  The EI_ABIVERSION field of the ELF header in executables and shared
libraries can be bumped to indicate the minimum ABI requirement on the
dynamic linker.  However, EI_ABIVERSION in executables isn't checked by
the Linux kernel ELF loader nor the existing dynamic linker.  Executables
will crash mysteriously if the dynamic linker doesn't support the ABI
features required by the EI_ABIVERSION field.  The dynamic linker should
be changed to check EI_ABIVERSION in executables.

Add a glibc version, GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR, to indicate DT_RELR support so
that the existing dynamic linkers will issue an error on executables with
GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR dependency.  Issue an error if there is a DT_RELR entry
without GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR dependency nor GLIBC_PRIVATE definition.

Support __placeholder_only_for_empty_version_map as the placeholder symbol
used only for empty version map to generate GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR without any
symbols.

I think it only make sense to add the GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR if the ABI actually 
supports DT_RELR, otherwise if the ABI start to support old glibcs might
wrongly assumes DT_RELR and fails with undefined behavior at runtime
(which this patch essentially tries to avoid).

One line per definition.

This test should be enable iff for $(have-dt-relr) == yes.

Same as before. Maybe use the same strategy we do for time64: add a config.h
define to HAVE_DTRELR (set by configure) and use it to set the symbol if
it is defined.

This define would be used on dl-version.c to also enable the l_abi_version
check.

The DT_RELR set enables DT_RELR in glibc for all targets.

This test checks if libc.so has the GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR
version definition.   Since it doesn't require a new linker,
there is no need to check $(have-dt-relr).   This test
passes with an old linker.

If I understood correctly, if we add GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR on 2.36 but only enable
it on some architecture on 2.37 and try to run a binary with DT_RELR enabled
on glibc 2.36, _dl_check_map_versions won't accuse a failure and it will
eventually only fail at runtime (since relocation won't be applied).  My
understanding we are trying to avoid such failures.

My patch set enables DT_RELR and GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR on glibc 2.36
for all, regardless of binutils version.   There is no per-arch
behavior.    Only
DT_RELR run-time tests are enabled for linkers with -z pack-relative-relocs.

But it still does not fail when the architecture does not actually implement
RELR even when static linker does:

$ clang --target=aarch64-linux-gnu -fuse-ld=lld -Wl,-z,pack-relative-relocs -fpie -o test -pie test.c
$ aarch64-glibc-linux-gnu-readelf -S test | grep relr\.dyn
  [ 9] .relr.dyn         RELR             0000000000000528  00000528
$ ./elf/ld.so --library-path . ./test
$

I would expect that even when binary adds GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR, if dynamic linker
does not have DT_RELR it would fail early.

Does the linker add the version dependency? Does ld.so support DT_RELR?

But ld.so does not support DT_RELR

The dynamic linker is supposed to support executing binaries using RELR 
relocations on all architectures - there's not meant to be anything 
architecture-specific about that support.  What's architecture-specific is 
the static linker support (thus, if missing in the static linker used to 
build and test glibc, then (a) the dynamic linker could still run binaries 
using RELR if they were built using some other static linker, but (b) none 
of the glibc binaries, either installed or test, will contain any RELR 
relocations themselves).

Indeed, I was confused by the expected support.  This part seems ok H.J.

Agree. Having the generic support helps GNU ld developers to contribute
RELR for non-x86. 
When I first seen "Add --disable-default-dt-relr" I was thinking whether
it is necessary to add this so early, but then I realized that this
essentially turns the whole glibc testsuite into tests
for GNU ld's RELR support. binutils itself has very few run-time tests
and bugs tend to be difficult to surface.
