<p><a name="index-PowerPC-long-branches-702"></a><a name="index-g_t_002d_002drelax-on-PowerPC-703"></a>Branches on PowerPC processors are limited to a signed 26-bit
|
||
|
|
displacement, which may result in <samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> giving
|
||
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">relocation truncated to fit</span></samp>’ errors with very large programs.
|
||
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">--relax</span></samp>’ enables the generation of trampolines that can access
|
||
|
|
the entire 32-bit address space. These trampolines are inserted at
|
||
|
|
section boundaries, so may not themselves be reachable if an input
|
||
|
|
section exceeds 33M in size. You may combine ‘<samp><span class="samp">-r</span></samp>’ and
|
||
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">--relax</span></samp>’ to add trampolines in a partial link. In that case
|
||
|
|
both branches to undefined symbols and inter-section branches are also
|
||
|
|
considered potentially out of range, and trampolines inserted.

<dl><dt><samp><span class="option">--bss-plt</span></samp><dd>Current PowerPC GCC accepts a ‘<samp><span class="samp">-msecure-plt</span></samp>’ option that
|
||
|
|
generates code capable of using a newer PLT and GOT layout that has
|
||
|
|
the security advantage of no executable section ever needing to be
|
||
|
|
writable and no writable section ever being executable. PowerPC
|
||
|
|
<samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> will generate this layout, including stubs to access the
|
||
|
|
PLT, if all input files (including startup and static libraries) were
|
||
|
|
compiled with ‘<samp><span class="samp">-msecure-plt</span></samp>’. ‘<samp><span class="samp">--bss-plt</span></samp>’ forces the old
|
||
|
|
BSS PLT (and GOT layout) which can give slightly better performance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><a name="index-g_t_002d_002dsecure_002dplt-707"></a><br><dt><samp><span class="option">--secure-plt</span></samp><dd><samp><span class="command">ld</span></samp> will use the new PLT and GOT layout if it is linking new
|
||
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">-fpic</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">-fPIC</span></samp>’ code, but does not do so automatically
|
||
|
|
when linking non-PIC code. This option requests the new PLT and GOT
|
||
|
|
layout. A warning will be given if some object file requires the old
|
||
|
|
style BSS PLT.

<p><a name="index-PowerPC-GOT-708"></a><a name="index-g_t_002d_002dsdata_002dgot-709"></a><br><dt><samp><span class="option">--sdata-got</span></samp><dd>The new secure PLT and GOT are placed differently relative to other
|
||
|
|
sections compared to older BSS PLT and GOT placement. The location of
|
||
|
|
<code>.plt</code> must change because the new secure PLT is an initialized
|
||
|
|
section while the old PLT is uninitialized. The reason for the
|
||
|
|
<code>.got</code> change is more subtle: The new placement allows
|
||
|
|
<code>.got</code> to be read-only in applications linked with
|
||
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">-z relro -z now</span></samp>’. However, this placement means that
|
||
|
|
<code>.sdata</code> cannot always be used in shared libraries, because the
|
||
|
|
PowerPC ABI accesses <code>.sdata</code> in shared libraries from the GOT
|
||
|
|
pointer. ‘<samp><span class="samp">--sdata-got</span></samp>’ forces the old GOT placement. PowerPC
|
||
|
|
GCC doesn't use <code>.sdata</code> in shared libraries, so this option is
|
||
|
|
really only useful for other compilers that may do so.
