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.
