+<h2><a class="header" href="#dynamic-linking-x86_64" id="dynamic-linking-x86_64">dynamic linking (x86_64)</a></h2>
+<pre><code class="language-makrdown"> - dynamic linking basically works via one indirect jump. It uses a
+ combination of function trampolines (.plt) and a function pointer table
+ (.got.plt). On the first call the trampoline sets up some metadata and
+ then jumps to the ld.so runtime resolve function, which in turn patches
+ the table with the correct function pointer.
+ .plt ....... contains function trampolines, usually located in code
+ segment (rx permission)
+ .got.plt ... hold the function pointer table
+
+ - following r2 dump shows this
+ - [0x00401030] indirect jump for 'puts' using function pointer in
+ _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[3]
+ - initially points to instruction behind 'puts' trampoline [0x00401036]
+ - this pushes relocation index and then jumps to the first trampoline
+ [0x00401020]
+ - the first trampoline jumps to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_[2] which will be
+ filled at program startup by the ld.so with its resolve function
+ - the resolve function fixes the relocation referenced by the
+ relocation index pushed by the 'puts' trampoline
+ - the relocation entry tells the resolve function which symbol to
+ search for and where to put the function pointer
+ &gt; readelf -r &lt;main&gt;
