Power10 pc-relative code doesn't use or preserve r2 as a TOC pointer. That means calling between pc-relative and TOC using code can't be done without intervening linker stubs, and a call from TOC code to pc-relative code must have a nop after the bl in order to restore r2.
Now the PowerPC libffi assembly code doesn't use r2 except for the implicit use when making calls back to C, ffi_closure_helper_LINUX64 and ffi_prep_args64. So changing the assembly to interoperate with pc-relative code without stubs is easily done. Controlling that is a new built-in macro. Upstream libffi currently has a different patch applied to work around the power10 build failure. I'll post a delta for upstream. Bootstrapped and regression tested on power8, built for power10. gcc/ * config/rs6000/rs6000-c.c (rs6000_target_modify_macros): Conditionally define __PCREL__. libffi/ * src/powerpc/linux64.S (ffi_call_LINUX64): Don't emit global entry when __PCREL__. Call using @notoc. (ffi_closure_LINUX64, ffi_go_closure_linux64): Likewise. diff --git a/gcc/config/rs6000/rs6000-c.c b/gcc/config/rs6000/rs6000-c.c index f5982907e90..cc1e997524e 100644 --- a/gcc/config/rs6000/rs6000-c.c +++ b/gcc/config/rs6000/rs6000-c.c @@ -597,6 +597,9 @@ rs6000_target_modify_macros (bool define_p, HOST_WIDE_INT flags, /* Tell the user if we support the MMA instructions. */ if ((flags & OPTION_MASK_MMA) != 0) rs6000_define_or_undefine_macro (define_p, "__MMA__"); + /* Whether pc-relative code is being generated. */ + if ((flags & OPTION_MASK_PCREL) != 0) + rs6000_define_or_undefine_macro (define_p, "__PCREL__"); } void diff --git a/libffi/src/powerpc/linux64.S b/libffi/src/powerpc/linux64.S index b2ae60ead6e..bfb4d2957ae 100644 --- a/libffi/src/powerpc/linux64.S +++ b/libffi/src/powerpc/linux64.S @@ -36,8 +36,10 @@ .cfi_startproc # if _CALL_ELF == 2 ffi_call_LINUX64: +# ifndef __PCREL__ addis %r2, %r12, .TOC.-ffi_call_LINUX64@ha addi %r2, %r2, .TOC.-ffi_call_LINUX64@l +# endif .localentry ffi_call_LINUX64, . - ffi_call_LINUX64 # else .section ".opd","aw" @@ -89,7 +91,11 @@ ffi_call_LINUX64: /* Call ffi_prep_args64. */ mr %r4, %r1 # if defined _CALL_LINUX || _CALL_ELF == 2 +# ifdef __PCREL__ + bl ffi_prep_args64@notoc +# else bl ffi_prep_args64 +# endif # else bl .ffi_prep_args64 # endif diff --git a/libffi/src/powerpc/linux64_closure.S b/libffi/src/powerpc/linux64_closure.S index 6487d2a2970..938e86034f1 100644 --- a/libffi/src/powerpc/linux64_closure.S +++ b/libffi/src/powerpc/linux64_closure.S @@ -37,8 +37,10 @@ .cfi_startproc # if _CALL_ELF == 2 ffi_closure_LINUX64: +# ifndef __PCREL__ addis %r2, %r12, .TOC.-ffi_closure_LINUX64@ha addi %r2, %r2, .TOC.-ffi_closure_LINUX64@l +# endif .localentry ffi_closure_LINUX64, . - ffi_closure_LINUX64 # else .section ".opd","aw" @@ -155,7 +157,11 @@ ffi_closure_LINUX64: # make the call # if defined _CALL_LINUX || _CALL_ELF == 2 +# ifdef __PCREL__ + bl ffi_closure_helper_LINUX64@notoc +# else bl ffi_closure_helper_LINUX64 +# endif # else bl .ffi_closure_helper_LINUX64 # endif @@ -396,8 +402,10 @@ ffi_closure_LINUX64: .cfi_startproc # if _CALL_ELF == 2 ffi_go_closure_linux64: +# ifndef __PCREL__ addis %r2, %r12, .TOC.-ffi_go_closure_linux64@ha addi %r2, %r2, .TOC.-ffi_go_closure_linux64@l +# endif .localentry ffi_go_closure_linux64, . - ffi_go_closure_linux64 # else .section ".opd","aw" -- Alan Modra Australia Development Lab, IBM
