RISC-V relies on aggressive linker relaxation to get good code size. As
a result no text symbol addresses can be known until link time, which
means that alignment must be handled during the link. This alignment
pass is essentially just another linker relaxation, so this has the
unfortunate side effect that linker relaxation is required for
correctness on many RISC-V targets.
The RISC-V assembler has supported an ".option norelax" for a long time
because there are situations in which linker relaxation is a bad idea --
the canonical example is when trying to materialize the initial value of
the global pointer into a register, which would otherwise be relaxed to
a NOP. We've been relying on users who want to disable relaxation for
an entire link to pass "-Wl,--no-relax", but that still relies on the
linker relaxing R_RISCV_ALIGN to handle alignment despite it not being
strictly necessary.
This patch adds a GCC option, "-mno-relax", that disable linker
relaxation by adding ".option norelax" to the top of every generated
assembly file. The assembler is smart enough to handle alignment at
assemble time for files that have never emitted a relaxable relocation,
so this is sufficient to really disable all relaxations in the linker,
which results in significantly faster link times for large objects.
This also has the side effect of allowing toolchains that don't support
linker relaxation (LLVM and the Linux module loader) to function
correctly. Toolchains that don't support linker relaxation should
default to "-mno-relax" and error when presented with any R_RISCV_ALIGN
relocation as those need to be handled for correctness.

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the individual source files for details. The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs. See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully. Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed individually.
