No SHN_UNDEF symbols should ever have STT_GNU_IFUNC type, they should be
STT_FUNC instead. Whether a symbol in the shared library some other shared
library or binary is linked dynamically against is STT_GNU_IFUNC or not doesn't
say anything about whether it will be actually indirect or direct function call
at runtime. IFUNC is always only a property of a symbol definition.
Especially for PLT SHN_UNDEF symbols with non-zero st_value this is fatal
problem, see e.g.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512078
Testcase:
BINUTILS_OBJ=/usr/src/binutils/obj
BINUTILS_SRC=/usr/src/binutils
gcc -B$BINUTILS_OBJ/ld/tmpdir/gas/ -I$BINUTILS_SRC/ld/testsuite/ld-ifunc -g
-O2 \
-c -fPIC -DWITH_IFUNC -c $BINUTILS_SRC/ld/testsuite/ld-ifunc/lib.c \
-o shared_ifunc.o
$BINUTILS_OBJ/ld/ld-new -o libshared_ifunc.so -shared shared_ifunc.o
echo 'extern int library_func2 (void);' > test.c
echo 'int main (void) { library_func2 (); return 0; }' >> test.c
gcc -B $BINUTILS_OBJ/ld/tmpdir/ld/ -o test test.c ./libshared_ifunc.so
$BINUTILS_OBJ/binutils/readelf -Ws test | grep IFUNC.*UND
echo 'extern int library_func2 (void);' > test2.c
echo 'int (*fn) (void) = library_func2;' >> test2.c
echo 'int main (void) { fn (); return 0; }' >> test2.c
gcc -B $BINUTILS_OBJ/ld/tmpdir/ld/ -o test2 test2.c ./libshared_ifunc.so
$BINUTILS_OBJ/binutils/readelf -Ws test2 | grep IFUNC.*UND
Should print nothing, prints:
1: 0000000000000000 0 IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT UND library_func2
49: 0000000000000000 0 IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT UND library_func2
5: 0000000000400458 0 IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT UND library_func2
49: 0000000000400458 0 IFUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT UND library_func2
with CVS trunk.
