The GOT holds the address in the PLT to be executed.
The loader then gets:
24(15) = Pointer to the structure describing the object.
- 28(15) = Offset in symbol table
+ 28(15) = Offset into rela.plt
The loader must then find the module where the function is
and insert the address in the GOT.
BRC 15,-x # 4 bytes Jump to start of PLT
.word 0 # 2 bytes filler
.long ? # 4 bytes offset in GOT
- .long ? # 4 bytes offset into symbol table
+ .long ? # 4 bytes offset into rela.plt
This was the general case. There are two additional, optimizes PLT
definitions. One for GOT offsets < 4096 and one for GOT offsets < 32768.
BCR 15,1 # 2 bytes Jump to address
.word 0,0,0 # 6 bytes filler
RET1: BASR 1,0 # 2 bytes Return from GOT 1st time
- L 1,14(1) # 4 bytes Load offset in symbol table in r1
+ L 1,14(1) # 4 bytes Load offset in rela.plt in r1
BRC 15,-x # 4 bytes Jump to start of PLT
.word 0,0,0 # 6 bytes filler
- .long ? # 4 bytes offset into symbol table
+ .long ? # 4 bytes offset into rela.plt
Second the one for GOT offsets < 32768:
BCR 15,1 # 2 bytes Jump to address
.word 0 # 2 bytes filler
RET1: BASR 1,0 # 2 bytes Return from GOT 1st time
- L 1,14(1) # 4 bytes Load offset in symbol table in r1
+ L 1,14(1) # 4 bytes Load offset in rela.plt in r1
BRC 15,-x # 4 bytes Jump to start of PLT
.word 0,0,0 # 6 bytes filler
- .long ? # 4 bytes offset into symbol table
+ .long ? # 4 bytes offset into rela.plt
Total = 32 bytes per PLT entry
BRC 15,-x # 4 bytes Jump to start of PLT
.word 0 # 2 bytes filler
.long ? # 4 bytes address of GOT entry
- .long ? # 4 bytes offset into symbol table */
