Dynamic linker, ld.so, is a standalone program which can be loaded at
any address.  This patch adds a configure option, --enable-static-pie,
to embed the part of ld.so in static executable to create static position
independent executable (static PIE).

This checks for linker fix:

build-many-glibcs.py has no regressions.  But I didn't try --enable-static-pie
with build-many-glibcs.py.  I encourage target maintainers to give
hjl/pie/static
branch a try.

No separate PIE copy of libc.a, is used for static PIE to minimize
GCC driver change.  To improve system security, glibc can be built with
--enable-static-pie, and the same libc.a can be used to build both static
executable and static PIE.

Done.  I also updated NEWS.

Here is the updated patch.

Thanks.

can it be too late to do the relocation in __libc_start_main?

that comes after the crt1 startup code and an arch specific wrapper
which may end up having R_*_RELATIVE relocs for various function
pointers (including __libc_start_main itself and its arguments)

what guarantees that __libc_start_main can always be called
without relocations (pc relative calls have limits on some
targets)?

i'd expect the relocation to happen in the crt1.o startup code.

On which tree?  I think commit 6cd380dd366d728da9f579eeb9f7f4c47f48e474 
added absolute relocations to the startup code, which I expect will not 
work for static PIE.

i'd expect the Scrt1.o to be used for PIE which have no ABS relocs
however it can have RELATIVE relocs if GOT entries are used i think
(even on x86_64).

I think the most useful test for this purpose (of assessing architecture 
support) is adding --enable-static-pie alongside --enable-profile in 
build-many-glibcs.py and seeing how the build goes.

The question should be what's best for the GNU system and the GNU 
toolchain as a whole, rather than minimizing the GCC driver changes.

To me, both the install.texi and NEWS changes read as saying that programs 
such as ldconfig are built as PIEs.  That's a separate matter from 
supporting user programs built as static PIEs.  I'd have thought the main 
point of this feature, which is the one that NEWS and install.texi should 
emphasize, is the support for user programs built as static PIEs.

I expect that all relocations before __libc_start_main should be
resolved by linker.

For x86, I did

x86--64 and i686 are OK.  You may need to update your start.S to avoid
dynamic relocations in static PIE.

I will do that.

PIE libc.a can be used to create both static executable and static PIE.
Also CCC from some OSVs are now default to PIE.  There libc.a is built
with PIE today.  We are discourage static executables.  I don't see the
need for a separate PIE copy of libc.a.  That is OSV has a choice to
either have PIE libc.a or non-PIE libc.a.  I am expecting PIE libc.a
is provided by more OSVs.

All static executables, including tests,  within glibc are built as
static PIE when
 --enable-static-pie is used.  That is how I noticed that
--eh-frame-hdr is needed
for static PIE.

Thanks.  To be clear, I don't think such a build-many-glibcs.py change 
would be appropriate for mainline (given a version of --enable-static-pie 
that changes how libc.a is built rather than enabling building additional 
static-PIE libraries) - although adding one or two additional static-PIE 
configurations to build-many-glibcs.py might be - but for testing purposes 
it's very useful to understand how widely this option works (or at least 
builds) for other architectures.

My point is that NEWS and the install.texi text are for users of glibc, 
and I think it's more significant for users that they can build *their 
own* programs as static PIEs, than that ldconfig and sln are static PIEs.  
So the NEWS and install.texi text should talk about the effects of the 
option on what users can do with the resulting glibc.

Subject: [PATCH] Add --enable-static-pie configure option to build static PIE

Dynamic linker, ld.so, is a standalone program which can be loaded at
any address.  This patch adds a configure option, --enable-static-pie,
to embed the part of ld.so in static executable to create static position
independent executable (static PIE).  A static PIE is similar to static
executable, but can be loaded at any address without help from a dynamic
linker.  When --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc, libc.a is
built as PIE.  The resulting libc.a can be used together with GCC 8 or
above to build static PIE with the compiler option, -static-pie.  But
GCC 8 isn't required to build glibc with --enable-static-pie.  When an
older GCC is used to build glibc with --enable-static-pie, proper input
files are passed to linker to create static executables as static PIE,
together with "-z text" to prevent dynamic relocations in read-only
segments, which are allowed in static PIE.

Static PIE should work on all architectures which support PIE.

NB: No separate PIE copy of libc.a, is used for static PIE to minimize
GCC driver change.  To improve system security, glibc can be built with
--enable-static-pie, and the same libc.a can be used to build both static
executable and static PIE.

Linker requirements to build glibc with --enable-static-pie:

1. Linker supports --no-dynamic-linker to remove PT_INTERP segment from
static PIE.
2. Linker can create working static PIE.  The x86-64 linker needs the
fix for
