llvm dev - Apr 2016 - state of the lld linker for aarch64

Hi,

Some time ago there were some information about aarch64 support for the lld
linker project:
 http://lld.llvm.org/open_projects.html#elf-aarch64
Right now there is no such information.
Also there is some presentation described that the simple application can
be linked using
lld:

http://llvm.org/devmtg/2016-03/Presentations/EuroLLVM%202016-%20New%20LLD%20linker%20for%20ELF.pdf

What is the current state of the lld linker for the aarch64 architecture?
If i'm able to link simple application, then how should i do it?

Thanks a lot, Dima.

Hi Dima,

Adhemerval is working on AArch64 support, and it should be mostly
there, though some missing TLS support. He should know more.

cheers,

Here's some info on TLS. Review D18960 has the initial implementation
for TLSDESC support: http://reviews.llvm.org/D18960

I've been occasionally testing FreeBSD/arm64 buildworld with lld and
managed to get everything to link with an earlier version of D18960
and an equivalent set of workarounds as on FreeBSD/amd64. There is
some TLS bug outstanding that caused all binaries to segfault at
start, though. I plan to take another look at that once D18711 and
D18960 land.
