[PowerPC] ELFv2 MC support for .localentry directive A second binutils feature needed to support ELFv2 is the .localentry directive. In the ELFv2 ABI, functions may have two entry points: one for calling the routine locally via "bl", and one for calling the function via function pointer (either at the source level, or implicitly via a PLT stub for global calls). The two entry points share a single ELF symbol, where the ELF symbol address identifies the global entry point address, while the local entry point is found by adding a delta offset to the symbol address. That offset is encoded into three platform-specific bits of the ELF symbol st_other field. The .localentry directive instructs the assembler to set those fields to encode a particular offset. This is typically used by a function prologue sequence like this: func: addis r2, r12, (.TOC.-func)@ha addi r2, r2, (.TOC.-func)@l .localentry func, .-func Note that according to the ABI, when calling the global entry point, r12 must be set to point the global entry point address itself; while when calling the local entry point, r2 must be set to point to the TOC base. The two instructions between the global and local entry point in the above example translate the first requirement into the second. This patch implements support in the PowerPC MC streamers to emit the .localentry directive (both into assembler and ELF object output), as well as support in the assembler parser to parse that directive. In addition, there is another change required in MC fixup/relocation handling to properly deal with relocations targeting function symbols with two entry points: When the target function is known local, the MC layer would immediately handle the fixup by inserting the target address -- this is wrong, since the call may need to go to the local entry point instead. The GNU assembler handles this case by *not* directly resolving fixups targeting functions with two entry points, but always emits the relocation and relies on the linker to handle this case correctly. This patch changes LLVM MC to do the same (this is done via the processFixupValue routine). Similarly, there are cases where the assembler would normally emit a relocation, but "simplify" it to a relocation targeting a *section* instead of the actual symbol. For the same reason as above, this may be wrong when the target symbol has two entry points. The GNU assembler again handles this case by not performing this simplification in that case, but leaving the relocation targeting the full symbol, which is then resolved by the linker. This patch changes LLVM MC to do the same (via the needsRelocateWithSymbol routine). NOTE: The method used in this patch is overly pessimistic, since the needsRelocateWithSymbol routine currently does not have access to the actual target symbol, and thus must always assume that it might have two entry points. This will be improved upon by a follow-on patch that modifies common code to pass the target symbol when calling needsRelocateWithSymbol.
