- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
Hi,
When expanding __atomic_thread_fence(x) to RTL, the i386 backend doesn't emit
any instruction except for x==__ATOMIC_SEQ_CST (which emits 'mfence'). This
is incorrect: although no machine barrier is needed, the compiler still must
emit a compiler barrier into the IR to prevent propagation and code motion
across the fence. The testcase added with the patch shows how it can lead
to a miscompilation.
The proposed patch fixes it by handling non-seq-cst fences exactly like
__atomic_signal_fence is expanded, by emitting asm volatile("":::"memory").
The s390 backend uses the a similar mem_thread_fence expansion, so the patch
fixes both backends in the same manner.
Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64; also checked that s390-linux cc1
successfully builds after the change. OK for trunk?
(the original source code in the PR was misusing atomic fences by doing
something like
void f(int *p)
{
while (*p)
__atomic_thread_fence(__ATOMIC_ACQUIRE);
}
but since *p is not atomic, a concurrent write to *p would cause a data race and
thus invoke undefined behavior; also, if *p is false prior to entering the loop,
execution does not encounter the fence; new test here has code usable without UB)
Alexander
* config/i386/sync.md (mem_thread_fence): Emit a compiler barrier for
non-seq-cst fences. Adjust comment.
* config/s390/s390.md (mem_thread_fence): Likewise.
* optabs.c (expand_asm_memory_barrier): Export.
* optabs.h (expand_asm_memory_barrier): Declare.
testsuite/
* gcc.target/i386/pr80640-1.c: New testcase.
