The linker needs to know whether a symbol is STT_FUNCTION when
deciding which farcall stub to emit (if needed), this patch adds this
to the FUNC_START macro which is used in crt0.
If a CPU implements EL2 as its highest exception level then programs
using newlib may start in hypervisor mode. In that state it is not
trivial to switch into the various EL1 modes to configure the
individual exception stacks, so do not try.
The libgloss port has been reaching back into newlib internals for a
single header whose contents have been frozen for almost a decade.
To break this backwards libgloss->newlib dependency, move the acle
header to the srcroot include/ so everyone can use the same copy.
Since no other port uses this custom libgloss multi-build.in logic,
and it's making things difficult to unify, drop it all. The set of
installed objects and their content should be the same.
There is a difference in the builds: currently we compile all the
objects in this subdir twice, but only a subset of them use a diff
set of flags, and are actually installed (the librdimon.a and its
objects). So this change speeds things up by removing the duplicate
compilation.
There is a short term cost in having to duplicate the compile rules
for the files that are different, but this is minor when compared to
being able to delete the unused multi-build logic (which we'll do in
a sep commit), and we'll be able to clean this up when we move the
code to unified automake.
None of this should be confused with the common multilib logic.
This is *multi-build* which is processed in parallel.
Now that we require Automake 1.15, we can use this macro rather than
set the tool up ourselves. The current code doesn't properly search
for a prefixed ar tool as-is.
The multi-build.in file in libgloss duplicates common multilib logic
in the root source tree. Document it a bit, and rename the rule so
it doesn't clash with the common multi-do rule. This will let us use
them in the same makefile so we can merge aarch64/ & arm/ up (as the
only targets that use this local multi-build.in atm).
When merging iq2000 up a level, it included a partial conversion to
AM_PROG_AS in the common directory. Finish it for all directories
to kill off the custom LIB_AM_PROG_AS which we no longer need since
we require Automake 1.15 now.
Now that we use AC_NO_EXECUTABLES, and we require a recent version of
autoconf, we don't need to define our own copies of these macros. So
switch to the standard AC_PROG_CC.
Remove dependency on __sdidinit member of struct _reent to check
object initialization. Like __sdidinit, the __cleanup member of
struct _reent is initialized in the __sinit() function. Checking
initialization against __cleanup serves the same purpose and will
reduce overhead in the __sfp() function in a follow up patch.
Commit 754f8def0d ("libgloss: merge stub
arch configure scripts up a level") had an unintended side-effect: the
MULTI* variables in the Makefiles no longer get rewritten at configure
time in the subdirs. Only the top-level Makefile still is. This is
because the configure integration of multilib (both the way libgloss
did it manually and the way AM_ENABLE_MULTILIB does it) only rewrites
"Makefile".
We could try propagating the MULTI* variables from libgloss/Makefile
down via FLAGS_TO_PASS, but this runs into a limitation: the multilib
logic uses this variable to switch from libgloss/ to each multilib
libgloss/, and libgloss uses this variable to enter subdirectories.
The latter we want, but the former ends up overridding the Makefile
environment. We could side-step that with some GNU Make directives,
but it feels like we're getting a bit too deep down the rabbit hole.
Instead, let's call config-ml.in ourselves for each subdir Makefile
that the top-level configure generates. This restores the previous
behavior and should be less risky in general.
This logic should be unnecessary when/if we switch libgloss over to
a non-recursive Automake build (since all build+install settings are
in the single libgloss/Makefile), but it'll be a while before we can
land that rework, so let's fix this up now.
The current libgloss multilib logic is almost exactly the same as the
config/multi.m4, and the differences should be minor, so switch over
to that to delete custom logic on ourside.
The insertions here look larger and that's because none of the scripts
were declaring --enable-multilib explicitly even though they checked the
flag and changed behavior.
Depending on the processing order of rules when installing in parallel,
these install rules might be processed before some other rule happens
to create the respective dirs. Make sure each one creates the needed
dirs before installing into them.

