bfd: gas: ld: libsframe: adopt new encoding for FDE func start addr field
This patch convenes a set of changes in bfd, gas, ld, libsframe towards moving to the new encoding for the 'sfde_func_start_address' field in SFrame FDE. First, gas must now mark all SFrame sections with the new flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. gas was already emitting the field in the said encoding. * gas/gen-sframe.c (output_sframe_internal): Emit the flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. Similarly for ld, adopt the new semantics of sfde_func_start_address consistently. This means: - When merging SFrame sections, check that all input SFrame sections have the SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL flag set. If the check fails, ld errors out. - When merging SFrame sections, keep even the in-memory contents of the FDE function start address (buffer passed to libsframe sframe_encoder_write () for writing out) encoded in the new semantics. While it is, in theory, possible that instead of doing this change here, we adjust the value of sfde_func_start_address at the final write (sframe_encoder_write) time. But latter is not favorable for maintenanance and may be generally confusing for developers. - When creating SFrame for PLT entries, emit flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. include/ * sframe-api.h (SFRAME_F_LD_MUSTHAVE_FLAGS): New definition. bfd/ * elf-sframe.c (_bfd_elf_merge_section_sframe): Check for flag combinatation SFRAME_F_LD_MUSTHAVE_FLAGS set for all input and output SFrame sections. If not, error out. Also, adopt the new semantics of function start address encoding. * bfd/elfxx-x86.c (_bfd_x86_elf_create_sframe_plt): Emit flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. Next, for dumping SFrame sections, now that we are emitting the same encoding in GAS, non-relocatable and relocatable SFrame links, it is the time to set relocate to TRUE in debug_displays[]. binutils/ * dwarf.c (struct dwarf_section_display): Allow sframe sections to now be relocated. gas/testsuite/ * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-aarch64-pac-ab-key-1.d: Update the test. Relocatable SFrame sections now display non-zero value (appropriate function start address). Now, as the SFrame sections on-disk and in-memory use the new semantics of sfde_func_start_address encoding (i.e., function start address is the offset from the sfde_func_start_address field to the start PC), the calculation to make it human readable (i.e., relatable to the addresses in .text sections) needs adjustment. libsframe/ * sframe-dump.c (dump_sframe_func_with_fres): Adjust the function start address for dumping. Now that both the emission of the new encoding, and the relocation of sections before dumping them is in place, it is time to adjust the testcases. gas/testsuite/ * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-aarch64-1.d: Update expected output to include SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL instead of NONE. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-aarch64-2.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-aarch64-3.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-aarch64-4.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-1.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-10.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-11.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-2.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-3.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-4.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-5.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-6.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-7.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-8.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-common-9.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-1.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-2.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-empty-1.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-empty-2.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-empty-3.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/cfi-sframe-x86_64-empty-4.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/common-empty-1.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/common-empty-2.d: Likewise. * gas/cfi-sframe/common-empty-3.d: Likewise. * gas/scfi/x86_64/scfi-cfi-sections-1.d: Likewise. * gas/scfi/x86_64/scfi-dyn-stack-1.d: Likewise. ld/testsuite/ * ld-aarch64/sframe-simple-1.d: Update expected output to include SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL. * ld-x86-64/sframe-ibt-plt-1.d: Likewise. * ld-x86-64/sframe-plt-1.d: Likewise. * ld-x86-64/sframe-pltgot-1.d: Likewise. * ld-x86-64/sframe-pltgot-2.d: Likewise. * ld-x86-64/sframe-simple-1.d: Likewise. Naturally, the change of semantics for 'SFrame FDE function start address' has consequences on the implementation in libsframe. As per the new semantics: - Function start address in the SFrame FDE (sfde_func_start_address) is an offset from the FDE function start address field to the start PC of the associated function. Note that, the libsframe library brings the SFrame section contents into its own memory to create a sframe_decoder_ctx object via sframe_decode (). Many internal and user-interfacing APIs then may use sframe_decoder_ctx object to interact and fulfill the work. In context of changing semantics for sfde_func_start_address, following relevant examples may help understand the impact: - sframe_find_fre () finds a the SFrame stack trace data (SFrame FRE) given a lookup offset (offset of lookup_pc from the start of SFrame section). Now that the sfde_func_start_address includes the distance from the sfde_func_start_address field to the start of SFrame section itself, the comparison checks of sfde_func_start_address with the incoming lookup offset need adjustment. - Some internal functions (sframe_get_funcdesc_with_addr_internal () finds SFrame FDE by using binary seach comparing sfde_func_start_address fields, etc.) need adjustments. - sframe_encoder_write () sorts the SFrame FDEs before writing out the SFrame data. Sorting of SFrame FDE via the internal function sframe_sort_funcdesc() needs adjustments: the new encoding of sfde_func_start_address means the distances are not from the same anchor, so cannot be sorted directly. This patch takes the approach of adding a new internal function: - sframe_decoder_get_secrel_func_start_addr (): This function returns the offset of the start PC of the function from the start of SFrame section, i.e., it gives a section-relative offset. As the sframe_decoder_get_secrel_func_start_addr () API needs the value of the function index in the FDE list, another internal API needs sframe_fre_check_range_p () adjustments too. Sorting the FDEs (via sframe_sort_funcdesc ()) is done by first bringing all offsets in sfde_func_start_address relative to start of SFrame section, followed by sorting, and then readjusting the offsets accroding to the new position in the FDE list. libsframe/ * sframe.c (sframe_decoder_get_secrel_func_start_addr): New static function. (sframe_fre_check_range_p): Adjust the interface a bit. (sframe_get_funcdesc_with_addr_internal): Use sframe_decoder_get_secrel_func_start_addr () when comparing sfde_func_start_address with user input offset. (sframe_find_fre): Adopt the new semantics. (sframe_sort_funcdesc): Likewise. For the libsframe testsuite, use the new encoding for FDE func start addr: distance between the FDE sfde_func_start_address field and the start PC of the function itself. Use SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL flag, though the sframe_encode () interface in libsframe applies no sanity checks for the encoding itself. libsframe/testsuite/ * libsframe.find/findfre-1.c: Adjust to use the new SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL specific encoding. * libsframe.find/findfunc-1.c: Likewise. * libsframe.find/plt-findfre-1.c: Likewise. * libsframe/testsuite/libsframe.decode/DATA2: Update data file due to usage of new SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL flag. * libsframe/testsuite/libsframe.encode/encode-1.c: Use flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL.
