Its only purpose is to disable PGO. Where that was not already explicitly done, or irrelevant (because the directory only contains python), I disabled it in moz.build. |

Elfhack is a program to optimize ELF binaries for size and cold startup speed. Presently, it is quite experimental, though it works well for the target it was created for: Firefox's libxul.so. Elfhack currently only does one thing: packing dynamic relocations ; which ends up being a quite complex task, that can be summarized this way: - Remove RELATIVE relocations from the .rel.dyn/.rela.dyn section. - Inject a small code able to apply relative relocations "by hand" after the .rel.dyn/.rela.dyn section. - Inject a section containing relocative relocations in a different and more packed format, after the small code. - Register the small code as DT_INIT function. Make the small code call what was initially the DT_INIT function, if there was one. - Remove the hole between the new section containing relative relocations and the following sections, adjusting offsets and base addresses accordingly. - Adjust PT_LOAD entries to fit new offsets, and add an additional PT_LOAD entry when that is necessary to handle the discrepancy between offsets and base addresses, meaning the section offsets may yet again need adjustments. - Adjust various DT_* dynamic tags to fit the new ELF layout. - Adjust section headers. - Adjust ELF headers. See http://glandium.org/blog/?p=1177#relocations for some figures.
