2025-07-07LoongArch: Allow to relax instructions into NOPs after handling alignmentWANG Xuerui5-73/+227
Right now, LoongArch linker relaxation is 2-pass, since after alignment is done, byte deletion can no longer happen. However, as the alignment pass also shrinks text sections, new relaxation chances may well be created after alignment is done. Although at this point we can no longer delete unused instructions without disturbing alignment, we can still replace them with NOPs; popular LoongArch micro-architectures can eliminate NOPs during execution, so we can expect a (very) slight performance improvement from those late-created relaxation chances. To achieve this, the number of relax passes is raised to 3 for LoongArch, and every relaxation handler except loongarch_relax_align is migrated to a new helper loongarch_relax_delete_or_nop, that either deletes bytes or fills the bytes to be "deleted" with NOPs, depending on whether the containing section already has undergone alignment. Also, since no byte can be deleted during this relax pass, in the pass the pending_delete_ops structure is no longer allocated, and loongarch_calc_relaxed_addr(x) degrades to the trivial "return x" in this case. In addition, previously when calculating distances to symbols, an extra segment alignment must be considered, because alignment may increase distance between sites. However in the newly added 3rd pass code size can no longer increase for "closed" sections, so we can skip the adjustment for them to allow for a few more relaxation chances. A simple way to roughly measure this change's effectiveness is to check how many pcalau12i + addi.d pairs are relaxed into pcaddi's. Taking a Firefox 140.0.2 test build of mine as an example: Before: 47842 pcaddi's in libxul.so After: 48089 This is a 0.5% increase, which is kind of acceptable for a peephole optimization like this; of which 9 are due to the "relax"ed symbol distance treatment.

2025-07-06ld: bfd: sframe: fix incorrect r_offset in RELA entriesIndu Bhagat5-1/+138
PR/32666 Incorrect .rela.sframe when using ld -r Input SFrame sections are merged using _bfd_elf_merge_section_sframe (), which clubs all SFrame FDEs together in one blob and all SFrame FREs in another. This, of course, means the offset of an SFrame FDE in the output section cannot be simply derived from the output_offset of the sections. Fix this by providing _bfd_elf_sframe_section_offset () which returns the new offset of the SFrame FDE in the merged SFrame section. Unlike EH_Frame sections, which also use the _bfd_elf_section_offset (), to update the r_offset, SFrame sections have distinct merging semantics. In case of SFrame, the SFrame FDE will not simply sit at location "sec->output_offset + offset of SFrame FDE in sec". Recall that information layout in an SFrame section is as follows: SFrame Header SFrame FDE 1 SFrame FDE 2 ... SFrame FDEn SFrame FREs (Frame Row Entries) Note how the SFrame FDEs and SFrame FREs are clubber together in groups of their own. Next, also note how the elf_link_input_bfd () does a: irela->r_offset += o->output_offset; This, however, needs to be avoided for SFrame sections because the placement of all FDEs is at the beginning of the section. So, rather than conditionalizing this as follows: if (o->sec_info_type != SEC_INFO_TYPE_SFRAME) irela->r_offset += o->output_offset; the implementation in _bfd_elf_sframe_section_offset () does a reverse adjustment, so that the generic parts of the linking process in elf_link_input_bfd () are not made to do SFrame specific adjustments. Add a new enum to track the current state of the SFrame input section during the linking process (SFRAME_SEC_DECODED, SFRAME_SEC_MERGED) for each input SFrame section. This is then used to assert an assumption that _bfd_elf_sframe_section_offset () is being used on an input SFrame sections which have not been merged (via _bfd_elf_merge_section_sframe ()) yet. bfd/ * elf-bfd.h: New declaration. * elf-sframe.c (_bfd_elf_sframe_section_offset): New definition. * elf.c (_bfd_elf_section_offset): Adjust offset if SFrame section. ld/testsuite/ * ld-x86-64/x86-64.exp: New test. * ld-x86-64/sframe-reloc-1.d: New test.
2025-07-06bfd: gas: ld: libsframe: adopt new encoding for FDE func start addr fieldIndu Bhagat45-71/+200
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.

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.

