[patch] [arm] New option for PIC offset unfixed

[patch] [arm] New option for PIC offset unfixed

[Joey Ye]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 863 bytes --]

For RTOS who need to relocate executable, PC relative and GOTOFF cannot be
used as the offset between any sections won't be fixed. Only GOT can be
used, just as VxWorks RTP does.

This patch introduces a new option enable user to choose between fixed
offset or not. Enabled for VxWorks RTP to keep its behavior unchanged.

Tested with arm-none-eabi make and VxWorks RTP small case

OK to trunk?

ChangeLog:
2013-11-12  Joey Ye  <joey.ye@arm.com>

	* config/arm/arm.c (arm_option_override):  Error if
	-mpic-offset-unfixed without -fpic, and set for
	VxWorks RTP.
	(legitimize_pic_address): Use arm_pic_offset_unfixed.
	(arm_assemble_integer): Likewise.
	* config/arm/arm.h
	(TARGET_DEFAULT_PIC_OFFSET_UNFIXED): New macro.
	* config/arm/arm.opt (mpic-offset-unfixed): New option.
	* doc/invoke.texi (-mpic-offset-unfixed): Doc for new option.

The name of the option and the documentation highlights that the
option's concept is confusing.

I think what you really need to do is to reverse the sense of the option
name and have

-mpic-data-is-text-relative

with the inverse (-mno-pic-data-is-text-relative) being the active value
that triggers for vxworks.  That is, PIC data being text-relative is the
default for all targets except vxworks.

R.

Oh, and at run time, we should be talking about segments, not sections!

Richard, Thanks for quick response.

Updated patch renamed the option, variables and macro. Also use segments in
document. OK?

Why is this needed?  Surely, even a VxWorks user should have the right
to force the compiler to behave differently.  You've set things up
through the default, now just accept what the user has asked for.

I'm not sure about this either.  The option should just be ignored when
not PIC.

                           ^
Assume data segment will be loaded at a fixed relative offset to the
text segment.

I think the sense of this sentence is now backwards.  I'd also try to
avoid GOTOFF in the user part of the manual.

The reason is that TARGET_VXWORKS_RTP isn't a compile time value to initiate
arm.opt. Instead it is true only when -mrtp is specified in runtime. Also
enable text relative may result in runtime error on vxworks, it is better to
prevent it here.

It is ignored if -fpic isn't given. I'm OK to remove the error here, while
Ramana preferred to error it.

No, that's still backwards.  Remember, the option is now
pic-data-is-text-relative, so the option /permits/ addressing data using
PC-relative operations.

I'd be happier if this was only done if the command-line option was not
explicitly set on the command line.

No, use the global_options_set structure to find out if the user has set
the value.

Thanks!

The only reference of TARGET_VXWORKS_RTP in arm.md is define_insn
pic_offset_arm, which is used in arm_load_pic_register as
  if (TARGET_VXWORKS_RTP)
    {
      ...
      emit_insn (gen_pic_offset_arm (pic_reg, pic_reg, pic_tmp));
    }

Apparently it is a VxWorks specific pattern, I don't think it should be
changed, though I'm not 100% sure.

This is OK.

However, don't you also need to fix the other references to
TARGET_VXWORKS_RTP; eg pic_offset_arm in arm.md?
