PowerPC PLT16 relocations
The PowerPC64 ELFv2 ABI and the PowerPC SysV ABI support a number of relocations that can be used to create and access a PLT entry. However, the relocs are not well defined. The PLT16 family of relocs talk about "the section offset or address of the procedure linkage table entry". It's plain that we do need a relative address when PIC as otherwise we'd have dynamic text relocations, but "section offset" doesn't specify which section. The most obvious one, ".plt", isn't that useful because there is no readily available way of addressing the start of the ".plt" section. Much more useful would be "the GOT/TOC-pointer relative offset of the procedure linkage table entry", and I suppose you could argue that is a "section offset" of sorts. For PowerPC64 it is better to use the same TOC-pointer relative addressing even when non-PIC, since ".plt" may be located outside the range of a 32-bit address. However, for ppc32 we do want an absolute address when non-PIC as a GOT pointer may not be set up. Also, for ppc32 PIC we have a similar situation to R_PPC_PLTREL24 in that the GOT pointer is set to a location in the .got2 section and we need to specify the .got2 offset in the PLT16 reloc addend. This patch supports PLT16 relocations using these semantics. This is not an ABI change for ppc32 since the relocations were not previously supported by GNU ld, but is for ppc64 where some of the PLT16 relocs were supported. I'm not particularly concerned since the old ppc64 PLT16 reloc semantics made them almost completely useless. bfd/ * elf32-ppc.c (ppc_elf_check_relocs): Handle PLT16 relocs.