newlib: internalize HAVE_INITFINI_ARRAY
This define is only used by newlib internally, so stop exporting it
as HAVE_INITFINI_ARRAY since this can conflict with defines packages
use themselves.
We don't really need to add _ to HAVE_INIT_FINI too since it isn't
exported in newlib.h, but might as well be consistent here.
We can't (easily) add this to newlib_cflags like HAVE_INIT_FINI is
because this is based on a compile-time test in the top configure,
not on plain shell code in configure.host. We'd have to replicate
the test in every subdir in order to have it passed down.
The newlib & libgloss dirs are already generated using autoconf-2.69.
To avoid merging new code and/or accidental regeneration using diff
versions, leverage config/override.m4 to pin to 2.69 exactly. This
matches what gcc/binutils/gdb are already doing.
The README file already says to use autoconf-2.69.
To accomplish this, it's just as simple as adding -I flags to the
top-level config/ dir when running aclocal. This is because the
override.m4 file overrides AC_INIT to first require the specific
autoconf version before calling the real AC_INIT.
In order to transition to automake, we have to use hardcoded paths in
the AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR macro call (since automake evaluates the path
itself, and doesn't expand vars), so simplify all the calls here.
Regenerate the files using automake-1.15 & autoconf-2.69 to match the
binutils/gdb/gcc projects. Ran:
libgloss $ find -name configure.ac -printf '%h\n' | while read d; do
(cd $d; export WANT_AUTOCONF=2.69 WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.15;
aclocal-1.15 -I.. && autoconf-2.69); done
Most code in newlib already uses unified syntax, but just a couple of
laggards remain. This patch removes these and means the the entire
code base has now been converted.
Applied changes from commit 8d98f95:

Applied changes from commit 8d98f95:
Fixed semihosting for ARM when heapinfo not provided by debugger
SP initialization changes:
1. set default value in semihosting case as well
2. moved existing SP & SL init code for processor modes in separate routine and made it as "hook"
3. init SP for processor modes in Thumb mode as well
Add new macro FN_RETURN, FN_EH_START and FN_EH_END.
The code in trap.S is to support the old APCS chunked stack variant,
which dates back to the Acorn days, so put it under #ifndef
__ARM_EABI__.
* libgloss/arm/trap.S: Use __ARM_EABI rather than PREFER_THUMB.
* newlib/libc/sys/arm/trap.S: Use __ARM_EABI rather than
__thumb2__.
The M class cores don't support Semihosting v2 mixed mode, but we were
accidentally using the new immediates for it. My last patch changed the
immediates which broke the build because doing a full multi-lib build
including M architectures now results in an assembler error instead of
silently doing the wrong thing.
This fixes the issue by changing the defines around such that According
to the specs any M class build uses the normal semihosting instructions.
Regtested on arm-none-eabi and no issues, using a build with m class
multilibs too.
The Semihosting v2 protocol requires us to output the Armv8-a HLT instruction
when in mixed mode (SEMIHOST_V2_MIXED_MODE), however it also requires this to
be done for Armv7-a and earlier architectures.
The HLT instruction is defined in the undefined encoding space for older
architectures but simulators such as QEMU already trap on it [1] for all
architectures and is a requirement for semihosting v2 [2].
Unfortunately the GAS restricts the use of HLT to Armv8-a which requires us to
use the instruction encodings we want directly in crt0.
This patch does this, I have not updated newlib/libc/* as that is quite out of
date already. A proper sync is needed in order to get things back in sync.
A different patch for this would be best.

