Binutils with MCST patches
739b5c9c77
The Cortex-A53 erratum currently has two ways it can resolve the erratum when using the flag --fix-cortex-a53-843419: 1) If the address is within the range of an ADR instruction it rewrites the ADRP into an ADR, and those doesn't need the use of a veneer. 2) If the address is not within range, it adds a branch to a veneer which will execute the final bit of the erratum workaround and branch back to the call site. When we do this we always generate the veneers and we always align the size of the text section to 4KB. This is because we only know which workaround we can use after all linking has finished and all addresses are known. This means even though the veneers are not used, we still generate the section and we still change the size of the input section. This is problematic for small memory devices as this would require the user to take about a ~4KB hit in memory even though it's not even used. Since there's no real way to restart the linking process from the final write phase this patch solves the issue by allowing the user more control over which erratum workaround gets used. Concretely this changes the option --fix-cortex-a53-843419 to take optional arguments --fix-cortex-a53-843419[=full|adr|adrp] - full (default): Use both ADRP and ADR workaround. This is equivalent to not specifying any options and is the default behavior before this patch. - adr: Only use the ADR workaround, this will not cause any increase in binary size but linking will fail if the referenced address is out of range of an ADR instruction. - adrp: Use only the ADRP workaround, this will never rewrite your ADRP. In the cases where the user knows how big their binaries are the `adr` option would prevent the unneeded overhead. bfd/ChangeLog: PR ld/24373 * bfd-in.h (enum erratum_84319_opts): New (bfd_elf64_aarch64_set_options, bfd_elf32_aarch64_set_options): Change int to enum erratum_84319_opts. * bfd-in2.h: Regenerate. * elfnn-aarch64.c (struct elf_aarch64_link_hash_table): Change fix_erratum_843419 to use new enum, remove fix_erratum_843419_adr.

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.
