--- Comment #4 from cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Alan Modra <amo...@sourceware.org>: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=0441f94fba61998b4bd18487aacf70a672df099c commit 0441f94fba61998b4bd18487aacf70a672df099c Author: Alan Modra <amo...@gmail.com> Date: Fri Jan 28 09:46:13 2022 +1030 PR28827, assertion building LLVM 9 on powerpc64le-linux-gnu The assertion is this one in ppc_build_one_stub BFD_ASSERT (stub_entry->stub_offset >= stub_entry->group->stub_sec->size); It is checking that a stub doesn't overwrite the tail of a previous stub, so not something trivial. Normally, stub sizing iterates until no stubs are added, detected by no change in stub section size. Iteration also continues if no stubs are added but one or more stubs increases in size, which also can be detected by a change in stub section size. But there is a pathological case where stub section sizing decreases one iteration then increases the next. To handle that situation, stub sizing also stops at more than STUB_SHRINK_ITER (20) iterations when calculated stub section size is smaller. The previous larger size is kept for the actual layout (so that building the stubs, which behaves like another iteration of stub sizing, will see the stub section sizes shrink). The problem with that stopping condition is that it assumes that stub sizing is only affected by addresses external to the stub sections, which isn't always true. This patch fixes that by also keeping larger individual stub_offset addresses past STUB_SHRINK_ITER. It also catches a further pathological case where one stub shrinks and another expands in such a way that no stub section size change is seen. PR 28827 * elf64-ppc.c (struct ppc_link_hash_table): Add stub_changed. (STUB_SHRINK_ITER): Move earlier in file. (ppc_size_one_stub): Detect any change in stub_offset. Keep larger one if past STUB_SHRINK_ITER. (ppc64_elf_size_stubs): Iterate on stub_changed too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
