Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
It appears that compiling with -flto enabled disables CET support.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
100% using current RHEL-8.3 latest nightly compose.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cat delme.c
int main (void) { return 0; }
2. gcc -fcf-protection delme.c -o delme.exe
3. readelf --wide --notes delme.exe | grep IBT
GNU 0x00000010 NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0
Properties: x86 feature: IBT, SHSTK
4. gcc -fcf-protection -flto delme.c -o delme.lto.exe
5. readelf --wide --notes delme.lto.exe | grep IBT
GNU 0x00000010 NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0
Properties: x86 feature: IBT, SHSTK
6. gcc -fcf-protection -g delme.c -o delme.g.exe
7. readelf --wide --notes delme.g.exe | grep IBT
GNU 0x00000010 NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0
Properties: x86 feature: IBT, SHSTK
8. gcc -fcf-protection -flto -g delme.c -o delme.g.lto.exe
9. readelf --wide --notes delme.g.lto.exe | grep IBT
<no output>
Expected results:
Additional info:
Adding -Wl,-Map,delme.g.lto.map to the gcc command line and then looking
in the map file shows:
Removed property 0xc0000000 to merge 0x55edf35fc4f0B (not found) and 0x55edf3650e10B (0x0)
Removed property 0xc0000001 to merge 0x55edf35fc4f0B (not found) and 0x55edf3650e10B (0x0)
Removed property 0xc0000002 to merge 0x55edf35fc4f0B (0x3) and 0x55edf3822920B (not found)
Removed property 0xc0000002 to merge 0x55edf35fc4f0B (not found) and 0x55edf3822d30B (0x3)
For the failing case (-g -flto) but for other cases:
Removed property 0xc0000000 to merge 0x5640400bf4f0B (not found) and
0x56404013ff10B (0x0)
Removed property 0xc0000001 to merge 0x5640400bf4f0B (not found) and 0x56404013ff10B (0x0)
The versions of the tools involved:
gcc-8.3.1-5.1.el8.x86_64
binutils-2.30-75.el8.x86_64
Note - This may well be a linker bug, but the fact that it is triggered by adding -g to the gcc command line makes me suspect that gcc, or the LTO plugin, is having problems, rather than ld.
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
