This patch better supports mixing of power10 and non-power10 code,
as might be seen in a cpu-optimized library using ifuncs to select
functions optimized for a given cpu. Using -Wl,--no-power10-stubs
isn't that good in this situation since non-power10 notoc stubs are
slower and larger than the power10 variants, which you'd like to use
on power10 code paths.
With this change, power10 pc-relative code that makes calls marked
@notoc uses power10 stubs if stubs are necessary, and other calls use
non-power10 instructions in stubs. This will mean that if gcc is
generating code for -mcpu=power10 but with pc-rel disabled then you'll
get the older stubs even on power10 (unless you force with
-Wl,--power10-stubs). That shouldn't be too big a problem: stubs that
use r2 are reasonable. It's just the ones that set up addressing
using "mflr 12; bcl 20,31,.+4; mflr 11; mtlr 12" that should be
avoided if possible.
bfd/
* elf64-ppc.c (struct ppc_link_hash_table): Add has_power10_relocs.
(select_alt_stub): New function.
(ppc_get_stub_entry): Use it here.
(ppc64_elf_check_relocs): Set had_power10_relocs rather than
power10_stubs.
(ppc64_elf_size_stubs): Clear power10_stubs here instead. Don't
merge notoc stubs with other varieties when power10_stubs is "auto".
Instead dup the stub hash table entry.
(plt_stub_size, ppc_build_one_stub, ppc_size_one_stub): Adjust
tests of power10_stubs.
