* PPC64_OPT_LOCALENTRYAlan Modra2017-06-011-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ELFv2 functions with localentry:0 are those with a single entry point, ie. global entry == local entry, and that have no requirement on r2 or r12, and guarantee r2 is unchanged on return. Such an external function can be called via the PLT without saving r2 or restoring it on return, avoiding a common load-hit-store for small functions. The optimization is attractive. The TOC pointer load-hit-store is a major reason why calls to small functions that need no register saves, or with shrink-wrap, no register saves on a fast path, are slow on powerpc64le. To be safe, this optimization needs ld.so support to check that the run-time matches link-time function implementation. If a function in a shared library with st_other localentry non-zero is called without saving and restoring r2, r2 will be trashed on return, leading to segfaults. For that reason the optimization does not happen for weak functions since a weak definition is a fairly solid hint that the function will likely be overridden. I'm also not enabling the optimization by default unless glibc-2.26 is detected, which should have the ld.so checks implemented. bfd/ * elf64-ppc.c (struct ppc_link_hash_table): Add has_plt_localentry0.

* ld --gc-sections fail with __tls_get_addr_optAlan Modra2016-05-111-0/+54
