[ELF][PPC64] Detect missing R_PPC64_TLSGD/R_PPC64_TLSLD and disable TLS relaxation
Alternative to D91611. The TLS General Dynamic/Local Dynamic code sequences need to mark `__tls_get_addr` with R_PPC64_TLSGD or R_PPC64_TLSLD, e.g. ``` addis r3, r2, x@got@tlsgd@ha # R_PPC64_GOT_TLSGD16_HA addi r3, r3, x@got@tlsgd@l # R_PPC64_GOT_TLSGD16_LO bl __tls_get_addr(x@tlsgd) # R_PPC64_TLSGD followed by R_PPC64_REL24 nop ``` However, there are two deviations form the above: 1. direct call to `__tls_get_addr`. This is essential to implement ld.so in glibc/musl/FreeBSD. ``` bl __tls_get_addr nop ``` This is only used in a -shared link, and thus not subject to the GD/LD to IE/LE relaxation issue below. 2. Missing R_PPC64_TLSGD/R_PPC64_TLSGD for compiler generated TLS references According to Stefan Pintille, "In the early days of the transition from the ELFv1 ABI that is used for big endian PowerPC Linux distributions to the ELFv2 ABI that is used for little endian PowerPC Linux distributions, there was some ambiguity in the specification of the relocations for TLS. The GNU linker has implemented support for correct handling of calls to __tls_get_addr with a missing relocation. Unfortunately, we didn't notice that the IBM XL compiler did not handle TLS according to the updated ABI until we tried linking XL compiled libraries with LLD." In short, LLD needs to work around the old IBM XL compiler issue. Otherwise, if the object file is linked in -no-pie or -pie mode, the result will be incorrect because the 4 instructions are partially rewritten (the latter 2 are not changed). Work around the compiler bug by disable General Dynamic/Local Dynamic to Initial Exec/Local Exec relaxation. Note, we also disable Initial Exec to Local Exec relaxation for implementation simplicity, though technically it can be kept. ppc64-tls-missing-gdld.s demonstrates the updated behavior.
