Subject: binutils: strip produces UNDEFINED instruction on armhf

Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2020 08:24:55 -0400

Package: binutils
Version: 2.35-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

strip -s on saved_gcl in package gcl transforms the following executable entry in .plt:

00020d9c <sigaction@plt>:
   20d9c:	4778      	bx	pc
   20d9e:	e7fd      	b.n	20d9c <sigaction@plt>
   20da0:	e28fc601 	add	ip, pc, #1048576	; 0x100000
   20da4:	e28ccab0 	add	ip, ip, #176, 20	; 0xb0000
   20da8:	e5bcf938 	ldr	pc, [ip, #2360]!	; 0x938

to the following entry which produces SIGILL (undefined instruction) at runtime:

00020d9c <sigaction@plt>:
   20d9c:	e7fd4778 			; <UNDEFINED> instruction: 0xe7fd4778
   20da0:	e28fc601 	add	ip, pc, #1048576	; 0x100000
   20da4:	e28ccab0 	add	ip, ip, #176, 20	; 0xb0000
   20da8:	e5bcf938 	ldr	pc, [ip, #2360]!	; 0x938

It is unclear how this is effected, as the contents of 0x20d9c through 0x20da8 are unmodified.

Thanks for your work on Debian!

Camm, please could you report that upstream, together with a reproducer and/or
binary files?
