Binutils with MCST patches
2c6b98ea6f
=== Context === This patch is part of a patch series to add support for ARMv8-R architecture. Its purpose is to rework the Tag_CPU_arch build attribute value selection to (i) match architecture or CPU if specified by user without any need for hack and (ii) match an architecture with all the features used if in autodetection mode or return an error. === Motivation === Currently, Tag_CPU_arch build attribute value selection assumes that an architecture is always a superset of architectures released earlier. As such, the logic is to browse architectures in chronological order of release and selecting the Tag_CPU_arch value of the last one to contribute a feature used[1]/requested[2] not contributed by earlier architectures. [1] in case of autodetection mode [2] otherwise, ie. in case of -mcpu/-march or associated directives This logic fails the two objectives mentionned in the Context section. First, due to the assumption it does an architecture can be selected while not having all the features used/requested which fails the second objective. Second, not doing an exact match when an architecture or CPU is selected by the user means the wrong value is chosen when a later architecture provides a subset of the feature bits of an earlier architecture. This is the case for the implementation of ARMv8-R (see later patch). An added benefit of this patch is that it is possible to easily generate more consistent build attribute by setting the feature bits from the architecture matched in aeabi_set_public_attributes in autodetection mode. This is better done as a separate patch because lots of testcase' expected results must then be updated accordingly. === Patch description === The patch changes the main logic for Tag_CPU_arch and Tag_CPU_arch_profile values selection to: - look for an exact match in case an architecture or CPU was specified on the command line or in a directive - select the first released architecture that provides a superset of the feature used in the autodetection case - select the most featureful architecture in case of -march=all The array cpu_arch_ver is updated to include all architectures in order to make the first point work. Note that when looking for an exact match, the architecture with selected extension is tried first and then only the architecture. This is because some architectures are exactly equivalent to an earlier architecture with its extensions selected. ARMv6S-M (= ARMv6-M + OS extension) and ARMv6KZ (ARMv6K + security extension) are two such examples. Other adjustments are also necessary in aeabi_set_public_attributes to make this change work. 1) The logic to set Tag_ARM_ISA_use and Tag_THUMB_ISA_use must check the absence of feature bit used/requested to decide whether to give the default value for empty files (see EABI attribute defaults test). It was previously checking that arch == 0 which would only happen if no feature bit could be matched by any architecture, ie there is no feature bit to match. 2) A fallback to a superset match must exist when no_cpu_selected () returns true. This is because aeabi_set_public_attributes is called again after relaxation and at this point selected_cpu is set from the previous execution of that function. There is therefore no way to check whether the user specified an architecture or CPU. 3) Tag_CPU_arch lines are removed from expected output when the detected architecture should be pre-ARMv4, since 0 is the Tag_CPU_arch value for pre-ARMv4 architectures and default value for an absent entry is 0. 2017-06-21 Thomas Preud'homme <thomas.preudhomme@arm.com> gas/ * config/tc-arm.c (fpu_any): Defined from FPU_ANY.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
