Yeah that is just bad. Fix that?

It is much better to just fix the bug. Please try that, it is a real
bug that needs real fixing no matter what, so might as well do it now
(in a separate patch) and not have to work around it for the one place
you know it to hurt now.

It does very much the wrong thing now. It needs fixing. You need it
fixed for this patch, to do this patch properly. Please just fix it.

Yes, but setting it for any DFmode (with 64-bit long double) is just
wrong.

It was more just a case for explicitly adding -mabi=ibmlongdouble for the
modules that need it, and letting the default option be used for the modules
that don't use IBM long doubles.
Because we only have set of GNU attributes for an entire shared library, it is
important that all 3 cases for long double not set the attributes.
I first took off the -mno-gnu-attributes options, and built libgcc with 3
different compilers (long double = 64 bits, long double = IEEE 128-bits, and
long double = IBM 128-bit). The modules in the patch were the ones that set
gnu attribute #4 to 5 (i.e. use IBM 128-bit floating point).
I then looked in the libgcc built with the configure option:
--without-long-double-128
and a bunch of modules showed setting gnu attribute #4 to 9 (i.e. use of long
double as double).
The reason is within GCC if you compile with -mlong-double-64 (or build with a
compiler configured with --without-long-double-128), every time you use double
or _Complex double, it will set gnu attribute #4 to 5. It is due to this code
in rs6000_emit_move in rs6000.c:
#ifdef HAVE_AS_GNU_ATTRIBUTE
/* If we use a long double type, set the flags in .gnu_attribute that say
what the long double type is. This is to allow the linker's warning
message for the wrong long double to be useful, even if the function does
not do a call (for example, doing a 128-bit add on power9 if the long
double type is IEEE 128-bit. Do not set this if __ibm128 or __floa128 are
used if they aren't the default long dobule type. */
if (rs6000_gnu_attr && (HAVE_LD_PPC_GNU_ATTR_LONG_DOUBLE || TARGET_64BIT))
{
if (TARGET_LONG_DOUBLE_128 && (mode == TFmode || mode == TCmode))
rs6000_passes_float = rs6000_passes_long_double = true;
else if (!TARGET_LONG_DOUBLE_128 && (mode == DFmode || mode == DCmode))
rs6000_passes_float = rs6000_passes_long_double = true;
}
#endif
The code in rs6000-call.c (init_cumulative_args and
rs6000_function_arg_advance_1) actually does look at the types and only sets
rs6000_passes_long_double if the type is the long double type.
So I figured it was better just to build libgcc where we explicitly enable the
IBM floating point and just turn off gnu attributes globally in the library.
The code in rs6000_emit_move is perhaps well intentioned, but by looking at
just modes and not types, it can miss things. However, that is a giant can of
worms, and we can play whack-a-mole trying to get everything right. Perhaps
somebody (else) can tackle it. But I would prefer to just fix the issue at
hand, rather than possibly having an endless battle to get things right.
As I recall, what the code in rs6000_emit_move is trying to do is to catch
places where you use long double, but no call is made. I.e.
struct foo {
/* ... */
long double ld;
/* ... */
};
void bar (struct foo *p)
{
/* ... */
(p->ld)++;
/* ... */
}
On a power9/10 system with IEEE long double or on a system with a 64-bit long
double, that code would not generate a call, but it does depend on the long
double format (and hence should set the gnu attribute #4).

Why is this is wrong? If you are configuring using --without-long-double-128 then that doesn't mean 128-bit long doubles are unsupported, it just selects the default to be 64-bit long double. A compiler built using --without-long-double-128 can generate code for 128-bit long double by simply using -mlong-double-128. In which case you need the libgcc support for 128-bit long doubles. Well, I suppose you are passing -mlong-double-128 for those objects that need it, but I can't see any harm in passing -mlong-double-128 everywhere in libgcc. It seems to me that *not* using -mlong-double-128 then opens you up to the .gnu_attribute bug where we mark an object as using 64-bit long double when it really is just using plain double. > > 2)The second issue is that the GNU attribute #4 is set to reflect > using > 128-bit long doubles, and you get linker warnings when you use use the > compiler, since libgcc_s.so indicates 128-bit IBM long doubles were > used.

[PATCH] PowerPC: PR libgcc/97543, build libgcc with -mno-gnu-attribute
PowerPC: PR libgcc/97543, fix 64-bit long double issues There are two issues in PR libgcc/97543 which shows up if you build a GCC compiler with long double defaulting to 64-bit instead of 128-bit with IBM extended double: 1) The first issue was the t-linux file forced the entire libgcc library to be compiled with the -mlong-double-128 option. 2) The second issue is that the GNU attribute #4 is set to reflect using 128-bit long doubles, and you get linker warnings when you use use the compiler, since libgcc_s.so indicates 128-bit IBM long doubles were used. I ran into a similar issue with my patches to extend libgcc to work if long doubles were configured to use the 128-bit IEEE format instead of the 128-bit IBM format. One feature of the current GNU attribute implementation is if you have a shared library (such as libgcc_s.so), the GNU attributes for the shared library is an inclusive OR of all of the modules within the library. This means if any module uses the -mlong-double-128 option and uses long double, the GNU attributes for the library will indicate that it uses 128-bit IBM long doubles. If you have a static library, you will get the warning only if you actually reference a module with the attribute set. This patch does two things: 1) Instead of compiling the whole library with -mlong-double-128, it only compiles the modules that process the IBM extended double format with this switch. It also specifies that these files must be compiled using the IBM format for long double. 2) I turned off GNU attributes for the whole library. Originally, I just turned off GNU attributes for just the modules that process IBM extended format values. But this doesn't work if the compiler defaults long double to 64-bits. What happens is the logic in rs6000.c that sets the GNU attribute bits, will set the bits for 64-bit long double if a normal double (DFmode) is used. So I just turned off the attributes for the whole library. This patch replaces the patch I previously did for IEEE 128-bit to turn off GNU attributes for just the ibm-ldouble.o module. https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2020-October/556863.html I have tested this by building a compiler on a little endian power9 system running Linux with long double defaulting to 64-bits using the configure option: --without-long-double-128, and I verified that the warning no longer is generated by the linker. I then built a bootstrap compiler, by first building a non-bootstrap version. With that non-bootstrap compiler, I built versions of the MPC and MPFR. Using those libraries, and the non-bootstrap compiler as the host compiler, I was able to do a full bootstrap compiler. There are differences in the regression test suite where the test implicitly assumed long double was 128-bits or was a float128 test. Can I install this patch into the master branch?
