-Subject: [PATCH] x86: Add a GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED note if needed
-
-When -z separate-code, which is enabled by default for Linux/x86, is
-used to create executable, ld won't place any data in the code-only
-PT_LOAD segment.  If there are no data sections placed before the
-code-only PT_LOAD segment, the program headers won't be mapped into
-any PT_LOAD segment.  When the executable tries to access it (based
-on the program header address passed in AT_PHDR), it will lead to
-segfault.  This patch inserts a GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED note if
-there may be no data sections before the text section so that the
-first PT_LOAD segment won't be code-only and will contain the program
-header.
-
-Testcases are adjusted to either pass "-z noseparate-code" to ld or
-discard the .note.gnu.property section.  A Linux/x86 run-time test is
-added.
-
-bfd/
-
-	PR ld/23428
-	* elfxx-x86.c (_bfd_x86_elf_link_setup_gnu_properties): If the
-	separate code program header is needed, make sure that the first
-	read-only PT_LOAD segment has no code by adding a
-	GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED note.

-Existing properties may be removed during property merging.  We avoid
-adding X86_ISA_1_NEEDED property only if existing properties won't be
-removed.
-
-bfd/
-
-	PR ld/23428
-	* elfxx-x86.c (_bfd_x86_elf_link_setup_gnu_properties): Don't
-	add X86_ISA_1_NEEDED property only if existing properties won't
-	be removed.
-
-ld/
-
-	PR ld/23428
-	* testsuite/ld-elf/dummy.s: New file.
-	* testsuite/ld-elf/linux-x86.S: Add X86_FEATURE_1_AND property.
-	* testsuite/ld-elf/linux-x86.exp: Add dummy.s to pr23428.

-Subject: [PATCH] x86: Properly merge GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-Without the GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED property, all ISAs may be used.
-If a bit in the GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED property is unset, the
-corresponding x86 instruction set isn’t used.  When merging properties
-from 2 input files and one input file doesn't have the
-GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED property, the output file shouldn't have
-it neither.  This patch removes the GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED
-property if an input file doesn't have it.
-
-This patch replaces the GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED property with the
-GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_NEEDED property which is the minimum ISA
-requirement.