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.
2025-07-06objdump, readelf: sframe: apply relocations before textual dumpIndu Bhagat4-77/+68
PR libsframe/32589 - function start address is zero in SFrame section dump Currently, readelf and objdump display the SFrame sections in ET_REL object files with function start addresses of each function as 0. This makes it difficult to correlate SFrame stack trace information with the individual functions in the object file. For objdump, use the dump_dwarf () interface to dump SFrame section. Similarly, for readelf, use the display_debug_section () interface to dump SFrame section. These existing interfaces (for DWARF debug sections) already support relocating the section contents before dumping, so lets use them for SFrame sections as well. When adding a new entry for SFrame in debug_option_table[], use char 'nil' and the option name of "sframe-internal-only". This is done so that there is no additional (unnecessary) user-exposed ways of dumping SFrame sections. Additionally, we explicitly disallow the "sframe-internal-only" from external/user input in --dwarf (objdump). Similarly, "sframe-internal-only" is explicitly matched and disallowed from --debug-dump (readelf). For objdump and readelf, we continue to keep the same error messaging as earlier: $ objdump --sframe=sframe bubble_sort.o ... No sframe section present $ objdump --sframe=.sfram bubble_sort.o ... No .sfram section present $ objdump --sframe=sframe-internal-only sort ... No sframe-internal-only section present Similarly for readelf: $ readelf --sframe= bubble_sort.o readelf: Error: Section name must be provided $ readelf --sframe=.sfram bubble_sort.o readelf: Warning: Section '.sfram' was not dumped because it does not exist $ readelf --sframe=sframe bubble_sort.o readelf: Warning: Section 'sframe' was not dumped because it does not exist PS: Note how this patch adds a new entry to debug_displays[] with a relocate value set to FALSE. This will be set to TRUE in a subsequent patch ("bfd: gas: ld: libsframe: emit func start addr field as an offset from FDE") when fixes are made to emit the value of the 'sfde_func_start_address' field in the new encoding SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL across gas and ld. binutils/ * dwarf.c (display_sframe): New definition.

2025-07-06include: sframe: doc: define new flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCRELIndu Bhagat4-10/+41
Add a new flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL to SFrame stack trace format. If set, this flag indicates that the function start address field (sfde_func_start_address) is the offset to the function start address from the SFrame FDE function start address field itself. Such an encoding is friendlier to the exisitng PC-REL relocations available in the ABIs supported in SFrame: AMD64 (R_X86_64_PC32) and AArch64 (R_AARCH64_PREL32). In subsequent patches, we will make the implementation in gas and ld to both: - emit the values in the same (above-mentioned) encoding uniformly. - set the flag SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL in the SFrame header for consumers to be able to distinguish. Define SFRAME_V2_F_ALL_FLAGS in sframe.h to help keep the implementation less error-prone by keeping a set of all defined flags at a central place. Adjust the check in sframe_header_sanity_check_p () to use the SFRAME_V2_F_ALL_FLAGS instead. Add documentation for SFRAME_F_FDE_FUNC_START_PCREL.

2025-07-06MIPS/BFD: Fix RELA handling of borrow in the generic linkerMaciej W. Rozycki18-18/+138
Fix an issue with `_bfd_mips_elf_generic_reloc' not taking into account any borrow from the lower part in the handling of relocations of the HI/LO kind and resulting in incorrect calculations made for RELA targets in the generic used for non-ELF output such as S-records. This doesn't trigger for REL targets because they call `_bfd_mips_elf_generic_reloc' indirectly from `_bfd_mips_elf_lo16_reloc' so as to obtain a complete 32-bit addend from relocation pairs and in calculating the addend the latter function uses a hack to work around the lack of borrow handling in the former function. The MIPS/ELF linker is unaffected as it uses its own calculations. Correct the calculation of the relevant partial relocations made in `_bfd_mips_elf_generic_reloc' then to take the borrow into account and remove the hack from `_bfd_mips_elf_lo16_reloc' as no longer needed. Add generic linker test cases accordingly expecting the same disassembly from srec output produced as from ELF output produced by the MIPS/ELF linker.

Modify the linker script so as to retain the `.MIPS.abiflags' section so as to disassemble MIPS16e2 code correctly, as MIPS16e2 ASE information is only carried in that section and not in ELF file header's `e_flags'. MIPS16e2 and microMIPS code requires at least the MIPS32r2 ISA (or the MIPS64r2 one for the n32 and n64 ABIs), which is incompatible with the `mips:5900' linker output architecture and causes link failures such as: ./ld-new: tmpdir/mips-hilo1.o: linking mips:isa32r2 module with previous mips:5900 modules ./ld-new: failed to merge target specific data of file tmpdir/mips-hilo1.o Therefore exclude `mips*el-ps2-elf*' targets from microMIPS and MIPS16e2 LD testing.

