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.
Environ is defined in libgloss and libc:
- libgloss/or1k/syscalls.c
- libc/stdlib/environ.c
When linking we sometimes get errors:

This doesnt happen after the fix. Basic things build fine too.
There was an issue revealed in gdb testing where C++ virtual tables
were not getting properly initialized. This seems to be due to the
c++ global constructors moving from ctors to init_array.
This fix makes sure we call the proper method for initializing the
constructors in all places.
or1k uses reentrant calls by default, but there was no open_r defined
which caused failure in C++/C code such as:
int main() { std::cout << "test\n"; return 0; }
or
int main() {open(".", 0);}
After a binutils change "a while ago" (2015-12) to default to
--enable-initfini-array, i.e. to merge .ctors and .dtors into
.init_array and .fini_array, this is needed for cdtors to run at all.
Based on what goes on in arm/ and aarch64/. Tested for cris-elf by
running the gcc testsuite.
By the way, the configure test doesn't detect this change, so the
HAVE_INITFINI_ARRAY ifdeffery is somewhat redundant. Still, the
change is tested to be safe with older binutils too.
libgloss/
* cris/crt0.S, cris/lcrt0.c: Include newlib.h.
[HAVE_INITFINI_ARRAY] (_init): Define to __libc_init_array.
[HAVE_INITFINI_ARRAY] (_fini): Ditto __libc_fini_array.
HTML build fails with makeinfo 5.2 with the following error:
libgloss/doc/porting.texi:73: @menu seen before first @node
libgloss/doc/porting.texi:73: perhaps your @top node should be wrapped in
@ifnottex rather than @ifinfo?
Following the advice indeed solve the issue while still allowing pdf, dvi and
info builds to work.
ARCompact processors (ARC 600 and ARC 700) require three "nop"s after the
"flag 1" instruction. Later ARC processors do not have this requirement, so
it is possible to reduce size of "_exit_halt" for them.
libgloss/
2016-05-24 Anton Kolesov <Anton.Kolesov@synopsys.com>
* arc/crt0.S (_exit_halt): Insert nops only for ARCompact.
Initially crt0.S used a special function, declared as weak as a default
exception handler in interrupt vector table. To let user override individual
handlers, this function had multiple names - one for each IVT entry, which,
however, was terribly confusing for the debugger and user - because it
wasn't clear which symbol will be used as a function name in debugger.
Defining multiple separate functions - one for each handler, would resolve
the mess, but would increase code size of crt0.o.
To clean this up, this patch defines exception handlers as weak symbols as
well, but those are defined as just symbols, not functions, hence there
would be less confusion over what is what. At the same time, users still can
redefine exception handlers symbol by creating functions with respective
names.

2016-05-24 Anton Kolesov <Anton.Kolesov@synopsys.com>
* arc/crt0.S: Convert memory_error and friends to non-function
symbols.
crt0.S for ARC used to use instruction "asr.f lp_count, r3, 2" for all cores
except ARC601. However instructions which shift more than 1 bit are
optional, so this crt0.S didn't worked for all ARC cores.
Luckily this is a shift just by 2 bits on all occassions, so fix is trivial
- use two single-bit shifts.

* arc/crt0.S: Fix support for processors without barrel-shifter.
Signed-off-by: Anton Kolesov <Anton.Kolesov@synopsys.com>
This is similar to commit 06537f05d4 to the
newlib for ARC.
GCC for ARC has been updated to provide consistent naming of preprocessor
definitions for different optional architecture features:
* __ARC_BARREL_SHIFTER__ instead of __Xbarrel_shifter for
-mbarrel-shifter
* __ARCEM__ instead of __EM__ for ARC EM cores
* __ARCHS__ instead of __HS__ for ARC HS cores
* etc (not used in libgloss)
This patch updates crt0.S for ARC to use new definitions instead of a
deprecated ones. To ensure compatibility with older compiler new definitions
are also defined in crt0.S if needed, based on presence of deprecated
preprocessor definitions.
libgloss/ChangeLog
2016-04-29 Anton Kolesov <Anton.Kolesov@synopsys.com>

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.
libgloss/
* arm/cpu-init/rdimon-aem.S: Set TTBR0 to inner/outer
cacheable WB, and no allocate on WB for arch with multiprocessor
extension.
Change the type of the stack pointers to enable pointer calculations at byte
granularity, which is needed for the calculation of _or1k_stack_core[c] and

_or1k_exception_stack_size. (util.c:53-54)

The file libgloss/rl78/write.c currently contains code which outputs
\r when \n is seen. The code will then output the \n as well.
This patch removes the bit of code that tests for \n and then outputs
\r.
I made this change to fix some failures in gdb.base/call-ar-st.exp. In
that test, I see two carriage returns followed by a newline. One CR is
output by the libgloss code. The other is output by the terminal driver.
The total list of failures fixed (using the default rl78 multilib) are:

There are no regressions.
libgloss/ChangeLog:
* rl78/write.c (_write): Don't output CR when LF is encountered.
Allow exceptions to be nested, which is especially useful with urgent
interrupts while processing an exception.
The implementation counts up the nesting level with each call to an
exception. In the outer exception (level 1), the exception stack is
started. All nested exceptions just reserve the redzone (scratch
memory that may be used by compiler) and exception context on the
stack, but then process on the same scratch.
Restriction: Impure pointers are shared among all exceptions. This may
be solved by creating an impure data structure in the stack frame with
each nested exception.
* or1k/crt0.S: Add exception nesting
* or1k/exceptions-asm.S: ditto
* or1k/util.c: ditto
- With the gzll kernel we have two different loading options:
- If the image is loaded to the global memory, the bootstrapping
loads the kernel to local memory. Applications are loaded on
demand. The heap then starts right after bss.
- If the image is pre-loaded to the local memory it includes the
application binaries right after bss. The heap then starts after
the application objects.
- We can check if this is a gzll kernel as it has the string "gzll" at
0x2000. At 0x200c we then find the end of the application objects in
the image. If there is no global memory we set _or1k_heap_start to
this value.
* or1k/boards/optimsoc.S: Heap for gzll kernel
- Previously the heap started right after the bss section. This can now
be configured by changing the _or1k_heap_start symbol that defaults to
the old value (&end). In board_init_early, we can now set this to
another value.
* or1k/sbrk.c: Allow for different heap start
