- Subject: [committed] Fix PIC regression with pointer-to-member functions on s390x
Hello,
this fixes a bug where GCC would generate a call to a non-local function
without going via the PLT although -fPIC was given. The problem was that
the call insn would accept any (call (symbol_ref)) pattern, even if the
symbol_ref in question was non-local and flag_pic was true.
This doesn't usually show up as a problem, since the call expander always
replaces the symbol_ref by an unspec construction used to represent the
PLT call. However, in a particular case involving C++ pointer-to-member
functions, the problem would show up. The test case below is a reduction
of a real-world application involving the STL library.
With pointer-to-member function pointers, the front-end would generate
code that loads the value of the pointer into an integral variable and
test the low bit. To do so in the -fPIC case, the back-end generates
a load from a GOT slot. That load instruction gets marked with an
REG_EQUAL note carrying the original SYMBOL_REF.
Now, later on the code actually *calls* the function via the pointer
read from the GOT. Due to some optimizations in the mean time, combine
is able to notice that the instruction loading that pointer value carries
a REG_EQUAL note, and attempts to insert that value into the call
instruction. Due to the bug in the predicate, this succecces, and the
indirect call instruction is transformed into a direct call to the
original SYMBOL_REF, without going via the PLT.
The patch below fixes the problem by making the predicate refuse non-
local function symbols if flag_pic is true.
Bootstrapped/regtested on s390-ibm-linux and s390x-ibm-linux on
mainline, 4.2 branch, and 4.1 branch. Committed to all three branches.
Bye,
Ulrich
ChangeLog:
* config/s390/predicates.md ("bras_sym_operand"): Do not accept
nonlocal function symbols if flag_pic.
testsuite/ChangeLog:
* g++.dg/other/s390-1.C: New testcase.
