<h5 class="subsubsection">9.1.3.3 Relocations</h5>
<p><a name="index-Alpha-relocations-527"></a><a name="index-relocations_002c-Alpha-528"></a>
Some of these relocations are available for ECOFF, but mostly
only for ELF. They are modeled after the relocation format
introduced in Digital Unix 4.0, but there are additions.
<p>The format is <span class="samp">!</span><var>tag</var> or <span class="samp">!</span><var>tag</var><span class="samp">!</span><var>number</var>
where <var>tag</var> is the name of the relocation. In some cases
<var>number</var> is used to relate specific instructions.
<p>The relocation is placed at the end of the instruction like so:
<pre class="example"> ldah $0,a($29) !gprelhigh
lda $0,a($0) !gprellow
ldq $1,b($29) !literal!100
ldl $2,0($1) !lituse_base!100
</pre>
<dl>
<dt><code>!literal</code><dt><code>!literal!</code><var>N</var><dd>Used with an <code>ldq</code> instruction to load the address of a symbol
from the GOT.
<p>A sequence number <var>N</var> is optional, and if present is used to pair
<code>lituse</code> relocations with this <code>literal</code> relocation. The
<code>lituse</code> relocations are used by the linker to optimize the code
based on the final location of the symbol.
<p>Note that these optimizations are dependent on the data flow of the
program. Therefore, if <em>any</em> <code>lituse</code> is paired with a
<code>literal</code> relocation, then <em>all</em> uses of the register set by
the <code>literal</code> instruction must also be marked with <code>lituse</code>
relocations. This is because the original <code>literal</code> instruction
may be deleted or transformed into another instruction.
<p>Also note that there may be a one-to-many relationship between
<code>literal</code> and <code>lituse</code>, but not a many-to-one. That is, if
there are two code paths that load up the same address and feed the
value to a single use, then the use may not use a <code>lituse</code>
relocation.
<br><dt><code>!lituse_base!</code><var>N</var><dd>Used with any memory format instruction (e.g. <code>ldl</code>) to indicate
that the literal is used for an address load. The offset field of the
instruction must be zero. During relaxation, the code may be altered
to use a gp-relative load.
<br><dt><code>!lituse_jsr!</code><var>N</var><dd>Used with a register branch format instruction (e.g. <code>jsr</code>) to
indicate that the literal is used for a call. During relaxation, the
code may be altered to use a direct branch (e.g. <code>bsr</code>).
<br><dt><code>!lituse_jsrdirect!</code><var>N</var><dd>Similar to <code>lituse_jsr</code>, but also that this call cannot be vectored
through a PLT entry. This is useful for functions with special calling
conventions which do not allow the normal call-clobbered registers to be
clobbered.
<br><dt><code>!lituse_bytoff!</code><var>N</var><dd>Used with a byte mask instruction (e.g. <code>extbl</code>) to indicate
that only the low 3 bits of the address are relevant. During relaxation,
the code may be altered to use an immediate instead of a register shift.
<br><dt><code>!lituse_addr!</code><var>N</var><dd>Used with any other instruction to indicate that the original address
is in fact used, and the original <code>ldq</code> instruction may not be
altered or deleted. This is useful in conjunction with <code>lituse_jsr</code>
to test whether a weak symbol is defined.
<pre class="example"> ldq $27,foo($29) !literal!1
beq $27,is_undef !lituse_addr!1
jsr $26,($27),foo !lituse_jsr!1
</pre>
<br><dt><code>!lituse_tlsgd!</code><var>N</var><dd>Used with a register branch format instruction to indicate that the
literal is the call to <code>__tls_get_addr</code> used to compute the
address of the thread-local storage variable whose descriptor was
loaded with <code>!tlsgd!</code><var>N</var>.
<br><dt><code>!lituse_tlsldm!</code><var>N</var><dd>Used with a register branch format instruction to indicate that the
literal is the call to <code>__tls_get_addr</code> used to compute the
address of the base of the thread-local storage block for the current
module. The descriptor for the module must have been loaded with
<code>!tlsldm!</code><var>N</var>.
<br><dt><code>!gpdisp!</code><var>N</var><dd>Used with <code>ldah</code> and <code>lda</code> to load the GP from the current
address, a-la the <code>ldgp</code> macro. The source register for the
<code>ldah</code> instruction must contain the address of the <code>ldah</code>
instruction. There must be exactly one <code>lda</code> instruction paired
with the <code>ldah</code> instruction, though it may appear anywhere in
the instruction stream. The immediate operands must be zero.
<pre class="example"> bsr $26,foo
ldah $29,0($26) !gpdisp!1
lda $29,0($29) !gpdisp!1
</pre>
<br><dt><code>!gprelhigh</code><dd>Used with an <code>ldah</code> instruction to add the high 16 bits of a
32-bit displacement from the GP.
<br><dt><code>!gprellow</code><dd>Used with any memory format instruction to add the low 16 bits of a
32-bit displacement from the GP.
<br><dt><code>!gprel</code><dd>Used with any memory format instruction to add a 16-bit displacement
from the GP.
<br><dt><code>!samegp</code><dd>Used with any branch format instruction to skip the GP load at the
target address. The referenced symbol must have the same GP as the
source object file, and it must be declared to either not use <code>$27</code>
or perform a standard GP load in the first two instructions via the
<code>.prologue</code> directive.
<br><dt><code>!tlsgd</code><dt><code>!tlsgd!</code><var>N</var><dd>Used with an <code>lda</code> instruction to load the address of a TLS
descriptor for a symbol in the GOT.
<p>The sequence number <var>N</var> is optional, and if present it used to
pair the descriptor load with both the <code>literal</code> loading the
address of the <code>__tls_get_addr</code> function and the <code>lituse_tlsgd</code>
marking the call to that function.
<p>For proper relaxation, both the <code>tlsgd</code>, <code>literal</code> and
<code>lituse</code> relocations must be in the same extended basic block.
That is, the relocation with the lowest address must be executed
first at runtime.
<br><dt><code>!tlsldm</code><dt><code>!tlsldm!</code><var>N</var><dd>Used with an <code>lda</code> instruction to load the address of a TLS
descriptor for the current module in the GOT.
<p>Similar in other respects to <code>tlsgd</code>.
<br><dt><code>!gotdtprel</code><dd>Used with an <code>ldq</code> instruction to load the offset of the TLS
symbol within its module's thread-local storage block. Also known
as the dynamic thread pointer offset or dtp-relative offset.
<br><dt><code>!dtprelhi</code><dt><code>!dtprello</code><dt><code>!dtprel</code><dd>Like <code>gprel</code> relocations except they compute dtp-relative offsets.
<br><dt><code>!gottprel</code><dd>Used with an <code>ldq</code> instruction to load the offset of the TLS
symbol from the thread pointer. Also known as the tp-relative offset.
<br><dt><code>!tprelhi</code><dt><code>!tprello</code><dt><code>!tprel</code><dd>Like <code>gprel</code> relocations except they compute tp-relative offsets.
