Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Work around gcc miscompilation of __pa() on 64-bit
Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2013 16:07:49 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130827060749.GA16462@drongo> (raw)
On 64-bit, __pa(&static_var) gets miscompiled by recent versions of
gcc as something like:
addis 3,2,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@ha
addi 3,3,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@l
This ends up effectively ignoring the offset, since its bottom 32 bits
are zero, and means that the result of __pa() still has 0xC in the top
nibble. This happens with gcc 4.8.1, at least.
To work around this, for 64-bit we make __pa() use an AND operator,
and for symmetry, we make __va() use an OR operator. Using an AND
operator rather than a subtraction ends up with slightly shorter code
since it can be done with a single clrldi instruction, whereas it
takes three instructions to form the constant (-PAGE_OFFSET) and add
it on. (Note that MEMORY_START is always 0 on 64-bit.)
