sandbox: Remove a TEXTREL on Linux ARM.
On Android, the sandbox logic is put into a shared library and the linker errors out on having a TEXTREL. The LDR pseudo-instruction directs the assembler to place the address of the label in a "literal pool"[1], and then use a PC-relative load from that pool to get the address during execution. The pool is responsible for generating the R_ARM_RELATIVE TEXTREL. Using the ADR instruction[2] does not produce the TEXTREL. This instruction directs the assembler to calculate the PC-relative address to the label using an immediate. The text makes this difference more clear: ... 8: 4805 ldr r0, [pc, #20] ; (20 <SyscallAsm+0x20>) a: e007 b.n 1c <SyscallAsm+0x1c> ... 1c: bd80 pop {r7, pc} 1e: 0000 .short 0x0000 20: 0000001c .word 0x0000001c Versus: ... 8: 4804 ldr r0, [pc, #16] ; (1c <SyscallAsm+0x1c>) a: e007 b.n 1c <SyscallAsm+0x1c> ... 1c: bd80 pop {r7, pc} 1e: bf00 nop [1] http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0041c/Babbfdih.html [2] http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0040d/Cihdhgbe.html BUG=308763 Review URL: https://codereview.chromium.org/119453002 git-svn-id: svn://svn.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/src@242141 0039d316-1c4b-4281-b951-d872f2087c98
