<para>Suggested uses of these special sections follow:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The .got section may hold the Global Offset Table (GOT). This
section is not normally present in a relocatable object file because it
is linker generated. The linker must ensure that .got is aligned to an
8-byte boundary. In an executable or shared library, it may contain
part or all of the TOC. For more information, see
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655240___RefHeading___Toc377640591" /> and
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655242_47739" />.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The .toc section may hold the initialized TOC. The .toc section
must be aligned to an 8-byte boundary. Address elements within .toc
must be aligned to 8-byte boundaries to support linker optimization of
the .toc section. In a relocatable object file, .toc may contain
addresses of objects and functions; in this respect it may be thought
of as a compiler-managed GOT. It may also contain other constants or
variables; in this respect it is like .sdata. In an executable or
shared library, it may contain part or the entirety of the TOC. For
more information, see
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655241_66700" />,
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655240___RefHeading___Toc377640591" />, and

</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The .plt section may hold the procedure linkage table. This
section is not normally present in a relocatable object file because it
is linker generated. Each entry within the .plt section is an 8-byte
address. The linker must ensure that .plt is aligned to an 8-byte
boundary. For more information, see

<para>Tools that support this ABI are not required to use these sections.
However, if a tool uses these sections, it must assign the types and
attributes specified in
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655241_64556" />. Tools are not required to use
the sections precisely as suggested. Relocation information and the code
that refers to it define the actual use of a section.</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="dbdoclet.50655241_66700">
<title>TOC</title>
<para>The TOC is part of the data segment of an executable program.</para>
<para>This section describes a common layout of the TOC in an executable
file or shared object. Particular tools are not required to follow the
layout specified here.</para>
<para>The TOC region commonly includes data items within the .got, .toc,
.sdata, and .sbss sections. In the medium code model, they can be addressed
with 32-bit signed offsets from the TOC pointer register. The TOC pointer
register typically points to the beginning of the .got section + 0x8000,
which permits a 2 GB TOC with the medium and large code models. The .got
section is typically created by the link editor based on @got relocations.
The .toc section is typically included from relocatable object files
referenced during the link phase.</para>
<para>The TOC may straddle the boundary between initialized and
uninitialized data in the data segment. The common order of sections in the
data segment, some of which may be empty, follows:</para>
<programlisting>.rodata
.data
.data1
.got
.toc
.sdata
.sbss
.plt
.bss1
.bss</programlisting>
<para>The medium code model is expected to provide a sufficiently large TOC
to provide all data addressing needs of a module with a single TOC.</para>
<para>Compilers may generate two-instruction medium code model references
(or, if selected, short displacement one-instruction references) for all
data items that are in the TOC for the object file being compiled. Such
references are relative to the TOC pointer register, r2. (The linker may
optimize two-instruction forms to one instruction forms, replacing a first
instruction of the two instruction form with a nop and rewriting the second
instruction. Consequently, the TOC pointer must be live during the first
and second instruction of a two-instruction reference.)</para>
<para revisionflag="deleted">&#160;</para>
<section>
<title revisionflag="changed">Modules Containing Multiple TOCs</title>
<para>The link editor may create multiple TOCs. In such a case, the
constituent .got, .toc, .sdata, and .sbss sections are conceptually
repeated as necessary, with each TOC typically using a TOC pointer value
of its base plus 0x8000. Any constituent section of type SHT_NOBITS in
any TOC but the last is converted to type SHT_PROGBITS filled with
zeros.</para>
<para>When multiple TOCs are present, linking must take care to save,
initialize, and restore TOC pointers within a single module when calling
from one function to a second function using a different TOC pointer
value. Many of the same issues associated with a cross-module call apply
also to calls within a module but using different TOC pointers.</para>

<title>Symbol Table</title>
<section xml:id="dbdoclet.50655241_95185">
<title>Symbol Values</title>
<para>An executable file that contains a symbol reference that is to be
resolved dynamically by an associated shared object will have a symbol
table entry for that symbol. This entry will identify the symbol as
undefined by setting the st_shndx member to SHN_UNDEF.</para>
<para>The OpenPOWER ABI uses the three most-significant bits in the
symbol st_other field to specify the number of <phrase
revisionflag="deleted">instructions</phrase><phrase
revisionflag="added">bytes</phrase> between a
function's global entry point and local entry point. The global entry
point is used when it is necessary to set up the TOC pointer (r2) for the
function. The local entry point is used when r2 is known to already be
valid for the function. A value of zero in these bits asserts that the
function does not use r2.</para>
<para>The values of these three most significant bits of the st_other
field have the following meanings:</para>
<informaltable frame="none" colsep="0" rowsep="0">

