9.40.3.6 Instruction Operand Modifier
.....................................
If a symbol modifier is attached to a symbol in an expression for an
instruction operand field, the symbol term is replaced with a reference
to an object in the global offset table (GOT) or the procedure linkage
table (PLT). The following expressions are allowed: 'symbol@modifier +
constant', 'symbol@modifier + label + constant', and 'symbol@modifier -
label + constant'. The term 'symbol' is the symbol that will be entered
into the GOT or PLT, 'label' is a local label, and 'constant' is an
arbitrary expression that the assembler can evaluate to a constant
value.
The term '(symbol + constant1)@modifier +/- label + constant2' is
also accepted but a warning message is printed and the term is converted
to 'symbol@modifier +/- label + constant1 + constant2'.
'@got'
'@got12'
The @got modifier can be used for displacement fields, 16-bit
immediate fields and 32-bit pc-relative immediate fields. The
@got12 modifier is synonym to @got. The symbol is added to the
GOT. For displacement fields and 16-bit immediate fields the symbol
term is replaced with the offset from the start of the GOT to the
GOT slot for the symbol. For a 32-bit pc-relative field the
pc-relative offset to the GOT slot from the current instruction
address is used.
'@gotent'
The @gotent modifier can be used for 32-bit pc-relative immediate
fields. The symbol is added to the GOT and the symbol term is
replaced with the pc-relative offset from the current instruction
to the GOT slot for the symbol.
'@gotoff'
The @gotoff modifier can be used for 16-bit immediate fields. The
symbol term is replaced with the offset from the start of the GOT
to the address of the symbol.
'@gotplt'
The @gotplt modifier can be used for displacement fields, 16-bit
immediate fields, and 32-bit pc-relative immediate fields. A
procedure linkage table entry is generated for the symbol and a
jump slot for the symbol is added to the GOT. For displacement
fields and 16-bit immediate fields the symbol term is replaced with
the offset from the start of the GOT to the jump slot for the
symbol. For a 32-bit pc-relative field the pc-relative offset to
the jump slot from the current instruction address is used.
'@plt'
The @plt modifier can be used for 16-bit and 32-bit pc-relative
immediate fields. A procedure linkage table entry is generated for
the symbol. The symbol term is replaced with the relative offset
from the current instruction to the PLT entry for the symbol.
'@pltoff'
The @pltoff modifier can be used for 16-bit immediate fields. The
symbol term is replaced with the offset from the start of the PLT
to the address of the symbol.
'@gotntpoff'
The @gotntpoff modifier can be used for displacement fields. The
symbol is added to the static TLS block and the negated offset to
the symbol in the static TLS block is added to the GOT. The symbol
term is replaced with the offset to the GOT slot from the start of
the GOT.
'@indntpoff'
The @indntpoff modifier can be used for 32-bit pc-relative
immediate fields. The symbol is added to the static TLS block and
the negated offset to the symbol in the static TLS block is added
to the GOT. The symbol term is replaced with the pc-relative offset
to the GOT slot from the current instruction address.

'gotntpoff' and 'indntpoff' see the ELF extension documentation 'ELF
Handling For Thread-Local Storage'.
