Subject: [PATCH roland/arm-memcpy-fix] ARM: Fix memcpy computed-jump calculations for ARM_ALWAYS_BX case.
Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:38:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131122024219.836FC7469E@topped-with-meat.com> (raw)

I flubbed the first version (and its testing!) of this, so it worked in the
synthetic situation on GNU/Linux as I was testing, but did not work in the
actual Native Client situation that motivated the change.  For this fix I
tested on arm-linux-gnueabi with arm-features.h hacked to define
ARM_BX_ALIGN_LOG2 to 4, define ARM_ALWAYS_BX and ARM_NO_INDEX_REGISTER, and
define 'bx' as a macro for 'nop;bx' to simulate the Native Client build
where it's defined as a macro that expands to two instructions.  The last
hack (the 'bx' macro) is what was missing in my testing of the original
version; testing the trunk code with that hack demonstrated the bug.

OK for trunk?


Thanks,
Roland

	* sysdeps/arm/armv7/multiarch/memcpy_impl.S
	[ARM_ALWAYS_BX] (dispatch_helper): Fix PC computation to properly
	account for instructions after the reference to PC given that 'bx'
	might actually be expanded to multiple instructions.
	* sysdeps/arm/arm-features.h (ARM_BX_NINSNS): Macro removed.