</entry>
<entry>
<para>The local and global entry points are the same, and the
function has a single entry point with no requirement on r12 or
r2. On return, r2 will contain the same value as at
entry.</para>
<para>This value should be used for functions that do not
require the use of a TOC register to access external data. In
particular, functions that do not access data through the TOC
pointer can use a common entry point for the local and global
entry points.</para>
<note>
<para>If the function is not a leaf function, it must
call subroutines using the R_PPC64_REL24_NOTOC relocation
to indicate that the TOC register is not initialized. In
turn, this may lead to more expensive procedure linkage
table (PLT) stub code than would be necessary if a TOC
register were initialized.</para>

<para>The local-entry-point handling field of st_other is generated with
the .localentry pseudo op. The following is an example using the medium
code model:</para>
<programlisting> .globl my_func
.type my_func, @function
my_func:
addis r2, r12, (.TOC.-my_func)@ha
addi r2, r2, (.TOC.-my_func)@l
.localentry my_func, .-my_func
... ; function definition
blr</programlisting>
<para>Functions called via symbols with an st_other value of 0 may be
called without a valid TOC pointer in r2. Symbols of functions that
require a local entry with a valid TOC pointer should generate a symbol
with an st_other field value of 2&#8211;6 and both local and global entry
points, even if the global entry point will not be used. (In such a case,
the instructions of the global entry setup sequence may optionally be
initialized with TRAP instructions.)</para>
<para revisionflag="added">A function with an st_other value of 1 is
identified by a .localentry directive with a value of 1.</para>
<para>For very large programs, a 32-bit offset from
the TOC base may not suffice to reach all function addresses. In this
case, the large program model must be used, and the above sequence is
replaced by:</para>
<programlisting> .globl my_func
.type my_func, @function
.quad .TOC.-my_func
my_func:
.reloc ., R_PPC64_ENTRY ; optional
ld r2,-8(r12)
add r2,r2,r12
.localentry my_func, .-my_func
... ; function definition
blr</programlisting>
<para>The linker will resolve .TOC.-my_func to a
64-bit offset stored 8 bytes prior to the global entry point. The
prologue code then forms the absolute address of the TOC base.</para>
<para>Optionally, the linker may optimize the
prologue sequence for functions that are within 2GB of the TOC base.
To faciliate this, the compiler may associate an R_PPC64_ENTRY
relocation with the global entry point. Note that this relocation
simply provides a hint, and imposes no obligations on the linker to
optimize the prologue sequence. Nor does the absence of this relocation
forbid the linker from optimizing the prologue sequence.</para>

<title>Use of the Small Data Area</title>
<para>For a data item in the .sdata or .sbss sections, a compiler may
generate short-form one-instruction references. In an executable file or
shared library, such a reference is relative to the address of the TOC
base symbol (which can be obtained from r2 if a TOC pointer is
initialized). A compiler that generates code using the small data area
should provide an option to select the maximum size of objects placed in
the small data area, and a means of disabling any use of the small data
area. When generating code for ELF shared libraries, the small data area
should not be used for default-visibility global objects. This is to
satisfy ELF shared-library symbol interposition rules. That is, an
ordinary global symbol in a shared library may be overridden by a symbol
of the same name defined in the executable or another shared library.
Supporting interposition when using TOC-pointer relative addressing would
require text relocations.</para>

