The R_PPC64_REL24 is used in function calls when the caller requires a valid TOC pointer. If the callee shares the same TOC or does not clobber the TOC pointer then a direct call can be made. If the callee does not share the TOC a thunk must be added to save the TOC pointer for the caller. Up until PC Relative was introduced all local calls on medium and large code models were assumed to share a TOC. This is no longer the case because if the caller requires a TOC and the callee is PC Relative then the callee can clobber the TOC even if it is in the same DSO. This patch is to add support for a TOC caller calling a PC Relative callee that clobbers the TOC. Reviewed By: sfertile, MaskRay Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D82950 |
