x86-64: Add -z mark-plt and -z nomark-plt
The PLT entry in executables and shared libraries contains an indirect branch, like jmp *foo@GOTPCREL(%rip) push $index_foo jmp .PLT0 or endbr64 jmp *foo@GOTPCREL(%rip) NOP padding which is used to branch to the function, foo, defined in another object. Each R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT relocation has a corresponding PLT entry. The dynamic tags have been added to the x86-64 psABI to mark such PLT entries: https://gitlab.com/x86-psABIs/x86-64-ABI/-/commit/6d824a52a42d173eb838b879616c1be5870b593e Add an x86-64 linker option, -z mark-plt, to mark PLT entries with #define DT_X86_64_PLT (DT_LOPROC + 0) #define DT_X86_64_PLTSZ (DT_LOPROC + 1) #define DT_X86_64_PLTENT (DT_LOPROC + 3) 1. DT_X86_64_PLT: The address of the procedure linkage table. 2. DT_X86_64_PLTSZ: The total size, in bytes, of the procedure linkage table. 3. DT_X86_64_PLTENT: The size, in bytes, of a procedure linkage table entry. and set the r_addend field of the R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT relocation to the memory offset of the indirect branch instruction. The dynamic linker can use these tags to update the PLT section to direct branch. bfd/ * elf-linker-x86.h (elf_linker_x86_params): Add mark_plt. * elf64-x86-64.c (elf_x86_64_finish_dynamic_symbol): Set the r_addend of R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT to the indirect branch offset in PLT entry for -z mark-plt. * elfxx-x86.c (_bfd_x86_elf_size_dynamic_sections): Add DT_X86_64_PLT, DT_X86_64_PLTSZ and DT_X86_64_PLTENT for -z mark-plt.

+Mark PLT entries with dynamic tags, DT_X86_64_PLT, DT_X86_64_PLTSZ and
+DT_X86_64_PLTENT. Since this option stores a non-zero value in the
+r_addend field of R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT relocations, the resulting
+executables and shared libraries are incompatible with dynamic linkers,
+such as those in older versions of glibc without the change to ignore
+r_addend in R_X86_64_GLOB_DAT and R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT relocations, which
+don't ignore the r_addend field of R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT relocations.
+Supported for x86_64.
