[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 08/29] linkage: new macros for assembler symbols
Introduce new C macros for annotations of functions and data in
assembly. There is a long-term mess in macros like ENTRY, END, ENDPROC
and similar. They are used in different manners and sometimes
incorrectly.
So introduce macros with clear use to annotate assembly as follows:
a) Support macros
SYM_T_FUNC -- type used by assembler to mark functions
SYM_T_OBJECT -- type used by assembler to mark data
They are defined as STT_FUNC and STT_OBJECT respectively. According
to the gas manual, this is the most portable way. I am not sure about
other assemblers, so we can switch this back to %function and %object
if this turns into a problem. Architectures can also override them by
something like ", @function" if need be.
SYM_A_ALIGN, SYM_A_NONE -- align the symbol?
SYM_V_GLOBAL, SYM_V_WEAK, SYM_V_LOCAL -- visibility of symbols
b) Mostly internal annotations, used by the ones below
SYM_ENTRY -- use only if you have to for non-paired symbols
SYM_START -- use only if you have to
SYM_END -- use only if you have to
c) Generic annotations
d) Annotations for code
SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_ALIAS -- use where there are two local names for
one code
SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS -- use where there are two global names for one
code
SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS -- the end of LOCAL_ALIASed or ALIASed code
SYM_FUNC_START -- use for global functions
SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL -- use for local functions
SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK -- use for weak functions
SYM_FUNC_END -- the end of SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL, SYM_FUNC_START,
SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK, ...
SYM_FUNC_INNER_LABEL -- only for labels in the middle of functions
d) For data
SYM_DATA_START -- global data symbol
SYM_DATA_END -- the end of SYM_DATA_START symbol
SYM_DATA_END_LABEL -- the labeled end of SYM_DATA_START symbol
SYM_DATA_SIMPLE -- start+end wrapper around simple global data
SYM_DATA_SIMPLE_LOCAL -- start+end wrapper around simple local data
==========
Note that SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK aligns symbols now too.
The macros allow to pair starts and ends of functions and mark function
correctly in the output ELF objects. This will also help a lot to
generate DWARF information automatically during build of asm.
Finally, all users of the old macros will be converted to use these
later.
[v2]
* use SYM_ prefix and sane names
* add SYM_START and SYM_END and parametrize all the macros
[v3]
* add SYM_DATA_SIMPLE, SYM_DATA_SIMPLE_LOCAL, and SYM_DATA_END_LABEL
