PowerPC inline PLT call support
In addition to the existing relocs we need two more to mark all instructions in the call sequence, PLTCALL on the call itself (plus the toc restore insn for ppc64), and PLTSEQ on others. All relocations in a particular sequence have the same symbol. Example ppc64 ELFv2 assembly: .reloc .,R_PPC64_PLTSEQ,puts std 2,24(1) addis 12,2,puts@plt@ha # .reloc .,R_PPC64_PLT16_HA,puts ld 12,puts@plt@l(12) # .reloc .,R_PPC64_PLT16_LO_DS,puts .reloc .,R_PPC64_PLTSEQ,puts mtctr 12 .reloc .,R_PPC64_PLTCALL,puts bctrl ld 2,24(1) Example ppc32 -fPIC assembly: addis 12,30,puts+32768@plt@ha # .reloc .,R_PPC_PLT16_HA,puts+0x8000 lwz 12,12,puts+32768@plt@l # .reloc .,R_PPC_PLT16_LO,puts+0x8000 .reloc .,R_PPC_PLTSEQ,puts+32768 mtctr 12 .reloc .,R_PPC_PLTCALL,puts+32768 bctrl Marking sequences like this allows the linker to convert them to nops and a direct call if the target symbol turns out to be local. When the call is __tls_get_addr, each relocation shown above is paired with an R_PPC*_TLSLD or R_PPC*_TLSGD reloc to additionally mark the sequence for possible TLS optimization. The TLSLD or TLSGD relocs are emitted first. include/ * elf/ppc.h (R_PPC_PLTSEQ, R_PPC_PLTCALL): Define. * elf/ppc64.h (R_PPC64_PLTSEQ, R_PPC64_PLTCALL): Define. bfd/ * elf32-ppc.c (ppc_elf_howto_raw): Add PLTSEQ and PLTCALL howtos.
