<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