The _exit function currently passes -1 as a "sig" to the _kill function as an
invalid signal number so that _kill can distinguish between an abort and a
standard exit.
For boards using the SYS_EXIT_EXTENDED semi-hosting operation to return a
status code, this means that the "status" paramter to _exit is ignored and the
return code is always -1.
https://developer.arm.com/docs/100863/latest/semihosting-operations/sys_exit_extended-0x20
This patch puts shared code between _kill and _exit into a new function
_kill_shared that takes the semi-hosting "reason" to use (if semi-hosting is
available) as an argument.
For semi-hosting _kill_shared provides that "reason".
Without the "sig" argument being used to distinguish between a normal and
abnormal exit, the _exit function can provide the return code to be used if the
SYS_EXIT_EXTENDED operation is available.
Hence the exit code can be returned.
AngelSWI_Reason_ReportException does not return accoring to the ARM
documentation, so it is valid to mark _kill() as noreturn. This way,
the compiler does not warn about _exit() returning a value despite
being noreturn.

* libgloss/arm/_exit.c (_exit): Declare _kill() as noreturn.
* libgloss/arm/_exit.c (_kill): Likewise. Remove the return
statements.
* newlib/libc/sys/arm/syscalls.c (_kill): Likewise..
The current SYS_EXIT has a bug that when making the call it always uses
the v2 calling convention. This is undefined behavior according to the
semihosting specification:
https://developer.arm.com/docs/100863/latest/semihosting-operations/sys_exit-0x18
This patch fixes it by making sure v1 passes the argument directly in the register instead
of in a block. And for v2 it does the same if the v2 extension isn't supported.

This uses the new recursive build target in multi-build.in
The new spec files are:
For AArch32/ARM (m for mixed mode):
- rdimon-v2m.specs
- aprofile-validation-v2m.specs
- aprofile-ve-v2m.specs
These spec files will be using the new libraries generated
by multi-build.in.

When simulating arm code, the target program startup code (crt0) uses
semihosting invocations to get the command line from the simulator. The
simulator returns the command line and its size into the area passed in
parameter. (ARM 32-bit specifications :
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.dui0058d/DUI0058.pdf
chapter "5.4.19 SYS_GET_CMDLINE").
The memory area pointed by the semihosting register argument is located
in .text section (usually not writtable (RX)).
If we run this code on a simulator that respects this rights properties
(qemu user-mode for instance), the command line will not be written to
the .text program memory, in particular the length of the string. The
program runs with an empty command line. This problem hasn't been seen
earlier probably because qemu user-mode is not so much used, but this can
happen with another simulator that refuse to write in a read-only segment.
With this modification, the command line can be correctly passed to the
target program.
Changes:
- libgloss/arm/crt0.S : Arguments passed to the AngelSWI_Reason_GetCmdLine
semihosting invocation are placed into .data section instead of .text
- libgloss/aarch64/crt0.S : Idem for aarch64 AngelSVC_Reason_GetCmdLine
semihosting.
ARM EABI toolchains can optionally use the "hf" suffix to identify
hardware floating point support. Use the "*-*-eabi*" pattern to match
these toolchains.

The changes in af272aca59 only works when
using gcc/g++ with -E or -save-temps, otherwise newlib's newlib.h gets
used even if -specs=nano.specs is specified. This is because the driver
only use cpp_options spec for the external cpp tool, not for the
integrated one.
This patch uses instead cpp_unique_options which is used in all cases:
it is used directly when the integrated preprocessor is used, and
indirectly by expansion of cpp_options otherwise.
Hi,
The changes in c028685518 to use
newlib-nano's include directory work for cc1 but not cc1plus. cc1plus
comes with its own cpp spec which does not have a name attached to it.
This patch uses the renaming trick on cpp_options instead of cpp, as
cpp_options is used both by cc1 and cc1plus.
While running tests on internal systems, we identified an issue in the
startup code for newlib on AArch32 systems with Multiprocessor
Extensions to the architecture.
The issue is we were configuring page table flags to be Inner
cacheable/Outer non-cacheable, while for at least architectures with
Multiprocessor Extension, we'd configure it to Inner/Outer write-back, no
write-allocate, and cacheable.
The attached patch fixes this, and no regression on arm-none-eabi
bare-metal tests.
Adopted suggestion given by Richard offline to avoid using jump.
