The PLT entry in executables and shared libraries contains an indirect
branch, like
jmp *foo@GOTPCREL(%rip)
push $index_foo
jmp .PLT0
or
endbr64
jmp *foo@GOTPCREL(%rip)
NOP padding
which is used to branch to the function, foo, defined in another object.
Each R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT relocation has a corresponding PLT entry.
The dynamic tags have been added to the x86-64 psABI to mark such PLT
entries:
6d824a52a4
Add an x86-64 linker option, -z mark-plt, to mark PLT entries with
#define DT_X86_64_PLT (DT_LOPROC + 0)
#define DT_X86_64_PLTSZ (DT_LOPROC + 1)
#define DT_X86_64_PLTENT (DT_LOPROC + 3)
1. DT_X86_64_PLT: The address of the procedure linkage table.
2. DT_X86_64_PLTSZ: The total size, in bytes, of the procedure linkage
table.
3. DT_X86_64_PLTENT: The size, in bytes, of a procedure linkage table
entry.
and set the r_addend field of the R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT relocation to the
memory offset of the indirect branch instruction. The dynamic linker
can use these tags to update the PLT section to direct branch.
