[RISCV 10/10] Add common fixups and relocations
ClosedPublic

Authored by asb on Aug 16 2016, 8:47 AM.

Details

Summary

%lo(), %hi(), and %pcrel_hi() are supported and test cases have been added to ensure the appropriate fixups and relocations are generated. I've added an instruction format field which is used in RISCVMCCodeEmitter to, for instance, tell whether it should emit a lo12_i fixup or a lo12_s fixup (RISC-V has two 12-bit immediate encodings depending on the instruction type).

Additionally, fixups and relocations in jal and branch instructions are supported.

I actually tried a couple ways of handling this and decided that introspecting the instruction format in RISCVMCCodeEmitter ended up cleanest. I'd be happy to hear any other suggestions though.

This completes the first batch of patches.

@theraven @jyknight What's the state of this change?

The patch looks fine to me, but I thought it was waiting on the RISC-V ABI document discussing relocation in more detail than 'go see what binutils does'.

@theraven @jyknight What's the state of this change?

There has been progress on documenting aspects of the RISC-V ABI, though I decided to hold off on pushing for finalising the second half of my initial patchset due to concerns some parts of it may change with the addition of codegen support. I've lost more time than I expected to due to travel, other development responsibilities, and trying to secure further funding so I'm a little behind where I expected to be in terms of the codegen patches but I will put them up for review either over the weekend or next week, and also refresh these patches.

This refresh adds support for relocations and fixups on branch and jal instructions. This is sufficient for compiling simple programs.

The intent is this patch is now ready for merging.

Here's the same patch as before with full context, apologies for the noise.

asb updated this revision to Diff 110344.Aug 9 2017, 3:54 AM

This updated version of the patch reflects upstream changes to arguments of applyFixup, and takes advantage of my work in rL299529 to report errors for out-of-range or insufficiently aligned fixups.

This would be more clear as:

// It's a simple symbol reference with no addend.
if (isa<MCSymbolRefExpr>(Expr))
  return true;
564

Is it your intention to return true with Kind equal to RISCVMCExpr::VK_RISCV_Invalid?

586

Didn't your just isa<>? I think this can be cast<>.

It's not, good catch. Initialising Kind to RISCVMCExpr::VK_RISCV_None seems to be the correct thing to do.

586

I think this is the first time we check for MCConstantExpr. Unless I'm misunderstanding you, I don't think this has to be a dyn_cast

Do you need this cast here? You save a similar switch in RISCVAsmBackend without one

Nitpick: The double nesting and duplicating of the unreachable isn't that intuitive - we might be able to simplify the control flow by initialising FixupKind to a sentinel value, dropping both else { unreachable } blocks, and then just placing a if (FixupKind == sentinel) { unreachable }

The cast is needed to avoid a warning "case value not in enumerated type 'llvm::MCFixupKind'".

No else after return

183

Can we factor any code out from both isSImm13Lsb0 and the other signed immediated lsb functions? It seems like the only difference in these functions are the sizes of the immediates

If the same could be done for the UImm functions, that'd be good, although a quick glance shows that there is some differing logic based on the variant

Is there a reason why this is only executed for RISCVMCExpr objects? AFAIK, evaluateAsConstant is also supported by MCExpr, and so I'm not sure if you're intentionally not evaluating those expressions here.

477

Should this be getIdentifier()?

It seems strange that you'd verify that the token is an identifier in the above if, but then read a string instead.

I don't think we want a full stop here because it might muck up the output of llc --stats, or at least make it look funny

Thanks for the comments Dylan. Playing around with this, I've noticed that the MC assembler is too accepting of some inputs (e.g. accepting addi a1, a2, %hi(foo) where gas would reject it). I'm fixing this and expanding tests now, which will change many of the isFoo functions anyway. I'll watch for the else after return thing. I personally don't find that guideline very compelling for else if cases where removing the else fails to reduce indentation, but I shall of course conform with LLVM norms :)

The last patch update didn't have full context included - sorry for that.

dylanmckay edited edge metadata.Aug 23 2017, 4:51 AM

No problem, I remember it being quite hard to merge my own backend in-tree due to reviewers being scarce, thought I might as well help out :)

I can definitely understand that, at first I thought that the no else after return rule only applied to else, but I checked before this review and was surprised as well.

No problem - that reminds me that I just made the same mistake on a patchset I just created!

Previous versions of this patch were too accepting of invalid inputs, e.g. accepting addi a0, a0, %hi(1). Previously there was logic that would try to evaluate a RISCVMCExpr as a constant in createImm (i.e. as early as possible). This throws away information about any operand modifier that was parsed. Therefore, move to evaluating the constant in in the isFoo() predicate arguments, which also checks whether any operand modifiers were allowed. rv32i-invalid.s has been expanded to systematically test these issues. As suggested by Dylan, I've also added a helper function to factor out the commonality between the isSImmNNLsb0 functions.

Just spotted a minor issue. RISCVMCExpr::getVariantKindForName would be better returning VK_RISCV_Invalid if the name is unrecognised rather htna VK_RISCV_None. Updated diff fixes this.

Do we really need to use another variable Idx? Can't we simply use i?

Default should be the first case in a switch.

I think this is problematic, fixup_riscv_lo12_i is only used for S instruction format in RISCV. I think this should be
if (MIFrom == RISCVII::InstFormatI) {

FixUpKind = RISCV::fixup_riscv_lo12_i;

} else if (RISCVII::InstFormatS) {
FixUpKind = RISCV::fixup_riscv_lo12_s;
} else {

llvm_unreacable("unexpected Instructio type for relocation  FixUpKind = RISCV::fixup_riscv_lo12_i");

}

Other wise you'll mistakenly end up generating instructions instructions with wrong fixup kinds!

correction: *fixup_riscv_lo12_s* is only used for S instruction format in RISCV.

You're right this code path isn't written very defensively, and it may start to fail if VK_RISCV_LO is used with different instruction formats. I've addressed this in rL325775. Thanks for spotting this.
