Subject: [PATCH] [RISC-V] Fix the valid gp range for gp relax.
Date: Wed,  5 Jul 2023 08:42:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230705084213.91043-1-lidie@eswincomputing.com> (raw)

Taking alignment into consideration, the conservative addressing range
for gp relax is [gp - 12bit_imm + max_alignment, gp + 12bit_imm - max_alignment],
which is smaller than the ideal GP addressing range [gp - 12bit_imm, gp + 
12bit_imm]. Therefore, when symval < gp, it is necessary to ensure that both 
symval and symval + reserve_size fall within the range [gp - 12bit_imm + alignment, 
gp + 12bit_imm - alignment]. Current linker takes the range of gp conservatively, 
this patch allows more symbols to be accessed by gp relative addressing.

Take the file named with gp-relax.s from this patch as the source file.

After assembling and linking with --relax option,
Before this patch:
0+[0-9a-f]+ <_start>:
.*:[ 	]+[0-9a-f]+[ 	]+lui+.*
.*:[ 	]+[0-9a-f]+[ 	]+addi+.*
.*:[ 	]+[0-9a-f]+[ 	]+lui+.*
.*:[ 	]+[0-9a-f]+[ 	]+addi+.*
.*:[ 	]+[0-9a-f]+[ 	]+auipc+.*
.*:[ 	]+[0-9a-f]+[ 	]+lw+.*

Check the symbal table after linking, we have :
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 19 entries:
   Num:    Value          Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
...
     7: 0000000000011900     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT  ABS __global_pointer$
...
    18: 0000000000011108  3600 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT    3 global_array

By comparing the values of `global_array` and `__global_pointer$`, the symbol of
global_array can be accessed by gp relative addressing.

After this patch:
0+[0-9a-f]+ <_start>:
.*:[ 	]+[0-9a-f]+[ 	]+addi[ 	]+a3,gp,\-[0-9]+ # [0-9a-f]+ <global_array>
.*:[ 	]+[0-9a-f]+[ 	]+addi[ 	]+a4,gp,\-[0-9]+ # [0-9a-f]+ <global_array+.*
.*:[ 	]+[0-9a-f]+[ 	]+lw[ 	]+a0,\-[0-9]+\(gp\) # [0-9a-f]+ <global_array>
