Removing those instr. comes with a very big performance
penalty. To flush the dcache you will have read up to 8KB
dummy data and to invalidate the icache you will have to
execute up to 16KB nops. I don't know of any other way from
user space.
hmm, actually I think it will work reliable to perform a
store to the same page(s) as the dcbst/icbi will act on. That
way you will make the DTLB Error happen(if any) prior to the
dcbst/icbi. The worst thing that can happen then is a regular
DTLB Miss and that works for dcbst/icbi.
You will have to lookout for if dcbst/icbi crosses a page
boundary. Then you will have to perform a store to both
pages.

Hi again
I think I know what the problem is. The
PPC_DCBST;PPC_SYNC;PPC_ICBI;PPC_ISYNC sequence is executed
even if no modification has been done i some cases:
_dl_linux_resolver(), the last else has no store for insns[0].
these is a insns[1] = OPCODE_B(delta - 4) that
does not have a PPC_DCBST.
_dl_do_lazy_reloc(), for R_PPC_NONE there is no store.
for R_PPC_JMP_SLOT there is a
insns[1] = OPCODE_B(delta)that does not
have a PPC_DCBST.
_dl_do_reloc(), for R_PPC_COPY there is no store.
for R_PPC_JMP_SLOT there is a
reloc_addr[1] = OPCODE_B(delta) that does not
have a PPC_DCBST.
_dl_init_got(), I THINK that the
PPC_DCBST(plt);
PPC_DCBST(plt+4);
PPC_DCBST(plt+8);
PPC_SYNC;
PPC_ICBI(plt);
PPC_ICBI(plt+4);
PPC_ICBI(plt+8);
PPC_ISYNC;
is off a bit. The address range does not match the sum
of the plt[] and tramp[] address range.
Jocke
# And then later added the comment:
I think that the tramp[] part should be included in the
PPC_DCBST/PPC_ICBI sequence. Then you have to add entries for
plt+12 and plt+16. If the tramp[] part should be excluded,
then all is well.

Remove the ADD_LIBGCC_FUNCTIONS option and do things the right way.
Either we have a shared libgcc available, or the libgcc routines
aren't PIC and don't belong in the shared libc anyway.

ln.patch:
* Define $(LN) as ln in Rules.mak.
* Change all occurrences of ln into $(LN).
* Change all constructs like (cd path && ln -sf foo/file file)
into $(LN) -sf foo/file path/file. The latter construct is
already used in a number of places so it should not be
an additional compatibility problem.
|
|
rm.patch:
* Define $(RM) as rm -f in Rules.mak and test/Rules.mak
(this is the same definition as gmake uses by default).
* Change all occurrences of rm and rm -f into $(RM).
|
|
install.patch:
* Define $(INSTALL) as install in Rules.mak.
* Change all occurrences of install into $(INSTALL).
* Change all occurrences of mkdir -p into $(INSTALL) -d.
install -d is already used in a number of places so
this should not be an additional compatibility problem.

not work at all...

we would try to re-fixup the lib's relocations with rather
horrible results. So fix that by checking the the dlopened lib
has already had its init functions called, which will never be
the case for newly loaded libs, and skip the rest in that case.
also apply a few minor fixups

Hello,
my patch changed the format of the ldso debug output to the same
format as on the i386 systems.

checking for duplicates and returning an alias if an existing lib
is already loaded is still correct for the dlopen case.

With this, the shared lib loader works on mips once again.

a chain of dependent libraries or libraries that depend on other
shared libraries will not work!
So with a well placed
dyn_chain->flags |= RTLD_GLOBAL;
everything is now working perfectly!!! Sweet!!!!
This patch also removes some leftover junk from my previous efforts.

libraries multiple times, wasting memory and causing different libraries to use
different symbol sets, some of which were not properly resolved.
Continue scrubbing ld.so and converting it to use proper types.

libname, so doing things like dlopen("./libfoo.so",RTLD_NOW) with a leading
"./" in the path will work as expected.
