Hi All,
This patch requires https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-06/msg01145.html to work,
it has been accepted once already but caused a regression on certain configuratoins.
I am re-submitting it with the required mid-end change and requesting a back-port.
--- original patch.
Taking the subreg of a vector mode on big-endian may result in an infinite
recursion and eventually a segfault once we run out of stack space.
As an example, taking a subreg of V4HF to SImode we end up in the following
loop on big-endian:
#861 0x00000000008462e9 in operand_subword_force src/gcc/gcc/emit-rtl.c:1787
#862 0x0000000000882a90 in emit_move_multi_word src/gcc/gcc/expr.c:3621
#863 0x000000000087eea1 in emit_move_insn_1 src/gcc/gcc/expr.c:3698
#864 0x000000000087f350 in emit_move_insn src/gcc/gcc/expr.c:3757
#865 0x000000000085e326 in copy_to_reg src/gcc/gcc/explow.c:603
#866 0x00000000008462e9 in operand_subword_force src/gcc/gcc/emit-rtl.c:1787
The reason is that operand_subword_force will always fail. When the value is in
a register that can't be accessed as a multi word the code tries to create a new
psuedo register and emit the value to it. Eventually you end up in simplify_gen_subreg
which calls validate_subreg.
validate_subreg will however always fail because of the REG_CAN_CHANGE_MODE_P check.
On little endian this check always returns true. On big-endian this check is supposed
to prevent values that have a size larger than word size, due to those being stored in
VFP registers.
However we are only interested in a subreg of the vector mode, so we should be checking
the unit size, not the size of the entire mode. Doing this fixes the problem.
Regtested on armeb-none-eabi and no regressions.
Bootstrapped on arm-none-linux-gnueabihf and no issues.
Ok for trunk? and for backport to GCC 8?
Thanks,
Tamar
