--- Comment #61 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The releases/gcc-14 branch has been updated by Uros Bizjak <u...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:1500a9c9cd7e2a264570d8380789981d77041cc2 commit r14-11647-g1500a9c9cd7e2a264570d8380789981d77041cc2 Author: Ard Biesheuvel <a...@kernel.org> Date: Thu Apr 10 14:26:40 2025 +0200 i386: Prefer PLT indirection for __fentry__ calls under -fPIC [PR119386] Commit bde21de1205 ("i386: Honour -mdirect-extern-access when calling __fentry__") updated the logic that emits mcount() / __fentry__() calls into function prologues when profiling is enabled, to avoid GOT-based indirect calls when a direct call would suffice. There are two problems with that change: - it relies on -mdirect-extern-access rather than -fno-plt to decide whether or not a direct [PLT based] call is appropriate; - for the PLT case, it falls through to x86_print_call_or_nop(), which does not emit the @PLT suffix, resulting in the wrong relocation to be used (R_X86_64_PC32 instead of R_X86_64_PLT32) Fix this by testing flag_plt instead of ix86_direct_extern_access, and updating x86_print_call_or_nop() to take flag_pic and flag_plt into account. This also ensures that -mnop-mcount works as expected when emitting the PLT based profiling calls. While at it, fix the 32-bit logic as well, and issue a PLT call unless PLTs are explicitly disabled. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119386 Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <a...@kernel.org> gcc/ChangeLog: PR target/119386 * config/i386/i386.cc (x86_print_call_or_nop): Add @PLT suffix where appropriate.
