From 0b1674638a5c69cbace63278625c199100955490 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2020 11:23:39 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: assembler: introduce adr_l, ldr_l and str_l macros Like arm64, ARM supports position independent code sequences that produce symbol references with a greater reach than the ordinary adr/ldr instructions. Since on ARM, the adrl pseudo-instruction is only supported in ARM mode (and not at all when using Clang), having a adr_l macro like we do on arm64 is useful, and increases symmetry as well. Currently, we use open coded instruction sequences involving literals and arithmetic operations. Instead, we can use movw/movt pairs on v7 CPUs, circumventing the D-cache entirely. E.g., on v7+ CPUs, we can emit a PC-relative reference as follows: movw , #:lower16: - (1f + 8) movt , #:upper16: - (1f + 8) 1: add , , pc For older CPUs, we can emit the literal into a subsection, allowing it to be emitted out of line while retaining the ability to perform arithmetic on label offsets. E.g., on pre-v7 CPUs, we can emit a PC-relative reference as follows: ldr , 2f 1: add , , pc .subsection 1 2: .long - (1b + 8) .previous This is allowed by the assembler because, unlike ordinary sections, subsections are combined into a single section in the object file, and so the label references are not true cross-section references that are visible as relocations. (Subsections have been available in binutils since 2004 at least, so they should not cause any issues with older toolchains.) So use the above to implement the macros mov_l, adr_l, ldr_l and str_l, all of which will use movw/movt pairs on v7 and later CPUs, and use PC-relative literals otherwise.
