Now gcc-13: [Fwd: [PATCH] gcc-12: Re-enable split-stack support for GNU/Hurd.]

  Package: gcc-snapshot
Version: 1:20230315-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: debian-hurd@lists.debian.org
Usertags: hurd

Hello, seems like the patch gcc_config_gnu.h.diff, in debian gcc-12 named:
pr104290-followup.diff was lost (again).

How can this patch ever become upstreamed??

It seems like sending to gcc-patches is not enough. Create a regression bug?  
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104290 is already reported as a
regression, it has to be updated to cover upstream releases of gcc-13 now.

For gcc-12 Debian has been carrying it as:
pr104290-followup.diff

Submitting this problem as new bug to Debian/gcc-13/gcc-snapshot!

Thanks!
Hello,

In line of porting the latest build of libgo/go with gcc-12 to GNU/Hurd, support
of split-stack was found to be removed.
 
After patching the files in libgo the build of gotools fails:
go1: error: '-fsplit-stack' currently only supported on GNU/Linux
go1: error: '-fsplit-stack' is not supported by this compiler configuration

The attached patch defines OPTION_GLIBC_P(opts) and OPTION_GLIBC that was lost
in config/gnu.h, needed to enable split-stack support for GNU/Hurd. 

This problem happened with the latest commit as discussed in the mail thread
starting with https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-January/588973.html
.

The file first doing this check is: (first error: ..)
src/gcc/common/config/i386/i386-common.cc
in function:
static bool ix86_supports_split_stack (bool report,
            struct gcc_options *opts ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED)

and secondly in:src/gcc/opts.cc: (second error: ...)
in function:
void
finish_options (struct gcc_options *opts, struct gcc_options *opts_set,
                location_t loc)

The checking logic is in function ix86_supports_split_stack():
#if defined(TARGET_THREAD_SPLIT_STACK_OFFSET) && defined(OPTION_GLIBC_P)
  if (!OPTION_GLIBC_P (opts))
#endif
    {
      if (report)
        error ("%<-fsplit-stack%> currently only supported on GNU/Linux");
      return false;
    }

  bool ret = true;

In case of GNU/Hurd TARGET_THREAD_SPLIT_STACK_OFFSET is defined as well as
OPTION_GLIBC_P but OPTION_GLIBC_P(opts) is needed to. The attached patch to
src/gcc/config/gnu.h creates that definition. For GNU/Hurd, gnu.h is included in
the configure stage:
Configuring stage 1 in ./gcc
...
Using the following target machine macro files:
...
        ../../src/gcc/config/gnu.h

For a longer history about this bug see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104290

Additionally, I would propose the text in gcc/common/config/i386/i386-common.cc
to change from:
error ("%<-fsplit-stack%> currently only supported on GNU/Linux");
to:
error ("%<-fsplit-stack%> currently only supported on GLIBC-based systems");

Thanks!

If GNU/Hurd requires glibc, then I think it would be simpler to define
OPTION_GLIBC and OPTION_GLIBC_P as true.

Adding Thomas Schwinge as the GNU/Hurd maintainer.