<section xml:id="dbdoclet.50655241_18894">
<title>Relocation Types</title>
<para>The relocation entries in a relocatable file are used by the link
editor to transform the contents of that file into an executable file or a
shared object file. The application and result of a relocation are similar
for both. Several relocatable files may be combined into one output file.
The link editor merges the content of the files, sets the value of all
function symbols, and performs relocations.</para>
<para>The 64-bit OpenPOWER Architecture uses Elf64_Rela relocation entries
exclusively. A relocation entry may operate upon a halfword, word, or
doubleword. The r_offset member of the relocation entry designates the
first byte of the address affected by the relocation. The subfield of
r_offset affected by a relocation is implicit in the definition of the
applied relocation type. The r_addend member of the relocation entry serves
as the relocation addend, which is described in
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655241_45722" /> for each relocation type.</para>
<para>A relocation type defines a set of instructions and calculations
necessary to alter the subfield data of a particular relocation
field.</para>
<section xml:id="dbdoclet.50655241_45722">
<title>Relocation Fields</title>
<para>The following relocation fields identify a subfield of an address

<para>In the following figure, half16ds is similar to half16, but is
really just 14 bits because the two least-significant bits must be zero
and are not really part of the field. (Used by, for example, the ldu
instruction.) In addition to the use of this relocation field with the DS
forms, half16ds relocations are also used in conjunction with DQ forms.
In those instances, the linker and assembler collaborate to create valid
DQ forms. They raise an error if the specified offset does not meet the
constraints of a valid DQ instruction form displacement.</para>

<title>Relocation Descriptions</title>
<para>The following list describes relocations that can require special
handling or description.</para>
<para>R_PPC64_GOT16*</para>
<para>These relocation types are similar to the corresponding
R_PPC64_ADDR16* types. However, they refer to the address of the symbols
GOT entry and instruct the link editor to build a GOT.</para>
<para>R_PPC64_PLTGOT16*</para>
<para>These relocation types are similar to the corresponding
R_PPC64_GOT16* types. However, if the link editor
<emphasis>cannot</emphasis> determine the actual value of the symbol, the
GOT entry may contain the address of an entry in the procedure linkage
table. The link editor creates that entry in the procedure linkage table
and stores that address in the GOT entry. This permits lazy resolution of
function symbols at run time. If the link editor
<emphasis>can</emphasis> determine the value of the symbol, it stores that
value in the corresponding GOT entry. The link editor may generate an
R_PPC64_GLOB_DAT relocation as usual.</para>
<para>R_PPC64_PLTREL32, R_PPC64_PLTREL64</para>
<para>These relocations indicate that reference to a symbol should be
resolved through a call to the symbols procedure linkage table entry.
Additionally, it instructs the link editor to build a procedure linkage
table for the executable or shared object if one is not created.</para>
<para><anchor xml:id="dbdoclet.50655241_R_PPC_COPY" xreflabel="" />R_PPC64_COPY</para>
<para>This relocation type is created by the link editor for dynamic
linking. Its offset member refers to a location in a writable segment.
The symbol table index specifies a symbol that should exist both in the
current relocatable file and in a shared object file. During execution,
the dynamic linker copies data associated with the shared objects symbol
to the location specified by the offset.</para>
<para>R_PPC64_GLOB_DAT</para>
<para>This relocation type allows determination of the correspondence
between symbols and GOT entries. It is similar to R_PPC64_ADDR64.
However, it sets a GOT entry to the address of the specified
symbol.</para>
<para>R_PPC64_JMP_SLOT</para>
<para>This relocation type is created by the link editor for dynamic
linking. Its offset member gives the location of a procedure linkage
table (PLT) entry. The dynamic linker modifies the PLT entry to transfer
control to the designated symbols address (see
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655242_20388" />).</para>
<para>R_PPC64_RELATIVE</para>
<para>This relocation type is created by the link editor for dynamic
linking. Its offset member gives a location within a shared object that
contains a value representing a relative address. The corresponding
virtual address is computed by the dynamic linker. It adds the virtual
address at which the shared object was loaded to the relative address.
Relocation entries for this type must specify 0 for the symbol table
index.</para>
<para>R_PPC64_IRELATIVE</para>
<para>The link editor creates this relocation type for dynamic linking.
Its addend member specifies the global entry-point location of a resolver
function returning a function pointer. It is used to implement the
STT_GNU_IFUNC framework. The resolver is called, and the returned pointer
copied into the location specified by the relocation offset
member.</para>
<para>R_PPC64_TLS, R_PPC64_TLSGD, R_PPC64_TLSLD</para>
<para>Used as markers on thread local storage (TLS) code sequences, these
relocations tie the entire sequence with a particular TLS symbol. For
more information, see
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655241_90241" />.</para>
<para>R_PPC64_TOCSAVE</para>
<para>This relocation type indicates a position where a TOC save may be
inserted in the function to avoid a TOC save as part of the PLT stub
code. A nop can be emitted by a compiler in a function's prologue code. A
link editor can change it to a TOC pointer save instruction. This marker
relocation is placed on the prologue nop and on nops after bl
instructions, with the symbol plus addend pointing to the prologue nop.
If the link editor uses the prologue to save r2, it may omit r2 saves in
the PLT call stub code emitted for calls marked by
R_PPC64_TOCSAVE.</para>
<para>R_PPC64_UADDR*</para>
<para>These relocation types are the same as the corresponding
R_PPC64_ADDR* types, except that the datum to be relocated is allowed to
be unaligned.</para>
<para>R_PPC64_ADDR64_LOCAL</para>
<para>When a separate local entry point exists, this relocation type is
used to initialize a memory location with the address of that local entry
point.</para>
<para>R_PPC64_REL24_NOTOC</para>
<para>This relocation type is used to specify a function call where the
TOC pointer is not initialized. It is similar to R_PPC64_REL24 in that it
specifies a symbol to be resolved. <phrase revisionflag="added">If the
symbol resolves to a function that requires a TOC pointer (as
determined by st_other bits) then a link editor must arrange for the
call to be via the global entry point of the called function.
Any</phrase>
<phrase revisionflag="deleted">However, if the symbol is resolved by

