PR32387 ppc64 TLS optimization bug with -fno-plt code
Checks
Commit Message
The inline plt code emitted by gcc is incompatible with the
linker/ld.so --tls-get-addr-optimize scheme. This is the runtime
optimisation where the first call to __tls_get_addr results in
__tls_get_addr updating the tls_index pair, then the special linker
stub using that to short-circuit second and subsequent calls for a
given tls symbol. Enabled by default when the linker sees
__tls_get_addr_opt is preseent, and enabled in ld.so when DT_PPC64_OPT
has PPC64_OPT_TLS set. Note that this is distinct from link-time tls
optimisation.

* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_check_relocs): Disable tls_get_addr_opt
on detecting inline plt calls to __tls_get_addr.

Thanks for the fix Alan!
Is this something we want back ported to one or more of the release branches?
I can do the backports if you just let me know how far back you want the
fix to go.
