[PATCH][AArch64][GCC 6] PR target/79041: Correct -mpc-relative-literal-loads logic in aarch64_classify_symbol

[Kyrill Tkachov]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1364 bytes --]

Hi all,

In this PR we generated ADRP/ADD instructions with :lo12: relocations on symbols even though -mpc-relative-literal-loads
is used. This is due to the confusing double-negative logic of the
nopcrelative_literal_loads aarch64 variable and its relation to the aarch64_nopcrelative_literal_loads global variable
in the GCC 6 branch.

Wilco fixed this on trunk as part of a larger patch (r237607) and parts of that patch were backported, but other parts weren't and
that patch now doesn't apply cleanly to the branch.

The actual bug here is that aarch64_classify_symbol uses nopcrelative_literal_loads instead of the correct aarch64_nopcrelative_literal_loads.
nopcrelative_literal_loads gets set to 1 if the user specifies -mpc-relative-literal-loads(!) whereas aarch64_nopcrelative_literal_loads gets
set to false, so that is the variable we want to check.

So this is the minimal patch that fixes this.

Bootstrapped and tested on aarch64-none-linux-gnu on the GCC 6 branch.

Ok for the branch?

Thanks,
Kyrill

As I commented to Jakub at the time he made the first partial backport,
I'd much rather just see all of Wilco's patch backported. We're not on
the verge of a 6 release now, so please just backport Wilco's patch (as
should have been done all along if this had been correctly identified as
a fix rather than a clean-up).

Thanks,
James

Unfortunately simply backporting the patch does not fix this PR.
The aarch64_classify_symbol changes do not have the desired effect
and the :lo12: relocations are generated.
I'll look into it, but I believe that would require a bigger change than this one-liner.

Thanks,
Kyri

Here is the backport of Wilco's patch (r237607) along with Kyrill's
one (r244643, which removed the remaining occurences of
aarch64_nopcrelative_literal_loads).  To fix the issue the original
patch has to be modified, to keep aarch64_pcrelative_literal_loads
test for large models in aarch64_classify_symbol.

On trunk and gcc-7-branch the :lo12: relocations are not generated
because of Wilco's fix for pr78733 (r243456 and 243486), but my
understanding is that the bug is still present since compiling
gcc.target/aarch64/pr78733.c with -mcmodel=large brings back the
:lo12: relocations (I'll submit a patch to add the test back if my
understanding is correct).

Cross built and regtested without issue for aarch64-linux-gnu,
aarch64-none-elf and aarch64_be-none-elf targets

OK for gcc-6-branch ?

Thanks
Yvan

Sorry for the fast ping, but since a 6.4 rc1 is planned for tomorrow,

The patch looks good to me, however I can't approve it.

You're right, eventhough -mpc-relative-literal-loads doesn't make much sense
in the large memory model, it seems best to keep the option orthogonal to
enable the workaround. I've prepared a patch to fix this on trunk/GCC7.
It also adds a test which we should add to your changes to GCC6 too.

ok thanks for the review.

ok, I think it is what kugan's proposed earlier today in:

https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-06/msg01967.html

I agree that -mpc-relative-literal-loads and large memory model
doesn't make much sense, now it is what is used in kernel build
system, but if you handle that in a bigger fix already, that's awesome
:)

Thanks

ping^3

I can include the new testcase added recently on trunk by Wilco
(gcc.target/aarch64/pr79041-2.c) if needed.
