Error on shared lib call to @local ifunc
On powerpc32, making ifuncs have non-default visibility in shared libraries or pies can result in runtime failures. The problem is that if gcc is told that a given function has non-default visibility, then calls to that function are assumed to be local (which is true) and thus need not go via a plt call stub (which is false for ifunc). If the caller has no other reason to set up the got pointer (r30), code won't be emitted to do so. However, a pic plt call stub makes use of r30 to load the plt entry. So a call to an ifunc, which always needs a plt entry, will fail. This patch makes ld emit an error for the problem case, and allows calls to non-default visibility ifuncs to work in normal executables. I also fix some cases where ifuncs fail when using the old bss-plt. * elf32-ppc.c (ppc_elf_check_relocs): For @local call to ifunc, error when shared and force a plt call otherwise. (ppc_elf_size_dynamic_sections): Don't emit DT_PPC_GOT unless plt_type == PLT_NEW. (ppc_elf_relocate_section): Add missing test to resolve ifuncs to the appropriate call stub.
