MIPS64 does not store the 'r_info' field of a relocation table entry as a 64-bit value consisting of a 32-bit symbol index in the high 32 bits and a 32-bit type in the low 32 bits as on other architectures. Instead, the 64-bit 'r_info' field is really a 32-bit symbol index followed by four individual byte type fields. For big-endian MIPS64, treating this as a 64-bit integer happens to be compatible with the layout expected by other architectures (symbol index in upper 32-bits of resulting "native" 64-bit integer). However, for little-endian MIPS64 the parsed 64-bit integer contains the symbol index in the low 32 bits and the 4 individual byte type fields in the upper 32-bits (but as if the upper 32-bits were byte-swapped). To cope, add two helper routines in gelf_getrel.c to translate between the correct native 'r_info' value and the value obtained after the normal byte-swap translation. Use these routines in gelf_getrel(), gelf_getrela(), gelf_update_rel(), and gelf_update_rela(). This fixes 'readelf -r' on little-endian MIPS64 objects which was previously decoding incorrect relocations as well as 'objcopy: invalid symbox index' warnings from objcopy when extracting debug symbols from kernel modules. Even with this fixed, objcopy was still crashing when trying to extract debug symbols from little-endian MIPS64 modules. The workaround in gelf_*rel*() depends on the current ELF object having a valid ELF header so that the 'e_machine' field can be compared against EM_MIPS. objcopy was parsing the relocation entries to possibly rewrite the 'r_info' fields in the update_relocs() function before writing the initial ELF header to the destination object file. Move the initial write of the ELF header earlier before copy_contents() so that update_relocs() uses the correct symbol index values. Note that this change should really go upstream. The binutils readelf source has a similar hack for MIPS64EL though I implemented this version from scratch using the MIPS64 ABI PDF as a reference.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