not rely on <phrase revisionflag="deleted">the presence of</phrase>
a valid TOC base address in <phrase revisionflag="deleted">TOC
register</phrase> r2<phrase revisionflag="deleted"> to reference
the PLT function table</phrase>.</para>
<para>R_PPC64_ENTRY</para>
<para>This relocation type may optionally be
associated with a global entry point. See
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655241_95185" /> for discussion of its
use.</para>
<para revisionflag="added">R_PPC64_PLTSEQ, R_PPC64_PLTCALL</para>
<para revisionflag="added">
These relocations mark the instruction as being part of an inline
PLT call sequence in a function where r2 is a valid TOC pointer.
R_PPC64_PLTCALL is used to mark the call instruction, while
R_PPC64_PLTSEQ is used on other instructions in the sequence that
don't have PLT relocations. All instructions in a given sequence
shall have relocations with the same symbol and addend. Note that
R_PPC64_PLTCALL also implicitly marks the nop or TOC-restoring
instruction immediately following the call instruction.
</para>
<para revisionflag="added">R_PPC64_PLTSEQ_NOTOC,
R_PPC64_PLTCALL_NOTOC</para>
<para revisionflag="added">
These relocations are like the corresponding R_PPC64_PLTSEQ and
R_PPC64_PLTCALL relocations, but are used in functions where r2 is

_NOTOC variant relocations.
</para>
<para revisionflag="added">R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT</para>
<para revisionflag="added">
This relocation type requests that the annotated
instruction and its immediately following instruction be optimized by
the linker when the referenced symbol can be statically resolved,

