Since the use of rdrand was introduced in src/c++11/random.cc, all execution tests involving libstdc++.so.6 fail on Solaris 10 and 11/x86 with a sufficiently recent native assembler that supports rdrand: either Solaris 10/x86 patch 119961-11 or Solaris 11.1 builds (haven't checked which one). The problem is that as tags src/c++11/random.o as needing RDRAND support: % file random.o random.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable 80386 Version 1 [CMOV RDRAND] which is propagated to libstdc++.so.6 and causes the runtime linker to fail the execution if the hardware doesn't support that hardware capability, although rdrand is executed only if the cpuid indicates the support is present. The usual solution so far has been to clear the hardware capability using a linker map (as in libitm, cf. libitm/clearcap.map). Unfortunately, this doesn't work here: as can be seen with elfdump, RDRAND is set in a second mask (CA_SUNW_HW_2) since all bits in CA_SUNW_HW_1 are already used: % elfdump -H random.o Capabilities Section: .SUNW_cap Object Capabilities: index tag value [0] CA_SUNW_HW_1 0x20 [ CMOV ] [1] CA_SUNW_HW_2 0x1 [ RDRAND ] The old (v1) linker map syntax has no support for clearing that bit/mask, and while the v2 map syntax does, we cannot universally assume it's present on Solaris 10: while recent linker patches include it, older ones don't and ld and as can be updated independently. So I've settled for a different solution instead: Sun assemblers with hardware capability support also have a -nH switch to suppress their generation, thus I'm testing for that and use it if possible. This is exactly what the following patch does. Bootstrapped without regressions on i386-pc-solaris2.1[01] with affected versions of Sun as and gas 2.22. Results with gas are unchanged, with Sun as all failures are gone. x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu bootstrap is running to make sure nothing breaks there. Ok for mainline if that passes?
