Subject: [PATCH v3 09/15] gas: User readable warnings if SFrame FDE is not generated
Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2024 16:47:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240412144718.4191286-10-jremus@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240412144718.4191286-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com>

The following generic warning message, which is printed whenever the
assembler skips generation of SFrame FDE, is not very helpful for the
user:

  skipping SFrame FDE due to DWARF CFI op <name> (0x<hexval>)

Whenever possible print meaningful warning messages, when the assembler
skips generation of SFrame FDE:

- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_def_cfa defining non-SP/FP register
  <regno> as CFA base register
- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_def_cfa_register defining non-SP/FP
  register <regno> as CFA base register
- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_def_cfa_offset without CFA base
  register in effect
- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_def_cfa_offset with non-SP/FP register
  <regno> as CFA base register in effect
- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_val_offset specifying {FP|RA} register
- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_remember_state without SFrame FRE
  state
- skipping SFrame FDE due to .cfi_register specifying {SP|FP|RA}
  register
- skipping SFrame FDE due to non-default return-address register <regno>

gas/
	* gen-sframe.h (SFRAME_FRE_BASE_REG_INVAL): New macro for
	invalid SFrame FRE CFA base register value of -1.
	* gen-sframe.c: User readable warnings if SFrame FDE is not
	generated.

gas/testsuite/
	* gas/cfi-sframe/common-empty-1.d: Update generic SFrame test
	case to updated warning message texts.
	* gas/cfi-sframe/common-empty-2.d: Likewise.
	* gas/cfi-sframe/common-empty-3.d: Likewise.

Notes (jremus):
    Changes v2 -> v3:
    - Updated SFrame warning message texts as suggested by Indu, except for
      the .cfi_def_cfa[_register] ones. I think it would be helpful for the
      user to know that the issue is caused by a non-SP/FP register. But
      maybe that is because I am new to CFI and those that would actually
      debug the cause for these warnings would not need this extra
      information? Anyhow, Indu, if you still prefer your suggestions I
      would go with yours.
      The ".cfi_remember_state without SFrame FRE state" warning needs to
      remain, as there would otherwise not be any warning at all. The reason
      is that sframe_do_cfi_insn now expects any of its called CFI
      processing functions to emit a warning, if they return with an error,
      such as SFRAME_XLATE_ERR_NOTREPRESENTED. Silently skipping SFrame FDE
      does not seem an acceptable approach to me.
    - Do not test sframe_ra_tracking_p when determining the SFrame register
      name in sframe_register_name. The RA register name does not depend on
      whether RA tracking is used or not.
    - Corrected formatting of ChangeLog in commit message.
