[PATCH] Allow memset local PLT reference for RISC-V.

[PATCH] Allow memset local PLT reference for RISC-V.

[Alistair Francis]

This is similar to commit a26e2e9feab87d4f745c31411458b048742ac733
"Allow memset local PLT reference for powerpc soft-float.".

GCC 10.1 results in the localplt test failing for RISC-V.

From the original commit for power-pc:
    Since memset is documented as a function GCC may always implicitly
    generate calls to, it seems reasonable to allow that local PLT
    reference (just like those for libgcc functions that GCC implicitly
    generates calls to and that are also exported from libc.so), which
    this patch does.

Why doesn't the redirect in sysdeps/generic/symbol-hacks.h work?

I'm not sure.

I  suspect it's the same reason it didn't work in the commit this is
based off: a26e2e9feab87d4f745c31411458b048742ac733
"Allow memset local PLT reference for powerpc soft-float.".

The error is part of glibc's check scripts. I'm assuming memset is in
the binary which produces a check failure as we don't expect it to be.
I'm not sure where sysdeps/generic/symbol-hacks.h is involved in this
process though.

FWIW, for ARC port, Adhemerval suggested a similar workaround [1] but my stab at
it didn't work either [2]

Which function contains the memset PLT reference?  “objdump
--disassemble --reloc” should show it.  Does this function come from
libgcc, by chance?

yes this is libgcc. I saw this on ARC too (with gcc 10)

Uhm, how does this end up in libgcc?

Never mind, I must not have been awoke when I wrote this. But I'm sure at some
point with gcc-10 I saw a memset PLT call, but now forget how it triggered.

Please post disassembly showing the location of the PLT calls.  Which
functions have them?

Sorry, I was waiting on my build to finish (I forgot to keep the
artifacts the first time).

I'm assuming you wanted the objdump of libc.a?

I see this (which I'm guessing is the PLT call) in libc.a

00000012 <.LVL4>:
    *ptr++ = 0ul;
  12:   00000097                auipc   ra,0x0
                        12: R_RISCV_CALL        memset
                        12: R_RISCV_RELAX       *ABS*
  16:   000080e7                jalr    ra # 12 <.LVL4>

Which is called from the __sigblock() function.

Ah, I just checked libgcc, it has the memset PLT call:

0000020e <.L27>:
 20e:   0605                    addi    a2,a2,1
 210:   060a                    slli    a2,a2,0x2
 212:   4581                    li      a1,0
 214:   00000097                auipc   ra,0x0
                        214: R_RISCV_CALL_PLT   memset
                        214: R_RISCV_RELAX      *ABS*
 218:   000080e7                jalr    ra # 214 <.L27+0x6>

There are a few of them in libgcc.a as well.

libc_pic.a.  libc.a is built for static linking and does not use the
symbol hacks.

If the PLT reference comes from libgcc.a, it won't show up in
libc_pic.a, though.  It will only be present in libc.so.

Ah ok.

There is also a PLT memset in libc_pic.a

 1bc:   009aa023                sw      s1,0(s5)
          memset (result->__data, '\0',

And that's linked into libc.so?

I would suggest to figure out the name of the function (not sure why
objdump doesn't print it in your case), and add that to the comment
localplt.data.

That's weird.  What does a direct call (to a hidden symbol) look like,
relocation-wise.

Look at different internal calls, e.g. __twalk_r and __libc_updwtmp (for
two variants, one with a hidden prototype and one without).

Okay, then the memcpy symbol hack does not work on RISC-V, and it's
worth fixing that.

It would be interesting to build iconv/gconv_open.c with --save-temps
and see what exactly ends up in the assembler file (and also what the
preprocessed sources look like).

I think we should see R_RISCV_CALL instead of R_RISCV_CALL_PLT, like
here:

 1be:   00000097                auipc   ra,0x0
                        1be: R_RISCV_CALL       __GI___twalk_r

But so far, the guidance has been *not* to rely on linker relaxation.

And as the __twalk_r shows, RISC-V actually has real local calls which
don't need linker relaxation.  So I still think something is very
unusual with this target.

Florian

This is RISC-V, it does everything through linker relaxation.

