crosstool-ng/packages/binutils/2.24/0011-xtensa-gas-ld-diff-relocation-signed.patch

From 6a17eba5358549d0d6d195bb22b34cdbc068def2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Volodymyr Arbatov <arbatov@cadence.com>

Subject: [PATCH] Use signed data type for R_XTENSA_DIFF* relocation offsets.

R_XTENSA_DIFF relocation offsets are in fact signed. Treat them as such.
Add testcase that examines ld behaviour on R_XTENSA_DIFF relocation
changing sign during relaxation.

bfd/
  * elf32-xtensa.c (relax_section): treat R_XTENSA_DIFF* relocations as
  signed.

gas/
  * config/tc-xtensa.c (md_apply_fix): mark BFD_RELOC_XTENSA_DIFF*
  fixups as signed.
