Bug ID: 18878
Summary: _savegpr1_XXX crashes when called through a stub on
POWERPC64LE
Product: binutils
Version: 2.24
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld

test case for bug
I have found problem in which a big powerpc64le binary crashes when compiled
with -Os. I chased down the root cause to be calling runtime functions
_savegpr1_XXX via branch stubs. These functions do not follow the normal ABI
and take the value of r12 as the argument. Unfortunately, branch stubs and
PLTs also use r12 as a scratch register during address calculation. So the
stubs clobber the argument to _savegpr1_XXX and cause SEGV faults.
Attached is a test case. I tried it on a POWER8 machine running ubuntu. The
test crashes if compiled with -Os using both ld and gold.
Using built-in specs.
