Re: [GCC, ARM] armv8 linux toolchain asan testcase fail due to stl missing conditional code


Hi, Kyrill

I update the patch as Richard's suggestion.

-      return \"str<sync_sfx>\t%1, %0\";
+      return \"str%(<sync_sfx>%)\t%1, %0\";
     else
-      return \"stl<sync_sfx>\t%1, %0\";
+      return \"stl<sync_sfx>%?\t%1, %0\";
   }
-)
+  [(set_attr "predicable" "yes")
+   (set_attr "predicable_short_it" "no")])
+  [(set_attr "predicable" "yes")
+   (set_attr "predicable_short_it" "no")])


Let me sum up.

We add predicable attribute to allow gcc do if-conversion in
ce1/ce2/ce3 not only in final phase by final_prescan_insn finite state
machine.

We set predicalble_short_it to "no" to restrict conditional code
generation on armv8 with thumb mode.

However, we could use the flags -mno-restrict-it to force generating
conditional code on thumb mode.

Therefore, we have to consider the assembly output format for strb
with condition code on arm/thumb mode.

Because arm/thumb mode use different syntax for strb,
we output the assembly as str%(<sync_sfx>%)
which will put the condition code in the right place according to
TARGET_UNIFIED_ASM.

Is there still missing something ?

Thanks,

Shiva
