[PATCH 0/2] ArmVirtPkg EmbeddedPkg: fix build for CLANG35/ARM

[PATCH 0/2] ArmVirtPkg EmbeddedPkg: fix build for CLANG35/ARM

[Ard Biesheuvel]

Currently, the ArmVirtQemuKernel and ArmVirtXen platforms will not build
for ARM when using CLANG35, due to the fact that the compiler emits
MOVT/MOVW pairs into objects that are used by the relocatable PrePi, and
such instruction pairs are not runtime relocatable in ELF (i.e., there are
no dynamic relocation types to describe them)

So fix this by selectively inhibiting the use of these pairs when building
these platforms for ARM using CLANG35

[PATCH 1/2] EmbeddedPkg: make PrePiMemoryAllocationLib a SEC type library

[Ard Biesheuvel]

This library is only used by the various PrePi implementations, all of
which are of type SEC. So make this library SEC as well. This may affect
the build options used by the platform.

You can actually enforce that client module type restriction, by setting

    LIBRARY_CLASS                  = MemoryAllocationLib|SEC

Can you try that, in addition to the MODULE_TYPE change?

Just an idea, of course.

Thanks,

That is a valid point, but it is kind of orthogonal to the issue I am
trying to solve.

In patch #2, I override the CC flags for SEC and BASE type modules,
but this static library gets build with the PEIM rules in effect, so I
don't really mind if anyone uses this module elsewhere. I could
perhaps simply change the type to BASE as well.

Hm, after your explanation, I think your current patch is good.

No objection. We can always change it to BASE in future if that would
appear to make sense.

[PATCH 2/2] ArmVirtPkg ARM: make relocatable PrePi users build with CLANG35

[Ard Biesheuvel]

The clang developers have made a backward incompatible change to the
command line arguments, and have replaced '-mllvm -arm-use-movt=0'
with '-mno-movt'. This does not matter for most ARM platforms, and
therefore it has been removed from the default CLANG35/ARM CC flags
in patch 1c63516075b3 ("BaseTools CLANG35: drop problematic use-movt
and save-temps options"), but as it turns out, the relocatable PrePi
implementation used by ArmVirtQemuKernel and ArmVirtXen will fail to
build if it contains MOVT/MOVW pairs, due to the fact that these are
not runtime relocatable under ELF.

Since they are runtime relocatable under PE/COFF, and GenFw does the
right thing when encountering them, selectively controlling their
use is more appropriate than disabling them altogether. Therefore,
this patch adds the -mno-movt argument only for the platforms that
use the relocatable PrePi, and only for the module types that may
be pulled into its build.

I think it would be reasonable to add this one paragraph to the commit

Pushed as

f846969796d3 EmbeddedPkg: make PrePiMemoryAllocationLib a SEC type library
87ee6390cbeb ArmVirtPkg ARM: make relocatable PrePi users build with CLANG35

with Laszlo's suggested commit log change to #2

Thanks all
