RT library detection and check for outline atomics support added to the driver.

You said Android is planning to adopt this. Do you know how? I thought they had their own libc; does it also implement getauxval, or do they have a separate compiler-rt, or something entirely different?

Android uses compiler-rt and has getauxval support: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/master/libc/bionic/getauxval.cpp

There would need to be more checks in the CompilerRT case because most platforms won't benefit. There's already Clang logic to discover GCC installations (search for GCCInstallationDetector); I hope you'll be able to use that instead of trying to redo it.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try to utilize it.

I think this ought to be a Clang patch that detects which platform and libgcc it's targeting before adding the attribute.

Do you mean implement in Cland Driver something like:

Outline atomics were added with gcc 9.3.1 and turned on by default in gcc 10.1. Consequently most of distributions had libgcc with outline atomics already.
Besides Linux, Android will utilize them as well. Don't know about iOs and MacOs, I guess they are compiling with LSE enabled, so outline atomics should not affect them.
As for benchmarks, I rely on investigations completed during gcc outline atomics enablement work.
Choice of solution ../gcc/libgcc/config/aarch64/lse.S:

Thanks for fixing this.

lse.S syntax fixed, compiler-rt with outline atomics should be built fine. If there are no any other issues can we abandon this patch?

It'd be great if you could figure out a way to have the macro expand in a way that doesn't hit the assembly parser bug.

@ilinpv D92530 helped, but CFI start and end directives still seem to cause problems. Any ideas?

@ilinpv Any ideas why the Apple buildbots might be failing (example)? The errrors seem to be about explicit relocation types missing, but I can't see anything in my changes that could've caused those.

Fix for lse.S is not landed yet: https://reviews.llvm.org/D92530

Any reason for that to not have landed yet? If not, I could probably land that prior to recommiting mine.

I guess because of patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D92836 removing outline atomics for Apple.
Anyway it would be great to have Apple syntax fix landed, thank you for help.

Thanks for fix, creating symlinks is more elegant and firm solution indeed.

lse.S syntax could be fixed: https://reviews.llvm.org/D92530
The question is, should outline atomics be in compiler-rt for iOS and ARM-based macOS?

LGTM. Thanks!

This broke building for non-ELF targets, I'll send a patch for fixing that.

Also, I see that this wasn't actually sent to any mailing list - I guess we should have some list auto-added for anything touching compiler-rt?

Thank you, does anyone have any more concerns? Could you accept revision?

Correct getauxval check.

Comments were taken into account.

LCALL4 removed in TargetLoweringBase.

Have you got any further comments?

Work on comments has been done.

Need to resolve license issue first.

This is a port of libgcc implementation

I take it the licensing stuff all works out because Linaro is the original author and you're working with them?
