this cleans up what had become widespread direct inline use of "GNU C"
style attributes directly in the source, and lowers the barrier to
increased use of hidden visibility, which will be useful to recovering
some of the efficiency lost when the protected visibility hack was
dropped in commit dc2f368e565c37728b0d620380b849c3a1ddd78f, especially
on archs where the PLT ABI is costly.

ARMv6 cores with support for Thumb2 can take advantage of the "ldrex"
and "strex" based implementations of a_ll and a_sc.

__ARM_ARCH_6ZK__ is a gcc specific historical typo which may not be
defined by other compilers.
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-07/msg02237.html
To avoid unexpected results when building for ARMv6KZ with clang, the
correct form of the macro (ie 6KZ) needs to be tested. The incorrect
form of the macro (ie 6ZK) still needs to be tested for compatibility
with pre-2015 versions of gcc.

Provide an ARM specific a_ctz_32 helper function for architecture
versions for which it can be implemented efficiently via the "rbit"
instruction (ie all Thumb-2 capable versions of ARM v6 and above).

commit 06fbefd10046a0fae7e588b7c6d25fb51811b931 (first included in
release 1.1.17) introduced this regression.
patch by Adrian Bunk. it fixes the regression in all cases, but
spuriously prevents use of the clz instruction on very old compiler
versions that don't define __ARM_ARCH. this may be fixed in a more
general way at some point in the future. it also omits thumb1 logic
since building as thumb1 code is currently not supported.

counts leading zero bits of a 64bit int, undefined on zero input.
(has nothing to do with atomics, added to atomic.h so target specific
helper functions are together.)
there is a logarithmic generic implementation and another in terms of
a 32bit a_clz_32 on targets where that's available.

three problems are addressed:
- use of pc arithmetic, which was difficult if not impossible to make
correct in thumb mode on all models, so that relative rather than
absolute pointers to the backends could be used. this was designed
back when there was no coherent model for the early stages of the
dynamic linker before relocations, and is no longer necessary.
- assumption that data (the relative pointers to the backends) can be
accessed at a constant displacement from the code. this will not be
possible on future fdpic subarchs (for cortex-m), so move
responsibility for loading the backend code address to the caller.
- hard-coded arm opcodes using the .word directive. instead, use the
.arch directive to work around the assembler's refusal to assemble
instructions not available (or in some cases, available but just
considered deprecated) in the target isa level. the obscure v6t2
arch is used for v6 code so as to (1) allow generation of thumb2
output if -mthumb is active, and (2) avoid warnings/errors for mcr
barriers that clang would produce if we just set arch to v7-a.
in addition, the __aeabi_read_tp function is moved out of the inner
workings and implemented as an asm wrapper around a C function, so
that asm code does not need to read global data. the asm wrapper
serves to satisfy the ABI calling convention requirements for this
function.

"Q" input constraint was used for the written object, instead of "=Q"
output constraint. this should not cause problems because "memory"
is on the clobber list, but "=Q" better documents the intent and more
consistent with the actual asm code.
this changes the generated code, because different registers are used,
but other than the register names nothing should change.

contrary to commit 89e149d275a7699a4a5e4c98bab267648f64cbba, big
endian arm does need the instruction bytes in big endian order. rather
than trying to use a special encoding that works as arm or thumb,
simply encode the simplest/canonical undefined instructions dependent
on whether __thumb__ is defined.
|
|
the .byte directive encodes a guaranteed-undefined instruction, the
same one Linux fills the kuser helper page with when it's disabled.
the udf mnemonic and and .insn directives are not supported by old
binutils versions, and larger-than-byte integer directives would
produce the wrong output on big-endian.

switch to ll/sc model so that new atomic.h can provide optimized
versions of all the atomic primitives without needing an ll/sc loop
written in asm for each one.
all isa levels which use ldrex/strex now use the inline ll/sc model
even if the type of barrier to use is not known until runtime (v6).
the cas model is only used for arm v5 and earlier, and it has been
optimized to make the call via inline asm with custom constraints
rather than as a C function call.
|
|
rather than having each arch provide its own atomic.h, there is a new
shared atomic.h in src/internal which pulls arch-specific definitions
from arc/$(ARCH)/atomic_arch.h. the latter can be extremely minimal,
defining only a_cas or new ll/sc type primitives which the shared
atomic.h will use to construct everything else.
this commit avoids making heavy changes to the individual archs'
atomic implementations. definitions which are identical or
near-identical to what the new shared atomic.h would produce have been
removed, but otherwise the changes made are just hooking up the
arch-specific files to the new infrastructure. major changes to take
advantage of the new system will come in subsequent commits.
