Bug ID: 26406
Summary: The direction flag in the FLAGS register may be wrong
in interrupt handler
Product: new-bugs
Version: trunk
Hardware: PC
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P
Component: new bugs
Assignee: unassignedb...@nondot.org
Reporter: hjl.to...@gmail.com

Classification: Unclassified
The x86 psABI says
The direction flag DF in the FLAGS register must be clear (set to “forward”
direction) on function entry and return. Other user flags have no specified
role in the standard calling sequence and are not preserved across calls
Since the direction flag (DF) in the FLAGS register is undetermined in
interrupt handler, the result will be wrong if DF isn't cleared:
[hjl@gnu-6 bin]$ cat /tmp/x.i
extern void *a;
extern int b;
__attribute__ ((interrupt))
void
foo (void *frame)
{
__builtin_memset (a, b, 40);
}
[hjl@gnu-6 bin]$ ./clang -S -Os /tmp/x.i -m32 -mno-sse
[hjl@gnu-6 bin]$ cat x.s
.text
.file "/tmp/x.i"
.globl foo
.type foo,@function
foo: # @foo
# BB#0: # %entry
pushl %esp
pushl %edx
pushl %ecx
pushl %eax
subl $12, %esp
subl $4, %esp
pushl $40

[hjl@gnu-6 bin]$
The current interrupt spec:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66960#c4
has
Since the direction flag in the FLAGS register in interrupt (exception)
handlers is undetermined, cld instruction must be emitted in function
prologue if rep string instructions are used in interrupt (exception)
handler or interrupt (exception) handler isn't a leaf function.
