RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Consider this assembler source file (reloc.s):

	.text
	mov malloc@GOTPCREL(%rip), %rax
	jmp malloc@plt

Assemble and link it into a shared object:

as -o reloc.o reloc.s
ld -o reloc.so -shared reloc.o

binutils-2.23.52.0.1-16.el7.x86_64 generates these relocations:

Relocation section '.rela.dyn' at offset 0x200 contains 1 entries:
    Offset             Info             Type               Symbol's Value  Symbol's Name + Addend
0000000000200ff8  0000000200000006 R_X86_64_GLOB_DAT      0000000000000000 malloc + 0

Relocation section '.rela.plt' at offset 0x218 contains 1 entries:
    Offset             Info             Type               Symbol's Value  Symbol's Name + Addend
0000000000201018  0000000200000007 R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT     0000000000000000 malloc + 0

But binutils-2.27-27.base.el7.x86_64 generates these relocations:

Relocation section '.rela.dyn' at offset 0x1e0 contains 1 entries:
    Offset             Info             Type               Symbol's Value  Symbol's Name + Addend
0000000000200ff8  0000000100000006 R_X86_64_GLOB_DAT      0000000000000000 malloc + 0

This is a regression because it prevents PLT enter/exit hooks from working for malloc@plt.

I forgot to mention that this issue does not seem to be present in binutils-2.31.1-12.fc30.x86_64.

Fixed in binutils-2.27-38.base.el7
