Subject: [PATCH] RISC-V: Allow long jumps to __syscall_error
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2022 15:25:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220916132530.1423287-1-l.stelmach@samsung.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CGME20220916133037eucas1p2aafce0ab15848778ab6b73afc57396fb@eucas1p2.samsung.com>

__syscall_error may end up farther than 1MiB away from a caller,
especially when linking statically large binaries. la+jr allow for
4GiB jumps.

Fixes: 36960f0c76 ("RISC-V: Linux Syscall Interface")
Fixes: 7f33b09c65 ("RISC-V: Linux ABI")

I was compiling and statically linking GNU Guile and I was getting a
lot of messages like this:

    /usr/lib64/libc.a(uname.o): in function `__uname':
    (.text+0x10): relocation truncated to fit: R_RISCV_JAL against symbol `__syscall_error' defined in .text section in /usr/lib64/libc.a(sysdep.o)

And indeed in uname.o there was a relative jump which was marked as
R_RISCV_JAL and pointed to __syscall_error. After sucessfully linking
the binary with this fix applied __uname and __syscall_error end up
1125000 bytes apart.

I suspect the two nops that the jump points to were meant(?)/could(??) be
used (if there were more of them) to be a placeholder for a longer
jump. Alas binutils 2.38 can't handle it properly (yet?), so a manual
intervention here seems reasonable.

I have neither seen any errors regarding code in *context.S and vfork.S
files nor tested if the altered code works, but I assume it needs to be
fixed as well.