<title>Assembler Syntax</title>
<para>The offset from .TOC. in the GOT where the value of the symbol is
stored is given by the assembly syntax symbol@got. The value of the
symbol alone is the address of the variable named symbol.</para>
<para>For example:</para>
<programlisting>addis r3, r2,x@got@ha
ld r3,x@got@l(r3)</programlisting>
<para>Although the Power ISA only defines 16-bit displacements, many TOCs
(and hence a GOT) are larger then 64 KB but fit within 2 GB, which can be
addressed with 32-bit offsets from r2. Therefore, this ABI defines a
simple syntax for 32-bit offsets to the GOT.</para>
<para>The syntaxes SYMBOL@got@ha, SYMBOL@got@h, and SYMBOL@got@l refer to
the high adjusted, high, and low parts of the GOT offset. (For an
explanation of the meaning of “high adjusted,” see
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655241_18894" />). SYMBOL@got@ha corresponds to
bits 32&#8211;63 of the offset within the global offset table with adjustment
for the sign extension of the low-order offset bits. SYMBOL@got@l
corresponds to the 16 low-order bits of the offset within the global
offset table.</para>
<para>The syntax SYMBOL@toc refers to the value (SYMBOL &#8211; .TOC.), where
.TOC. represents the TOC base for the current object file. This provides
the address of the variable whose name is SYMBOL as an offset from the
TOC base.</para>
<para>As with the GOT, the syntaxes SYMBOL@toc@ha, SYMBOL@toc@h, and
SYMBOL@toc@l refer to the high adjusted, high, and low parts of the TOC
offset.</para>
<para>The syntax SYMBOL@got@plt may be used to refer to the offset in the
TOC of a procedure linkage table entry stored in the global offset table.
The corresponding syntaxes SYMBOL@got@plt@ha, SYMBOL@got@plt@h, and
SYMBOL@got@plt@l are also defined.</para>
<para> </para>
<note>
<para>
If X is a variable stored in the TOC,
then X@got is the offset within the TOC of a doubleword whose
value is X@toc.</para>
</note>
<para>The special symbol .TOC. is used to represent the TOC base for the
current object file.</para>
<para>The following code might appear in a PIC code setup sequence to
compute the distance from a function entry point to the TOC base:</para>
<programlisting>addis 2,12,.TOC.-func@ha
addi 2,2,.TOC.-func@l</programlisting>
<para>The syntax
<literal>SYMBOL@localentry</literal> refers to the value of the local
entry point associated with a function symbol. It can be used to
initialize a memory word with the address of the local entry point as
follows:</para>
<programlisting>.quad func@localentry</programlisting>

<programlisting>NOP
lwz rt, offset(r2)</programlisting>

<section xml:id="dbdoclet.50655241_19147">
<title>TOC Pointer Usage</title>
<para>To enable linker-based optimizations when global data is accessed,
the TOC pointer needs to be available for dereference at the point of all
uses of values derived from the TOC pointer in conjunction with the @l
operator. This property is used by the linker to optimize TOC pointer
accesses. In addition, all reaching definitions for a TOC-pointer-derived
access must compute the same definition.</para>
<para>In some implementations, non-ABI-compliant code may be processed by
providing additional linker options; for example, linker options
disabling linker optimization. However, this behavior in support of
non-ABI-compliant code is not guaranteed to be portable and supported in
all systems.</para>

<title>Table Jump Sequences</title>
<para>Some linkers may rewrite jump table sequences, as described in
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655240_47036" />. For example, linkers may
rewrite address references created using GOT-indirect loads and bl+4
sequences to use TOC-relative address computation.</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="dbdoclet.50655241_OptPCRel" revisionflag="added">
<title>Displacement Optimization for PC-Relative Accesses</title>
<para>
Compilers and assembly programmers must assume that references to
extern data having unrestricted visibility may be satisfied by a
dynamically linked object, and must therefore use PC-relative
GOT-indirect addressing for such references. A linker may
determine that such a reference is satisfied during static linking
and replace the reference with direct PC-relative addressing.
For example:
</para>
<programlisting>pld r12, symbol@got@pcrel
lvx v1, 0, r12</programlisting>
<para>The previous sequence may be replaced by:</para>
<programlisting>plxv v1, symbol@pcrel
nop</programlisting>
<para>
However, this optimization is not universally safe, since it
changes the value of r12 following the data reference. The
compiler or programmer must ensure that the value of r12 is not
subsequently used, and communicate a request for this optimization
by placing an R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT relocation on the first instruction
in the sequence. The compiler or programmer must further ensure that
the two instructions are not separated by intervening instructions.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="dbdoclet.50655241_OptMask" revisionflag="added">
<title>Optimization of Masked Load/Store Sequences</title>
<para>
PC-relative forms of the pmlxv and pmstxv instructions have a
28-bit offset, which is too small to guarantee that the offset
will not overflow when relocated within a medium code model
binary. Compilers should not directly generate PC-relative forms
of these instructions, but may instead generate a short sequence
that can be optimized by a linker. For example:
</para>
<programlisting>paddi r12,symbol@pcrel
pmlxvx v1,r10,r12,VRM,MC,P,0</programlisting>
<para>The previous sequence may be replaced by:</para>
<programlisting>dnop
pmlxv v1,symbol@pcrel(r10),VRM,MC,P,1</programlisting>
<para>
when the linker determines that the offset from the current
instruction address to symbol's address will fit in 28 bits.
</para>
<para>
Again, this optimization is not universally safe, since it changes
the value of r12 following the data reference. The compiler or
programmer must ensure that the value of r12 is not subsequently
used, and communicate a request for this optimization by placing
an R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT relocation on the first instruction in the
sequence. The compiler or programmer must further ensure that the
two instructions are not separated by intervening instructions.
</para>
</section>
</section>
<section>
<title>Fusion</title>
<para>Code generation in compilers, linkers, and by programmers should
use a destructive sequence of two sequential instructions consisting of
first an addis followed by a second instruction using a D form
instruction to create or load from a 32-bit offset from a register to
enable hardware fusion whenever possible:</para>
<programlisting>addis r4, r3, upper
&lt;lbz,lhz,lwz,ld&gt; r4, lower(r4)
addis r4, r3, upper
addi r4, r4, lower</programlisting>
<para>It is encouraged that assemblers provide pseudo-ops to facilitate
such code generation with a single assembler mnemonic.</para>