There is a proposal to deprecate one of R_RISCV_CALL and
R_RISCV_CALL_PLT, because whether you get a call to a plt or not
depends on the symbol info, not the relocation type.  We don't
actually need two different relocs for this.  Old ABIs like x86 have
two relocs, but new ABIs like aarch64 have only one reloc for calls.
So it was a mistake in the RISC-V ABI to define two relocs.  The LLVM
RISC-V port actually handles the two relocs exactly the same.  GNU ld
handles them slightly differently, but that is something that needs to
be fixed when we deprecate one.  I think that the RISC-V gcc port
always emits the R_RISCV_CALL_PLT reloc when PIC, and always emits
R_RISCV_CALL when not-PIC.  Then the linker decides for
R_RISCV_CALL_PLT whether we actually need a plt or not.

Anyways, if you want to know where the PLT call is coming from, you
can't rely on the relocs.  R_RISCV_CALL_PLT is not necessarily a plt
call.

 If a PLT entry has been created, then the linker must have considered the 
symbol referred preemptible, whether legitimately or not.

 Rather than scratching one's head I would suggest running the relevant LD 
invocation under GDB to find out what really happens there, which may be 
as easy as setting a breakpoint on `riscv_elf_finish_dynamic_symbol' with 
the right condition on the hash entry so as to stop on `memset' only, and 
then working backwards with a watchpoint (on a host system that does not 
use ASLR) to find out what sets `h->plt.offset'.  There'll be the answer.

I tried to look into this but haven't made much progress here. If
anyone has more ideas they would be very welcome otherwise I'll keep
digging into this.

 The `h->needs_plt' flag is set by this `riscv_elf_check_relocs' code in 
bfd/elfnn-riscv.c:
        
	case R_RISCV_CALL_PLT:
	  /* This symbol requires a procedure linkage table entry.  We
	     actually build the entry in adjust_dynamic_symbol,
	     because this might be a case of linking PIC code without
	     linking in any dynamic objects, in which case we don't
	     need to generate a procedure linkage table after all.  */

	  if (h != NULL)
	    {
	      h->needs_plt = 1;
	      h->plt.refcount += 1;
	    }
	  break;

due to a reference from `addtf3.o', from `libgcc.a'.  There are further 20 
references for a total of 21.  There is a later opportunity for the flag 
to be cleared in `riscv_elf_adjust_dynamic_symbol', as observed in the 
comment, however that only happens for symbols that bind locally, or which 
are not referenced, and for `memset' obviously neither is the case (and 
`allocate_dynrelocs' sets `h->plt.offset' in place of `h->plt.refcount' 
then).

 I don't think we have a way to redirect the reference to `__GI_memset'.

RISC-V: `ld.so' fails linking against `libgcc.a' built at `-O0' (was: Re: [PATCH] Allow memset local PLT reference for RISC-V.)

 Additionally, I need to mention that where `libgcc.a' has been built at 
`-O0', RV32 `ld.so' fails linking due to unresolved `malloc' and `free' 
references from numerous `libgcc.a' objects.  This is because those 
objects pull in the exception unwinder; specifically `__divdi3', 
`__moddi3', and `__umoddi3' all include a call to `_Unwind_Resume' each.

 Arguably this might probably be called a deficiency in libgcc, however 
the objects are built with `-fexceptions -fnon-call-exceptions' and at 
`-O0' GCC might not be able to see through code that no exception may 
happen there.  Therefore I am not sure offhand if this needs to be 
considered a GCC or glibc bug.

I consider that broken.  It doesn't make any sense to build a lowlevel
runtime library like libgcc with exceptions.

Indeed - you only need to be able to unwind through those, so
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables should be used.

 This is libgcc's default however, only overridden for a couple of ARM 
targets, for the very reason to avoid pulling in the unwinder, according 
to the associated comments.  This was added with commit fc6aa0a98a0c some 
3 months before commit b932f770f70d added `-fasynchronous-unwind-tables' 
as a supported compiler option, all back in 2001, so we've had it for 
quite a while now.

 The RISC-V target doesn't appear to produce any division overflow traps, 
which would necessarily have to be arranged by a software convention like 
with, say, the MIPS target, as the relevant hardware instructions do not 
trigger an exception under any conditions.

 By switching to `-fasynchronous-unwind-tables' the ARM override can also 
go presumably, right?

I'm not really clear where this ended up. I have a session at Plumbers
next week to discuss the RV32 port and am planning on discussing this
issue as well.

It would be great if as many people as possible could be there.

 This: <https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2020-August/112750.html>

This was discussed in the RISC-V Plumbers session yesterday and the

So apparently the binutils patch does not fix it.

I'm going to apply this patch. It has been acked by Palmer. Let me
know if anyone objects.
