Hi Florian,
Sure, something basic like this shows the issues:
int x;
int f(void) { return ++x; }
int main(void) { return f(); }
compile with -O2 -fPIC -flto -shared:
00000000000004f0 <f@plt>:
4f0: b0000090 adrp x16, 11000 <__cxa_finalize@GLIBC_2.17>
4f4: f9400611 ldr x17, [x16, #8]
4f8: 91002210 add x16, x16, #0x8
4fc: d61f0220 br x17
0000000000000510 <main>:
510: 17fffff8 b 4f0 <f@plt>
0000000000000600 <f>:
600: 90000081 adrp x1, 10000 <__FRAME_END__+0xf8f8>
604: f947e821 ldr x1, [x1, #4048]
608: b9400020 ldr w0, [x1]
60c: 11000400 add w0, w0, #0x1
610: b9000020 str w0, [x1]
614: d65f03c0 ret
So f() does not get inlined into main, it is redirected via PLT, and it uses a GOT
indirection to access the global. The underlying problem is that ELF assumes by
default that you want interposition/export for all symbols. In reality that is
almost never needed. LLVM makes -fno-semantic-interposition the default,
which solves the PLT and inlining issue, but not the unnecessary GOT indirections.
Cheers,
Wilco
