[ELF][MIPS] MIPS .reginfo sections handling
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

MIPS .reginfo section provides information on the registers used by the code in the object file. Linker should collect this information and write a single .reginfo section in the output file. This section contains a union of used registers masks taken from input .reginfo sections and final value of the _gp symbol.

For details see the "Register Information" section in Chapter 4 in the following document:
ftp://www.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/doc/ABI/mipsabi.pdf

The patch implements .reginfo sections handling with a couple missed features: a) it does not put output .reginfo section into the separate REGINFO segment; b) it does not merge ri_cprmask masks from input section. These features will be implemented later.

error() is a _NoReturn function, so you don't need this return 0.

I think this is a good place to write about MIPS Reginfo as you wrote in the patch description.

Can you move this just below the above typedef?

  • Remove return after NoReturn function
  • Keep typedefs in a single code block
  • Rewrite comment for the MipsReginfoInputSection class
