[Clang][LoongArch] Add initial LoongArch target and driver support
ClosedPublic

Authored by SixWeining on Jul 21 2022, 5:16 AM.

Details

Summary

With the initial support added, clang can compile helloworld C
to executable file for loongarch64. For example:

$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
  printf("Hello, world!\n");
  return 0;
}
$ clang --target=loongarch64-unknown-linux-gnu --gcc-toolchain=xxx --sysroot=xxx hello.c

The output a.out can run within qemu or native machine. For example:

$ file ./a.out
./a.out: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, LoongArch, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-loongarch-lp64d.so.1, for GNU/Linux 5.19.0, with debug_info, not stripped
$ ./a.out
Hello, world!

Currently gcc toolchain and sysroot can be found here:
https://github.com/loongson/build-tools/releases/download/2022.08.11/loongarch64-clfs-5.1-cross-tools-gcc-glibc.tar.xz

Reference: https://github.com/loongson/LoongArch-Documentation
The last commit hash (main branch) is:
99016636af64d02dee05e39974d4c1e55875c45b

Note loongarch32 is not fully tested because there is no reference
gcc toolchain yet.

This looks great, thanks!

Exciting that we can finally go all the way from C source to LoongArch binary.

The changes look good to me, other than a few nits. But please wait for a day or two for other people to review on their own time.

nit: this should use setABI. Right now, there's no difference, but once the function does more (like setting other ABI flags), you won't need to change it here. Same for the 64-bit version.

please, split between pass and error by adding a new loongarch-abi-error.c and adding the error tests to it.

Thanks, Renato.

Because relocation hasn't been added to the backend, complex code (e.g. with function call) can't been compiled currently.
But at least, as you said, we finally go all the way from C source to LoongArch binary. This is a start and further implementation will be added later.

Use --target= for new tests. -target is a legacy syntax.

Just remove -no-canonical-prefixes and clang{{.*}} below. "-cc1" is sufficient to anchor a cc1 line.

Can be added before mips. Seems that some cases are unsorted. Just ignore them.

I don't know which of /lib64, /lib has been used. For purity, I'd hope that we just have /lib, no multilib style /lib64

Just add loongarch32 in this patch. It is trivial

clang/test/Driver/loongarch64-toolchain.c

Not using NEXT is somewhat brittle.

Perhaps add loongarch-toolchain.c instead. riscv*-toolchain.c are not good examples to follow. You may check out linux-cross.cpp

I also don't know the actual usage of /lib64 but I just tried and it works fine if I remove /lib64.

But I don't know how to handle loongarch32 because there isn't a loongarch32 gcc toolchain available yet.

I don't like lib64 too. But for LoongArch LP64D, the path to ELF interpreter is hard coded /lib64/ld-linux-loongarch-lp64d.so.1 and it seems too late to change it. And LoongArch GCC installs libstdc++ etc. for LP64D into $PREFIX/lib64 by default (like x86_64).

As a distro (LFS) maintainer: we are already hacking GCC code to get rid of /usr/lib64.

Thanks for the quick reply. So I should keep the /lib64 here?

I think you should keep it. A multilib distro may have /usr/lib64, /usr/lib32, and /usr/lib32sf (sf for soft float or whatever) and make /usr/lib a symlink. A "mostly 32-bit distro" may have symlink /usr/lib -> /usr/lib32, but still capable to build & run LA64 programs with libraries in /usr/lib64. Removing lib64 will break clang on such distros with -mabi=64.

Personally, I don't like lib64. But we can't really predict what the distro maintainers will do (unless you say something explicitly like "a LP64D capable distro SHALL have LP64D libraries in /usr/lib" in a spec).

keep /lib64

Dynamic loader selection is orthogonal to the LibDirs variable here. You can use /lib64/ld-linux-loongarch-lp64d.so.1 while the library paths are from /lib .

If anything, riscv multilib support is quite broken at this point so probably don't use it as a reference.
If there is ever a 32-bit distro which wants to do 64-bit compilation, you can leverage multiarch, which is less broken. https://maskray.me/blog/2021-03-28-compiler-driver-and-cross-compilation

FWIW this is actually beneficial for Gentoo (which consistently uses lib64 for its 64-bit-capable profiles since forever, at least for all of the 64-bit arches/profiles I have used). Otherwise the libdir is really more-or-less freely chosen. And I think most if not all distros already patch downstream for this libdir tweaking...

The ELF interpreter path is indeed hardcoded, and I'll admit I referred to many lib64-using precedents when reviewing the initial proposal. I think many ideas were thrown around and every of them was strictly better than the MIPS carryover /lib/ld.so.1 I think. That ship has long sailed though, and even a lib64 just for housing the symlink to the real ld.so seems okay to me.

So overall personally I don't feel this is too problematic; sorry if I sounded like a grumpy old guy defending his favorite /lib64 (and all its old split-usr glory ;-)

-triple . The CC1 option is a Separate (yes, inconsistent).

-triple= to -triple

Use -fsyntax-only; -check-prefix to --check-prefix.
