Romain Naour 10e289e0a9 support/testing: test_hardening: update toolchain to aarch64 for checksec tests
TestRelroPartial is broken since the last checksec update to 2.7.1 [1]
(Buildroot 2024.08) due to a relro check fix [2] that doesn't work for
powerpc architecture where .got.plt doesn't exist for some reasons
(that's why the expected result "full" is replaced by "Partial").

From [3]:

  if ${readelf} -d "${1}/exe" 2> /dev/null | grep -q 'BIND_NOW' || ! ${readelf} -l "${1}/exe" 2> /dev/null | grep -q '\.got\.plt'; then
    echo_message '\033[32mFull RELRO   \033[m   ' 'Full RELRO,' ' relro="full"' '"relro":"full",'
  else
    echo_message '\033[33mPartial RELRO\033[m   ' 'Partial RELRO,' ' relro="partial"' '"relro":"partial",'

checksec tool is problably tested upstream on more common architectures
like x86_64 or aarch64 than powerpc64 e5500. This may explain why
checksec broke on powerpc64 e5500 target.

Also, the Booltin powerpc64-e5500--glibc--stable-2018.02-2 toolchain
used by test_hardening tests was not updated since the hardening tests
were introduced back in 2018.11 release.

So, switch to the current Bootling aarch64 stable toolchain
(currently Bootlin aarch64 glibc stable 2025.08-1).

Checked that all 6 hardening tests pass with this new toolchain:

  tests.core.test_hardening.TestFortifyConserv
  tests.core.test_hardening.TestFortifyNone
  tests.core.test_hardening.TestRelro
  tests.core.test_hardening.TestRelroPartial
  tests.core.test_hardening.TestSspNone
  tests.core.test_hardening.TestSspStrong

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
