The following testcase
function: .Lpcrel_label1: auipc a0, %pcrel_hi(other_function) addi a1, a0, %pcrel_lo(.Lpcrel_label1) .p2align 2 # Causes a new fragment to be emitted .type other_function,@function other_function: ret
exposes an odd behaviour in which only the %pcrel_hi relocation is evaluated but not the %pcrel_lo.
$ ./bin/llvm-mc -triple riscv64 -filetype obj t.s | ./bin/llvm-objdump -d -r - <stdin>: file format ELF64-riscv Disassembly of section .text: 0000000000000000 function: 0: 17 05 00 00 auipc a0, 0 4: 93 05 05 00 mv a1, a0 0000000000000004: R_RISCV_PCREL_LO12_I other_function+4 0000000000000008 other_function: 8: 67 80 00 00 ret
The reason seems to be that in RISCVAsmBackend::shouldForceRelocation we only consider the fragment but in RISCVMCExpr::evaluatePCRelLo we consider the section. This usually works but there are cases where the section may still be the same but the fragment may be another one. In that case we end forcing a %pcrel_lo relocation without any %pcrel_hi.
This patch makes RISCVAsmBackend::shouldForceRelocation use the section, if any, to determine if the relocation must be forced or not.
This issue seems related to D57240.
Is it even possible to not have a valid FixupFragment? Isn't that effectively how we found T in the first place in getPCRelHiFixup?
