Saving the FP registers and status registers can be a large penalty, so it's probably not desirable to do that all the time. If the handler calls other functions, we'd likely need to save all of them, for lack of knowledge of which registers they actually clobber. This is even more obscure for the end-user when the compiler inserts calls to helper functions such as memcpy (some multilibs do use FP registers to speed it up). In the PR, we discussed adding routines in libgcc to save the FP context and saving only locally-clobbered FP registers, but this seems to be too much work for the purpose, given that in general such handlers try to avoid this kind of penalty. I suspect we would also want new attributes to instruct the compiler that saving the FP context is not needed. In the mean time, emit a warning to suggest re-compiling with -mgeneral-regs-only. Note that this can lead to errors if the code uses floating-point and -mfloat-abi=hard, eg: argument of type 'double' not permitted with -mgeneral-regs-only This can be troublesome for the user, but at least this would make him aware of the latent issue. The patch adds several testcases: - pr94734-1-hard.c checks that a warning is emitted when using -mfloat-abi=hard. Function IRQ_HDLR_Test can make implicit calls to runtime floating-point routines (or direct use of FP instructions), IRQ_HDLR_Test2 doesn't. We emit a warning in both cases, though. - pr94734-1-softfp.c: same as above wih -mfloat-abi=softfp. - pr94734-1-soft.c checks that no warning is emitted when using -mfloat-abi=soft when the same code as above. - pr94734-2.c checks that no warning is emitted when using -mgeneral-regs-only. - pr94734-3.c checks that no warning is emitted when using -mgeneral-regs-only even using float-point data. 2020-06-30 Christophe Lyon <christophe.l...@linaro.org> PR target/94743 gcc/ * config/arm/arm.c (arm_handle_isr_attribute): Warn if -mgeneral-regs-only is not used. gcc/testsuite/ * gcc.misc-tests/arm-isr.c: Add -mgeneral-regs-only. * gcc.target/arm/empty_fiq_handler.c: Add -mgeneral-regs-only. * gcc.target/arm/interrupt-1.c: Add -mgeneral-regs-only. * gcc.target/arm/interrupt-2.c: Add -mgeneral-regs-only. * gcc.target/arm/pr70830.c: Add -mgeneral-regs-only. * gcc.target/arm/pr94743-1-hard.c: New test. * gcc.target/arm/pr94743-1-soft.c: New test. * gcc.target/arm/pr94743-1-softfp.c: New test. * gcc.target/arm/pr94743-2.c: New test. * gcc.target/arm/pr94743-3.c: New test.
