    <title>Fix Thumb gas segfault</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/32040</link>
    <description>The ARM non-unified assembler assumes that Thumb ldm/stm always use the ia 
addressing mode. Other addressing modes are only available on Thumb-2, and 
you're supposed to use unified mode for that.

The patch below makes gas issue an appropriate error rather than segfaulting 
on the 32-bit encodings.

Tested with cross to arm-none-eabi.

    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/32036</link>
    <description>The attached patch fixes some issues with the ARM/Thumb SRS instruction.
Gas was incorrectly encoding the Thumb variants of these instructions.
In addition, Arm have changes the assembly syntax for these instructions to 
include an explicit base registers. Currently the only legal base register is 
r13 (aka sp). The old syntax is still accepted.

An optional first argument requires a tweak to parse_operands. When the first 
operand is absent we don't have a comma to skip over when parsing 
the "second" operand.

Tested on arm-none-eabi.

    <description>At the moment, the printed versions of most manuals (all except
libiberty) explicitly put the table of contents at the very end of
the document, after the index and (where used) the page containing
typesetting information.  This is at odds with most (although admittedly
not all) manuals I've seen, and is also at odds with the gcc manual.
It seems more common for the contents to go after the title page and
for the index to go at the end.

This patch puts the contents after the title page instead.
Tested with "make info", "make html" and "make pdf".  OK to install?

    <description>Hi Nick,

You checked in this change:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2007-03/msg00085.html

to use pc-relative relocation instead of an absolute relocation for
x86_64-pc-mingw32 target. But you also changed readelf.c, which
wasn't mentioned in ChangeLog. What is that change for?

Thanks.

    <title>[patch RFA] Do nothing in debug_apply_rela_addends for SH</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/32019</link>
    <description>Hi,

PR gas/3811 was caught with the cfi-common-6 test and turned
out an SH specific problem of readelf.
readelf loads the .eh_frame section and fixes the contents
according to rela addends with debug_apply_rela_addends when
the target uses RELA.  Although SH uses RELA relocations,
it doesn't use their addend fields and uses in place values.
This makes debug_apply_rela_addends confused.  The attached
patch is to fix it.  Tested on i686-pc-linux-gnu and sh4-
unknown-linux-gnu with no new regressions.

Regards,
kaz

    <title>Patch to update libtool in GCC and binutils trees</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/32006</link>
    <description>Here is a patch to update the libtool in the GCC and src trees to the
ToT libtool.  I did not include the actual new libtool in this patch but
if you pick up the latest snapshot (anything after March 19th) it should
work.  I can send the libtool I used as a patch if people want me to.  I
left it out of this patch in order to make it simpler to see what I did.

I have tested this on one platform only so far so I think it needs more
testing before we do anything further.

Here is what I did:

In GCC and Src trees I updated libtool by removing ltconfig, ltcf-c.sh,
ltcf-cxx.sh, and ltcf-gcj.sh; updating ltmain.sh and libtool.m4; and
adding ltsugar.m4, ltversion.m4, and ltoptions.m4.

In the Src tree; in bfd, binutils, gas, gprof, and rda I added some
includes and some macro calls and reordered a few things.  In these
directories plus in ld, opcodes, and newlib I regenerated everthing by
running "aclocal;automake -cygnus;autoconf".  Except in rda where
-cygnus was not used.

In the GCC tree I updated Makfile.am i</description>

    <description>Hi,

Recently, I ran into a problem with compiler-linker interaction when  
analyzing a code generation regression of the new instruction scheduler  
for GCC that we develop.

It seems that on IA64 addresses of global variables are loaded with two  
instructions: "addl rXX = r1, &lt;offset&gt;" and "ld8 rXX = [rXX]", with the  
latter being later changed to "nop" by the linker. This causes the  
following questions:

  * Is the purpose of the "ld8" instruction to load the correct offset if  
it does not fit into "addl" immediate operand?

  * Is it possible to use "movl rXX = &lt;offset&gt;" (move long immediate, in  
MLX bundle) + "addl rXX = r1, rXX" for the same purpose?

  * Is it possible to tell compiler and linker that offsets will be small  
enough so that only "addl rXX = r1, &lt;offset&gt;" will be needed (and if it is  
not possbile, why)?

I have noticed that with -mno-pic GCC generates "movl rXX = &lt;address&gt;"  
(MLX bundle). This causes a couple of questions, too:

   * Is it possible to use "mov rXX = &lt;offset-or-</description>

    <title>CBZ to the next instruction on ARM</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/31993</link>
    <description>Here's an ugly one I've had knocking around for a while.

It's actually illegal for a CBZ instruction on ARM to jump to the
next instruction.  This can cause problems because gcc's
branch length adjustment algorithm (as far as I can tell) does not
cope with branch instructions that actually have a _minimum_ range
as this one does.  In certain very unusual circumstances it is possible
for the compiler to emit code that has a CBZ to the next instruction,
which currently causes a failure.

I propose the application of the attached patch that rewrites
such bogus CBZ instructions to no-ops.  This isn't particularly
elegant, but does make this robust.  OK?

Mark

    <title>Binutils 2.18 prep</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/31970</link>
    <description>Hello all,

According to the informal schedule I've been following, binutils 2.18
should be coming up soon.  I have a collection of flagged messages to
go back to before I let another release out the door, but I definitely
don't claim to track everything.  If you have any recently committed
projects (or likely to be committed soon) that should have a little
more time to settle, please let me know.

I expect to create the branch within a couple of weeks.  I'd like to
keep the branch-to-release interval fairly short; I've been using
better revision control systems than CVS lately, and they've left me
very bitter about having to merge patches to a CVS branch.  Volunteers
to find a workable way to use SVN for src instead are highly welcomed
as far as I'm concerned.

    <description>The hardware spec uses REX.W/REX.R/REX.X/REX.B. But x86 binutils uses
REX_MODE64/REX_EXTX/REX_EXTY/REX_EXTZ. I have to do a translation
when I read the code. I suggest we repleace them with
REX_W/REX_R/REX_X/REX_B. Dissassembler will print rexWRXB instead of
rex64XYZ.

    <title>[toplevel] Fix quoting of TOPLEVEL_CONFIGURE_ARGUMENTS</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/31955</link>
    <description>The top-level configure stores a copy of the original arguments
in TOPLEVEL_CONFIGURE_ARGUMENTS, which is then used for things
like gcc --verbose.  AIUI, you're supposed to be able to cut-&amp;-paste
the gcc --verbose and use them as configure arguments in another build.

The code seems to be based on the autoconf 2.5x ac_configure_args code,
but I noticed two problems: (1) the glob isn't m4-quoted, so ends up
in configure without the square brackets; and (2) unlike the autoconf
version, it doesn't treat single quotes a special character.

Fixed with the patch below.  Bootstrapped &amp; regression-tested
on x86_64-linux-gnu.  OK to install?

(I've included the auto-generated output too to show the effect
of the m4 quoting fix.)

    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.binutils/31954</link>
    <description>The assembler doesn't use the shorter 0x90 opcode for xchg in 64bit
mode and the disassembler fails to proper decode the REX byte before
0x90. Also nop (0f 1f) takes both register and memory operand.

This patch fixes those.

    <description>Hi,

My target is an ia64 architecture and the host is i686 gnu linux ...
the objdump is not recognzing the file format i.e. ELF64 ..
 I am using binutils-2.17.
Where all should the changes be made to make atleast objdump work ..



Thanks ..
