s390: Initial support to generate .sframe from CFI directives in assembler
This introduces initial support to generate .sframe from CFI directives
in assembler on s390 64-bit (s390x). Due to SFrame V2 format
limitations it has the following limitations, some of them getting
addressed by subsequent patches, which cause generation of SFrame FDE
to be skipped:
- SFrame FP/RA tracking only supports register contents being saved on
the stack (i.e. .cfi_offset). It does not support FP/RA register
contents being saved in other registers (i.e. .cfi_register). GCC on
s390x can be observed to save the FP/RA register contents in floating-
point registers, but only in leaf functions.
This issue is detailed further and resolved in the subsequent commit
"s390: Represent FP/RA saved in register in SFrame".
- SFrame FP/RA tracking cannot represent FP without RA saved. This is
because the format assumes SFrame FDE offset2 to be the RA offset, if
there are two offsets, and offset3 to be the FP offset, if there are
three offsets. There is no mean to distinguish whether offset2 is the
RA or FP offset, if there are only two offsets.
This issue is detailed further and resolved in the subsequent commit
"s390: Represent FP without RA saved in SFrame".
- SFrame assumes a dedicated FP register number. The s390x ELF ABI [1]
does only designate register 11 as preferred FP register number. In
general GCC and Clang on s390x use register 11 as frame pointer.
GCC on s390x can be observed to use register 14 as frame pointer in
the stack clash protector in the function prologue.
glibc on s390x contains hand-written assembler code that uses
register 12 as frame pointer.
This s390x support is largely based on the AArch64 support from commit
b52c4ee46657 ("gas: generate .sframe from CFI directives").
The SFrame ABI/arch identifier SFRAME_ABI_S390X_ENDIAN_BIG is introduced
for s390x and added to the SFrame format specification.
The s390x ELF ABI [1] specifies the following C calling conventions for
s390x architecture:
- Register 15 is the stack pointer (SP).
- Register 14 contains the return address (RA) at function entry.
- There is no dedicated frame pointer register. Register 11 is the
preferred frame pointer (FP). [2] GCC and Clang in general use
register 11 as frame pointer.
- The CFA is defined as SP at call site +160. [3] The SP at call site
can therefore be derived from the CFA using a SP value offset from CFA
of -160.
The s390x ELF ABI [1] does not assign any standard save slot to each
register in the register save area of a stack frame. Neither the
return address (RA, r14) nor preferred frame pointer (FP, r11)
necessarily need to be saved. Therefore SFrame RA and FP tracking is
used.
Support for SFrame on s390 is only enabled for the 64-bit s390x ELF ABI
(z/Architecture with 64-bit addressing mode). It is disabled for the
32-bit s390 ELF ABI (ESA/390 or z/Architecture with 32-bit addressing
mode).
s390x-specific SFrame assembler and linker tests are added, including
error tests for use of a non-preferred frame pointer (FP) register and
specification of a non-default return address (RA) register.
