* PowerPC64 ELFv2 ABI 4/6: Stack frame layout changesUlrich Weigand2013-12-041-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates glibc for the changes in the ELFv2 relating to the stack frame layout. These are described in more detail here: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01149.html http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01146.html Specifically, the "compiler and linker doublewords" were removed, which has the effect that the save slot for the TOC register is now at offset 24 rather than 40 to the stack pointer. In addition, a function may now no longer necessarily assume that its caller has set up a 64-byte register save area its use. To address the first change, the patch goes through all assembler files and replaces immediate offsets in instructions accessing the ABI-defined stack slots by symbolic offsets. Those already were defined in ucontext_i.sym and used in some of the context routines, but that doesn't really seem like the right place for those defines. The patch instead defines those symbolic offsets in sysdeps.h, in two variants for the old and new ABI, and uses them systematically in all assembler files, not just the context routines. The second change only affected a few assembler files that used the save area to temporarily store some registers. In those cases where this happens within a leaf function, this patch changes the code to store those registers to the "red zone" below the stack pointer. Otherwise, the functions already allocate a stack frame, and the patch changes them to add extra space in these frames as temporary space for the ELFv2 ABI.
* PowerPC64 ELFv2 ABI 2/6: Remove function descriptorsUlrich Weigand2013-12-041-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for the ELFv2 ABI feature to remove function descriptors. See this GCC patch for in-depth discussion: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-11/msg01141.html This mostly involves two types of changes: updating assembler source files to the new logic, and updating the dynamic loader. After the refactoring in the previous patch, most of the assembler source changes can be handled simply by providing ELFv2 versions of the macros in sysdep.h. One somewhat non-obvious change is in __GI__setjmp: this used to "fall through" to the immediately following __setjmp ENTRY point. This is no longer safe in the ELFv2 since ENTRY defines both a global and a local entry point, and you cannot simply fall through to a global entry point as it requires r12 to be set up. Also, makecontext needs to be updated to set up registers according to the new ABI for calling into the context's start routine. The dynamic linker changes mostly consist of removing special code to handle function descriptors. We also need to support the new PLT and glink format used by the the ELFv2 linker, see: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-10/msg00376.html In addition, the dynamic linker now verifies that the dynamic libraries it loads match its own ABI. The hack in VDSO_IFUNC_RET to "synthesize" a function descriptor for vDSO routines is also no longer necessary for ELFv2.
* PowerPC64 ELFv2 ABI 1/6: Code refactoringUlrich Weigand2013-12-041-22/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the first patch to support the new ELFv2 ABI in glibc. As preparation, this patch simply refactors some of the powerpc64 assembler code to move all code related to creating function descriptors (.opd section) or using function descriptors (function pointer call) into a central place in sysdep.h. Note that most locations creating .opd entries were already using macros in sysdep.h, this patch simply extends this to the remaining places. No relevant change in generated code expected.
