obj.rs

//! Object file builder.
//!
//! Creates ELF image based on `Compilation` information. The ELF contains
//! functions and trampolines in the ".text" section. It also contains all
//! relocation records for the linking stage. If DWARF sections exist, their
//! content will be written as well.
//!
//! The object file has symbols for each function and trampoline, as well as
//! symbols that refer to libcalls.
//!
//! The function symbol names have format "_wasm_function_N", where N is
//! `FuncIndex`. The defined wasm function symbols refer to a JIT compiled
//! function body, the imported wasm function do not. The trampolines symbol
//! names have format "_trampoline_N", where N is `SignatureIndex`.

    /// This will generate a `.eh_frame` section, but not one that can be
    /// naively loaded. The goal of this section is that we can create the
    /// section once here and never again does it need to change. To describe
    /// dynamically loaded functions though each individual FDE needs to talk
    /// about the function's absolute address that it's referencing. Naturally
    /// we don't actually know the function's absolute address when we're
    /// creating an object here.
    ///
    /// To solve this problem the FDE address encoding mode is set to
    /// `DW_EH_PE_pcrel`. This means that the actual effective address that the
    /// FDE describes is a relative to the address of the FDE itself. By
    /// leveraging this relative-ness we can assume that the relative distance
    /// between the FDE and the function it describes is constant, which should
    /// allow us to generate an FDE ahead-of-time here.
    ///
    /// For now this assumes that all the code of functions will start at a
    /// page-aligned address when loaded into memory. The eh_frame encoded here
    /// then assumes that the text section is itself page aligned to its size
    /// and the eh_frame will follow just after the text section. This means
    /// that the relative offsets we're using here is the FDE going backwards
    /// into the text section itself.
    ///
    /// Note that the library we're using to create the FDEs, `gimli`, doesn't
    /// actually encode addresses relative to the FDE itself. Instead the
    /// addresses are encoded relative to the start of the `.eh_frame` section.
    /// This makes it much easier for us where we provide the relative offset
    /// from the start of `.eh_frame` to the function in the text section, which
    /// given our layout basically means the offset of the function in the text
    /// section from the end of the text section.
    ///
    /// A final note is that the reason we page-align the text section's size is
    /// so the .eh_frame lives on a separate page from the text section itself.
    /// This allows `.eh_frame` to have different virtual memory permissions,
    /// such as being purely read-only instead of read/execute like the code
    /// bits.
