| 2010-02-03 | Add a new option to the mips64 gas, -mfix-loongson2f-btb. This option | 1 | -0/+4 | ||
| is intended to be used when compiling kernel code which will run on a Loongson 2E or 2F processor, and inserts an explicit BTB clear operation before every jump through a register (jr or jalr instructions), unless that register is k0 or k1, or we are in .set noat. This is a reliable, although aggressive, workaround for the misbehaviour of the branch prediction engine of many Loongson 2F processors with regard to the Branch Translation Buffer, for which an official errata has yet to be published, and for which the Loongson suggested workaround apparently only works due to pipeline side effects, but requires all the executable kernel code to be located in CKSEG0/CKSEG1. These changes are inspired by a backport of the Loongson binutils 2.19 patch to binutils 2.18; the idea of doing an aggressive BTB clear is mine. This causes no functional change to code compiled without the -mfix-loongson2f-btb option. ``looks reasonable'' kettenis@ | |||||
| 2004-11-02 | Merge conflicts, bringing our changes back in: | 1 | -4/+28 | ||
| - extra $(SHELL) and sugar for make (so that files not mode +x still work) - safer temp file handling - our W^X binary layout changes in ld - OpenBSD policy for library file selection in ld - arm and m88k changes which were not merged in time for official 2.15 - bfd core file handling - a couple typos New for 2.15: - ld(1) and as(1) manpages now generated at build time - binutils/stabs.c reverted to use our in-tree libiberty for now - we still use our VIA C3 crypto code over stock binutils, as it recognizes more instructions - new emulations for OpenBSD on mips64 machines, to help OpenBSD/sgi - relaxed %f# handling in gas on OpenBSD/sparc64 (same as was in 2.14) Tested on all platforms by various people; special thanks to sturm@ and otto@. | |||||