authoritative TLS ABI specification that defines the context in which
information in the TLS section of this Power Architecture 64-bit ELF V2 ABI
must be viewed. For information about how to access this document, see
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655239___RefHeading___Toc377640569" />. To
maintain congruence with that document, in this section the term module
refers to an executable or shared object since both are treated
similarly.</para>
<section>
<title>TLS Background</title>
<para>Most C/C++ implementations support (as an extension to earlier
versions of the language) the keyword __thread to be used as a
storage-class specifier in variable declarations and definitions of data
objects with thread storage duration. (The 2011 ISO C Standard uses
_Thread_local as the keyword, while the 2011 ISO C++ Standard uses
thread_local.) A variable declared in this manner is automatically
allocated local to each thread. Its lifetime is defined to be the entire
execution of the thread. Any initialization value is assigned once before
thread startup.</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="dbdoclet.50655241_50444">
<title>TLS Runtime Handling</title>
<para>A thread-local variable is completely identified by the module in
which it is defined, along with the offset of the variable relative to
the start of the TLS block for the module. A module is referenced by its
index (an integer starting with 1, which is assigned by the run-time
environment) into the dynamic thread vector (DTV). The offset of the
variable is kept in the st_value field of the TLS variables symbol table
entry.</para>
<para>The TLS data structures follow variant I of the ELF TLS ABI. For
the 64-bit PowerPC Architecture, the specific organization of the data
structures is as follows.</para>
<para>The thread control block (TCB) consists of the DTV, which is an
8-byte pointer. An extended TCB may have additional
implementation-specific fields; these fields are located
<emphasis>before</emphasis> the DTV pointer because the addresses are
computed as negative offsets from the TCB address. The fields must never
be rearranged for any reason.</para>
<para>The current glibc extended TCB is:</para>
<programlisting>typedef struct {
/* Reservation for HWCAP data. */
unsigned int hwcap2;
unsigned int hwcap; /* not used in LE ABI */
/* Indicate if HTM capable (ISA 2.07). */
int tm_capable;
int tm_pad;
/* Reservation for dynamic system optimizer ABI. */
uintptr_t dso_slot2;
uintptr_t dso_slot1;
/* Reservation for tar register (ISA 2.07). */
uintptr_t tar_save;
/* GCC split stack support. */
void *__private_ss;
/* Reservation for the event-based branching ABI. */
uintptr_t ebb_handler;
uintptr_t ebb_ctx_pointer;
uintptr_t ebb_reserved1;
uintptr_t ebb_reserved2;
uintptr_t pointer_guard;
/* Reservation for stack guard */
uintptr_t stack_guard;
/* DTV pointer */
dtv_t *dtv;
} tcbhead_t;</programlisting>
<para>Modules that will not be unloaded will be present at startup time;
the TLS blocks for these are created consecutively and immediately follow
the TCB. The offset of the TLS block of an initially available module
from the TCB remains fixed after program start.</para>
<para>The tlsoffset(m) values for a module with index m, where m ranges
from 1&#8211;M, M being the total number of modules, are computed as follows:</para>
<programlisting>tlsoffset(1) = round(16, align(1))
tlsoffset(m + 1) = round(tlsoffset(m) + tlssize(m), align(m + 1))</programlisting>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The function round( ) returns its first argument rounded up to
the next multiple of its second argument:</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<programlisting>round(x, y) = y × ceiling(x / y)</programlisting>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The function ceiling( ) returns the smallest integer greater
than or equal to its argument, where n is an integer satisfying:
n &#8211; 1 &lt; x ≤ n:</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<programlisting>ceiling(x) = n</programlisting>
<para>In the case of dynamic shared objects (DSO), TLS blocks are
allocated on an as-needed basis, with the details of allocation
abstracted away by the __tls_get_addr( ) function, which is used to
retrieve the address of any TLS variable.</para>
<para>The prototype for the __tls_get_addr( ) function, is defined as
follows.</para>
<programlisting>typedef struct
{
unsigned long int ti_module;
unsigned long int ti_offset;
} tls_index;
extern void *__tls_get_addr (tls_index *ti);</programlisting>
<para>The thread pointer (TP) is held in r13 and is used to access the
TCB. The TP is initialized to point 0x7000 bytes past the end of the TCB.
The TP offset allows for efficient addressing of the TCB and up to 4 KB
&#8211;
8 B of other thread library information (placed before the TCB).</para>
<para>
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655241_11666" /> shows the region of memory
before and after the TCB that can be efficiently addressed by the
TP.</para>