With mips16-hilo test this leads to a different symbol assignment to memory locations between o32 and n32 ABIs, as follows: --- o32.map +++ n32.map @@ -46,23 +46,22 @@ *(.sdata) 0x00765430 . = 0x765430 -.bss 0x00765430 0x7d8 +.bss 0x00765430 0x7d9 *(.bss) .bss 0x00765430 0x3f0 tmpdir/mips16-hilo.o .bss 0x00765820 0x0 tmpdir/mips16-hilo1.o *(COMMON) - COMMON 0x00765820 0x3e8 tmpdir/mips16-hilo.o + COMMON 0x00765820 0x3e9 tmpdir/mips16-hilo.o 0x00765820 big_external_common + 0x00765c08 small_external_common -.sbss 0x00765c08 0x2 +.sbss 0x00765c09 0x1 *(.sbss) - .sbss 0x00765c08 0x1 tmpdir/mips16-hilo.o + .sbss 0x00765c09 0x1 tmpdir/mips16-hilo.o *(.scommon) - .scommon 0x00765c09 0x1 tmpdir/mips16-hilo.o - 0x00765c09 small_external_common /DISCARD/ *(*) LOAD tmpdir/mips16-hilo.o LOAD tmpdir/mips16-hilo1.o -OUTPUT(tmpdir/dump elf32-bigmips) +OUTPUT(tmpdir/dump elf32-nbigmips) which in turn causes a testsuite regression. Since the specific mapping of symbols does not matter for the scope of the test, reorder the small common section ahead of SBSS, so that the `small_external_common' symbol ends up in the same place regardless of whether via the regular common section or the small common section. Adjust embedded addresses in the disassembly expected accordingly, removing the regression concerned: mips-sgi-irix6 -FAIL: R_MIPS16_HI16 and R_MIPS16_LO16 relocs n32 mips64el-ps2-elf -FAIL: R_MIPS16_HI16 and R_MIPS16_LO16 relocs n32

Self test failed: self-test failed at scoped_mmap-selftests.c:50 Failures: scoped_mmap Ran 1 unit tests, 1 failed ... The problem is that this call: ... ::scoped_mmap smmap (nullptr, sysconf (_SC_PAGESIZE), PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, 0, 0); ... returns MAP_FAILED and sets errno to EINVAL because the argument fd == 0. If MAP_ANONYMOUS is used, fd == -1 should be used on freebsd. On linux, fd is ignored but -1 is recommended for portability. Fix this by using fd == -1 instead. Tested x86_64-freebsd and x86_64-linux.

2025-07-05gdb: create gdb.sum/gdb.log summary after using check-all-boardsAndrew Burgess1-1/+11
Use the contrib/dg-extract-results.sh script to create a gdb.sum and gdb.log summary after running the check-all-boards make target. Having the results from all the boards merged into a single file isn't (maybe) the most useful, but it isn't a bad thing. However, the great thing about merge the results is that the totals are also merged. The 'check-all-boards' recipe can then extract these totals, just as we do for the normal 'check' recipe, this makes is much easier to spot if there are any unexpected failures when using 'check-all-boards'.

2025-07-04gas: introduce .errif and .warnifJan Beulich8-0/+112
Rather than having people resort to indirect means to issue a certain kind of diagnostic conditionally upon an expression which can (or should) only be evaluated when all sections were sized and all symbols had their final values established, provide directives to directly achieve this.
2025-07-04gas: add a means to programmatically determine the assembler versionJan Beulich10-2/+115
It has been more than once that I would have wanted to have a way to know the gas version in assembly sources, perhaps for use with .if. Add such a pre-defined symbol, introducing the common pattern GAS(<symbol>) for any such symbols. The use of parentheses is to keep the risk of collisions with users' symbols as low as possible. (Possible future arch-specific symbols may want to use GAS(<arch>:<symbol>).) Similarly permit determining whether the assembler is a released version. The exact value probably isn't of much use, it's more the defined-ness that one might care about. Yet the symbol needs to have some value anyway. While by default pre-defined symbols won't be emitted to the symbol table, introduce -emit-local-absolute to allow requesting this. Re- purpose flag_strip_local_absolute to become tristate, with a negative value indicating to also emit pre-defined symbols.
2025-07-04cris/testsuite: don't use --em=Jan Beulich254-254/+254
Using such abbreviations is fine when written on an interactive command line by a human. In scripts and alike, doing so risks colliding with later option additions, as is about to occur for gas: Shortly there'll be --emit-local-absolute.

This commit adds fpcr_flags and dyn_rm_enum types to define the fpcr. For details on the floating-point control register (fpcr), please see the Alpha Architecture Reference Manual, 4th Ed. [1]; in brief, it consists of a 64-bit bitfield with most bits reserved/unused. All but a pair of the used bits are boolean flags; the exception, DYN_RM, is a 2-bit enum indicating the IEEE rounding mode and is defined as a dyn_rm_enum type in the target description annex.

2025-07-02gdb/alpha: Add target description supportYodel Eldar7-39/+276
This commit adds target description support for Alpha. The target description obviates the alpha_register_type and alpha_register_name functions in alpha-tdep.c. Removal of alpha_register_reggroup_p was considered but ultimately abandoned, because the "info regs" command would no longer omit the zero, fpcr, and unique registers from its output (they are neither vector nor float types). Register types in the target description annex match the types that the alpha_register_type function returned. The locally defined register_names array was moved out of alpha_register_name and renamed to alpha_register_names as a static global; calls to alpha_register_name have been replaced with direct access of the array.
