Finally, the point of the previous patches in this series, support for
inline PLT calls, keyed off -fno-plt. This emits code using new
relocations that tie all insns in the sequence together, so that the
linker can edit the sequence back to a direct call should the call
target turn out to be local. An example of ELFv2 code to call puts is
as follows:
"addis 12,2,puts@plt@ha" and "ld 12,puts@plt@l(12)" are also supported
by the assembler. gcc instead uses the explicit R_PPC64_PLT16_HA and
R_PPC64_PLT16_LO_DS relocs because when the call is to __tls_get_addr
an extra reloc is emitted at every place where one is shown above, to
specify the __tls_get_addr arg. The linker expects the extra reloc to
come first. .reloc enforces that ordering.
The patch also changes code emitted for longcalls if the assembler
supports the new marker relocs, so that these too can be edited. One
side effect of longcalls using PLT16 relocs is that they can now be
resolved lazily by ld.so.
I don't support lazy inline PLT calls for ELFv1, because ELFv1 would
need barriers to reliably load both the function address and toc
pointer from the PLT. ELFv1 -fno-plt uses the longcall sequence
instead, which isn't edited by GNU ld.