<para>Each DTV pointer points 0x8000 bytes past the start of each TLS
block. (For implementation reasons, the actual value stored in the DTV
may point to the start of a TLS block. However, values returned by
accessor functions will be offset by 0x8000 bytes.) This offset allows
the first 64 KB of each block to be addressed from a DTV pointer using
fewer machine instructions.</para>

create a data object of type tls_index in the GOT. The address of this
data object is loaded into the first argument register with the addis and

<title>ELF TLS Definitions</title>
<para>The result of performing a relocation for a TLS symbol is the
module ID and its offset within the TLS block. These are then stored in
the GOT. Later, they are obtained by the dynamic linker at run-time and
passed to __tls_get_addr( ), which returns the address for the variable
for the current thread.</para>
<para>For more information, see
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655241_18894" />. For TLS relocations, see

<para>The following marker relocations tie together instructions in TLS

<title>Back Chain</title>
<para>Systems must provide a back chain by default, and they must include
compilers allocating a back chain and system libraries allocating a back
chain. Alternate libraries may be supplied in addition to, and beyond,
but never instead of those providing a back chain. Code generating and
using a back chain shall be the default for compilers, linkers, and
library selection.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Nested Functions</title>
<para>Nested functions that access their ancestors stack frames are
entered with r11 initialized to an environment pointer. The environment
pointer is typically a copy of the stack pointer for the most recent
instance of the nested function's parent's stack frame. When a function
pointer to a nested function referencing its outer context is created, an
implementation may create a trampoline to load the present environment
pointer to r11, followed by an unconditional branch to the function code
of the nested function contained in the text segment.</para>
<para>When a trampoline is used, a pointer to a nested function is
represented by the code address of the trampoline.</para>
<para>In some environments, the trampoline code may be created by
allocating memory on the data stack, making at least pages containing
trampolines executable. In other environments, executable pages may be
prohibited in the stack area for security reasons.</para>
<para>Alternate implementations, such as creating code stacks for
allocating nested function trampolines, may be used. In garbage-collected
environments, yet other ways for managing trampolines are
available.</para>

<title>Traceback Tables</title>
<para>To support debuggers and exception handlers, the 64-bit
<citetitle>OpenPOWER ELF V2 ABI</citetitle> defines the use of descriptive
debug and unwind information that enables flexible debugging and
unwinding of optimized code (such as, for example, DWARF).</para>
<para>To support legacy tooling, the
<citetitle>OpenPOWER ELF V2 ABI</citetitle> also specifies the use of a
traceback table that may provide additional information about
functions.</para>
<para>
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50655241_18645" /> describes a minimal set of
fields that may, optionally, specify information about a function.
Additional fields may be present in a traceback table in accordance with
commonly used PowerPC traceback conventions in other environments, but
they are not specified in the current ABI definition.</para>
