Subject: binutils 2.15-1 chokes on code 2.14.90.0.7-8 didn't

Package: binutils
Version: 2.15-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream

Hi,

Here's some preprocessed code from
kernel-source-2.4.27/arch/sparc/lib/copy_user.S:

byte_chunk:
        ldub [%o1 - -0x02 - 0x02], %g2; ldub [%o1 - -0x02 - 0x01], %g3; stb %g2, [%o0 - -0x02 - 0x02]; stb %g3, [%o0 - -0x02 - 0x01];
        ldub [%o1 - -0x04 - 0x02], %g2; ldub [%o1 - -0x04 - 0x01], %g3; stb %g2, [%o0 - -0x04 - 0x02]; stb %g3, [%o0 - -0x04 - 0x01];
        ldub [%o1 - -0x06 - 0x02], %g2; ldub [%o1 - -0x06 - 0x01], %g3; stb %g2, [%o0 - -0x06 - 0x02]; stb %g3, [%o0 - -0x06 - 0x01];
        ldub [%o1 - -0x08 - 0x02], %g2; ldub [%o1 - -0x08 - 0x01], %g3; stb %g2, [%o0 - -0x08 - 0x02]; stb %g3, [%o0 - -0x08 - 0x01];
        ldub [%o1 - -0x0a - 0x02], %g2; ldub [%o1 - -0x0a - 0x01], %g3; stb %g2, [%o0 - -0x0a - 0x02]; stb %g3, [%o0 - -0x0a - 0x01];
        ldub [%o1 - -0x0c - 0x02], %g2; ldub [%o1 - -0x0c - 0x01], %g3; stb %g2, [%o0 - -0x0c - 0x02]; stb %g3, [%o0 - -0x0c - 0x01];
        ldub [%o1 - -0x0e - 0x02], %g2; ldub [%o1 - -0x0e - 0x01], %g3; stb %g2, [%o0 - -0x0e - 0x02]; stb %g3, [%o0 - -0x0e - 0x01];
        ldub [%o1 - -0x10 - 0x02], %g2; ldub [%o1 - -0x10 - 0x01], %g3; stb %g2, [%o0 - -0x10 - 0x02]; stb %g3, [%o0 - -0x10 - 0x01];

All were expansions of this #define:

#define MOVE_SHORTCHUNK(src, dst, offset, t0, t1) \
        ldub [%src - offset - 0x02], %t0; \
        ldub [%src - offset - 0x01], %t1; \
        stb %t0, [%dst - offset - 0x02]; \
        stb %t1, [%dst - offset - 0x01];

Compiling it, I get

copy_user.S:300: Error: bad expression
copy_user.S:300: Error: bad expression
copy_user.S:300: Error: bad expression
copy_user.S:301: Error: bad expression
[...]

It seems that the double negative (as in ldub [%o1 - -0x10 - 0x02])
confuses as. Changing all occurrences of the double negative to + made
the code compile again, as it did in 2.14.90.0.7-8. This is pretty unacceptable
for sarge, as it breaks the build for many kernel versions back when this
macro first came into use, and it's perfectly valid sparc assembly as
far as I can tell.

Thanks..

-Josh

Hi,

I found a bitkeeper changeset that fixes this for us. It kind of looks
like this is basically binutils enforcing better syntax than it did
before, but it would be nice to have a workaround for this for sarge.

If you think that allowing double-negatives is really, really evil, go
ahead and close this bug.
