MIPS: LD/SD o32 macro GAS fix update
I am about to commit:
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2010-10/msg00033.html
that fixes a problem with the LD/SD macro currently implemented by GAS for
the o32 ABI in an inconsistent way. This is best illustrated with a
simple program, which I'm copying here from the message above for easier
reference:
$ cat ld.s
ld $5,32767($4)
ld $5,32768($4)
This gets assebled into the following output:
$ mips-linux-as -32 -mips3 -o ld.o ld.s
$ mips-linux-objdump -d ld.o
ld.o: file format elf32-tradbigmips
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <.text>:
0: dc857fff ld a1,32767(a0)
4: 3c010001 lui at,0x1
8: 00810821 addu at,a0,at
c: 8c258000 lw a1,-32768(at)
10: 8c268004 lw a2,-32764(at)
...
Oops!
The GAS fix makes the macro behave in a consistent way and pairs of LW/SW
instructions to be output as appropriate regardless of the size of the
offset associated with the address used. The machine instruction is still
available, but to reach it macros have to be disabled first. This has a
side effect of requiring the use of a machine-addressable memory operand.
As some platforms require 64-bit operations for accesses to some I/O
registers LD/SD instructions are used in a couple of places in Linux
regardless of the ABI selected. Here's a fix for some pieces of code
affected I've been able to track down. The fix should be backwards
compatible with all supported binutils releases in existence and can be
used as a reference for any other places or off-tree code. The use of the
"R" constraint guarantees a machine-addressable operand.
