Bug #: 50065
Summary: -Os, -O2, -O3 optimization breaks LD/ST ordering on
32-bit SPARC
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: c
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: tanzhangxi@gmail.com
Considering the following C code.
static inline int spinlock_trylock(char* lock)
{
int reg;
__asm__ __volatile__ ("ldstub [%1],%0" : "=r"(reg) : "r"(lock) : "memory",
"cc");
return reg;
}
static inline int spinlock_is_locked(char* lock)
{
int reg;
__asm__ __volatile__ ("ldub [%1],%0" : "=r"(reg) : "r"(lock) : "memory");
return reg;
}
static inline void spinlock_lock(char* lock)
{
while(spinlock_trylock(lock))
while(spinlock_is_locked(lock));
}
static inline void spinlock_unlock(char* lock)
{
*(volatile unsigned char*)lock = 0;
}
char remap_lock;
int remap_barrier;
void inc_remap_barrier()
{
spinlock_lock(&remap_lock);
remap_barrier++;
spinlock_unlock(&remap_lock);
}
A simple ++ counter is protected by a spinlock implemented with the ldstub
atomic instruction on SPARC.
If I use -Os/-O2/-O3 to optimize the code, e.g.
sparc-ramp-gcc -c -Os test.c -o test.o
gcc will generate the following code
00000000 <inc_remap_barrier>:
0: 03 00 00 00 sethi %hi(0), %g1
4: 10 80 00 06 b 1c <inc_remap_barrier+0x1c>
8: 82 10 60 00 mov %g1, %g1 ! 0 <inc_remap_barrier>
c: c4 08 40 00 ldub [ %g1 ], %g2
10: 80 a0 a0 00 cmp %g2, 0
14: 12 bf ff fe bne c <inc_remap_barrier+0xc>
18: 01 00 00 00 nop
1c: c4 68 40 00 ldstub [ %g1 ], %g2
20: 80 a0 a0 00 cmp %g2, 0
24: 12 bf ff fa bne c <inc_remap_barrier+0xc>
28: 05 00 00 00 sethi %hi(0), %g2
2c: c0 28 40 00 clrb [ %g1 ]
30: c6 00 a0 00 ld [ %g2 ], %g3
34: 86 00 e0 01 inc %g3
38: 81 c3 e0 08 retl
3c: c6 20 a0 00 st %g3, [ %g2 ]
instruction 2C, clrb [%g1] corresponds to inline function 'spinlock_unlock'
*(volatile unsigned char*)lock = 0;
This happens before the lock protected content 'remap_barrier++', i.e.
30: c6 00 a0 00 ld [ %g2 ], %g3
34: 86 00 e0 01 inc %g3
38: 81 c3 e0 08 retl
3c: c6 20 a0 00 st %g3, [ %g2 ] ---> use the branch delay slot
This is wrong and will cause serious lock issues under a multithreading
environment.
However, the same code works fine with -O1 and -O0
This problem happens with couple of cross GCC builds (4.3.2 / 4.6.1) at our
side with various configurations (with glibc or a bare metal setting).
It breaks with the following configurations:
