S390: Fix relocation of _nl_current_LC_CATETORY_used in static build. [BZ #19860]
With shared libc, all locale categories are always loaded. For static libc they aren't, but there exist a weak _nl_current_LC_CATEGORY_used symbol for each category. If the category is used, the locale/lc-CATEGORY.o is linked in where _NL_CURRENT_DEFINE (LC_CATEGORY) defines and sets the _nl_current_LC_CATEGORY_used symbol to one. As reported by Marcin "Bug 18960 - s390: _nl_locale_subfreeres uses larl opcode on misaligned symbol" (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18960) In function _nl_locale_subfreeres (locale/setlocale.c) for each category a check - &_nl_current_LC_CATEGORY_used != 0 - decides whether the category is used or not. There is also a second usage with the same mechanism in function __uselocale (locale/uselocale.c). On s390 a larl instruction with R_390_PC32DBL relocation is used to get the address of _nl_current_LC_CATEGORY_used symbols. As larl loads the address relative in halfwords and the code is always 2-byte aligned, larl can only load even addresses. At the end, the relocated address is always zero and never one. Marcins patch (see bugzilla) uses the following declaration in locale/setlocale.c: extern char _nl_current_##category##_used __attribute__((__aligned__(1))); In function _nl_locale_subfreeres all categories are checked and therefore gcc is now building an array of addresses in rodata section with an R_390_64 relocation for every address. This array is loaded with larl instruction and each address is accessed by index. This fixes only the usage in _nl_locale_subfreeres. Each user has to add the alignment attribute. This patch set the _nl_current_LC_CATEGORY_used symbols to two instead of one. This way gcc can use larl instruction and the check against zero works on every usage. ChangeLog: [BZ #19860] * locale/localeinfo.h (_NL_CURRENT_DEFINE): Set _nl_current_LC_CATEGORY_used to two instead of one.
