
    be exported as dynamic symbols. (5dd1227)
  * mold now accepts foo = bar-style linker script directive to define symbol aliases.
    Previously, such statement was treated as a syntax error.
    This change was made to link mariadb-connector-c correctly (f0e1237)
  * Symbols in mergeable string sections now have correct output section
    indices instead of SHN_UNDEF. (a595c48)
  * [ARM32] Previously, calling a function from ARM code to Thumb code
    caused a program crash due to bug #442. This issue has been fixed. (053b90b)
- Run tests in parallel.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Aug  5 16:54:51 UTC 2022 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.4.0
  * Initial support for the 32-bit RISC-V (RV32) has landed. (d9db6bc)
  * mold now demangles Rust symbols in error messages thanks to @eddyb's rust-demangle.c. (22e1bba)
  * --export-dynamic-symbol and --export-dynamic-symbol-list are now supported for
    the sake of compatibility with LLVM lld. With these options, you can specify
    symbols that should be exported using glob pattern. (e115aae)
  * [x86-64] PLT entries created by mold now always begins with ENDBR64 instruction
    to improve compatibility with Intel IBT (Indirect Branch Tracking.) (e3e371d)
  * mold now defines __dso_handle symbol. The lack of this linker-synthesized symbol
    caused a link error with GCC in some environments (#507). (764d757)
- Remove fix-tests.patch.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Aug  1 05:35:29 UTC 2022 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

Fri Jul  1 09:13:58 UTC 2022 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.3.1
  * mold now supports .preinit_array sections. Without this,
    AddressSanitizer didn't work in some environments. (3b75398)
  * [ARM32] R_ARM_MOVT_PREL and R_ARM_PREL31 relocations are now handled
    correctly so that mold no longer emit spurious "recompile with -fPIC" errors. (5294300)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Jun 18 07:10:09 UTC 2022 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.3.0
  * The --icf=safe option has been supported.
  * LTO now works reliably under a heavy load.
  mold used to abort occasionally under such condition on Linux
  due to a spurious failure of pthread_create(2). (d8a8877)
  * mold now prints out undefined symbol errors in a format similar to LLVM lld. (13816a1)
  * mold now prints out a better error message for the disk full situation. (5969260)
  * mold can now build GCC 12 with LTO. (708ad63)
  * Fixed an LTO issue on 32-bits hosts such as i686. (920266b)
  * mold is now AddressSanitizer and UndefinedSanitizer clean. (fafb75b, 3499ee6)
  * mold used to create broken debug info on 32-bits hosts (#490).
    The bug has been fixed. (0abd0a4)
  * mold used to accept not only a single dash but also double
    dashes for single-letter options. For example, --S was accidentally accepted as an alias for-S.
    This is unconventional, and such options are no longer accepted. (232dafa)
  * --color-diagnostics is now an alias for --color-diagnostics=auto
    instead of --color-diagnostics=always for compatibility with LLVM lld.
  * pkg-config is no longer needed to build mold.
  * The --package-metadata option is supported. (#505, e9f6715)

- Update to version 1.2.1
  * Various bugs in --gdb-index have been fixed.
  * mold now recognizes --thinlto-cache-dir and --thinlto-cache-policy
    for the sake of compatibility with LLVM lld. (7ebd071)
  * mold can now handle TLS common symbols. It looks like GCC
    sometimes creates such symbol for a thread-local variable. (cf850f8)
  * In some edge cases, mold created a non-versioned symbol and
    a versioned one for the same symbol, even though if one symbol is versioned,
    all symbols of the same name must be versioned.
    This bug has been fixed. (8298c0a)
  * mold used to write a PLT address of a symbol instead
    of its address to .symtab. This bug has been fixed. (e088db7)
  * mold can now handle an input file
    with more than 219 symbols. (f1f2d40)
  * /usr/local/libexec/mold/ld is now installed
    as a relative symlink instead of an absolute symlink. (5803c3c)

Sat Jan  1 21:37:43 UTC 2022 - Martin Liška <mliska@suse.cz>

- Update to version 1.0.1:
  * make install now creates /usr/local/libexec/mold/ld as
  a symlink to the mold executable. We do this for GCC.
  By passing -B/usr/local/libexec/mold, you can tell GCC to use ld
  inside that directory instead of /usr/bin/ld. (e8dcecf)
  * xxHash library is now included in the mold's source tree as a subtree for ease of building.
    If you want to link against a libxxhash in a system library directory, pass SYSTEM_XXHASH=1 to make. (665bffa)
  * The extern "C++" directive is now supported in the dynamic list. (7aa5c39)
  * --color-diagnostics is supported. mold used to ignore that flag. (6e290aa)
  * Not only * but also ? are now treated as special characters in the version script wildcard pattern. (31b0248)
  * The --threads=N option has been added as
    an alias for --thread-count=N. (f9ff048)
  * The following option has been added: --defsym (f6e8006), -z nodefaultlib (8c86c28),
    -z separate-code, -z noseparate-code and -z separate-lodable-segments (5601cf4), -z max-page-size (f3766cd)
