+Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: fix PIE/PIC builds with newer gcc/binutils which use
+ secureplt by default
+
+This patch fixes segfault of all user space processes (including init, which caused a panic) on recent buildroot powerpc32 builds.
+
+The issue has been reported by Romain Naour in this thread: https://mailman.uclibc-ng.org/pipermail/devel/2021-May/002068.html
+
+Recent buildroot toolchain enables secure PLT in powerpc gcc.
+The latter will then supply -msecure-plt to gas invocations by default.
+Recent buildroot also enables PIE by default.
+
+For the secure PLT to work in PIC, the r30 register needs to point to the GOT.
+Old "bss plt" was just a one-instruction-wide PLT slot, pointed-to by a R_PPC_JMP_SLOT relocation, which was written on-the-fly to contain a branch instruction to the correct address. It therefore had to stay writable+executable, which you generally want to avoid for security reasons.
+New secure PLT only contains read-only code which loads the branch address from the writable GOT.
+
+Note: secure PLT without PIC does not need r30 to be set. Because offset between plt stub code and got is known at link-time. In this case the PLT entry looks like:
+1009b3e0 <__uClibc_main@plt>:
+1009b3e0: 3d 60 10 0e lis r11,4110
+1009b3e4: 81 6b 03 74 lwz r11,884(r11)
+1009b3e8: 7d 69 03 a6 mtctr r11
+1009b3ec: 4e 80 04 20 bctr
+
+Whereas secure PLT with PIC - offset between plt and got is unknown at link-time - looks like this:
+000af800 <00000000.plt_pic32.__uClibc_main>:
+ af800: 81 7e 03 80 lwz r11,896(r30)
+ af804: 7d 69 03 a6 mtctr r11
+ af808: 4e 80 04 20 bctr
+ af80c: 60 00 00 00 nop
