The support can either be enabled in /gcc/config.gcc for one architecture in general by setting default_gnu_indirect_function variable to yes or by configuring gcc with --enable-gnu-indirect-function. The next patch rewrites libc_ifunc macro to use gcc attribute ifunc instead of inline assembly to generate the IFUNC symbols due to false debuginfo. If gcc does not support attribute ifunc, the old approach for generating ifunc'ed symbols is used. Then the debug-information is false. Thus it is recommended to use a gcc with indirect function support (See notes in INSTALL). After this patch-series these inline assemblies for ifunc-handling are not scattered in multiple files but are used only indirect via ifunc-macros and can simply removed in libc-symbols.h in future. If glibc is configured with --enable-multi-arch and gcc does not support attribute ifunc, a configure warning is dumped! This NEWS entry will be added: * For multi-arch support it is recommended to use a GCC with gnu-indirect-function support as it is used to generate ifunc'ed symbols with correct debug-information. This support can either be enabled by configuring GCC with '--enable-gnu-indirect-function' or by enabling it by default by setting 'default_gnu_indirect_function' variable for a particular architecture in gcc source file 'gcc/config.gcc'. ChangeLog: * config.h.in (HAVE_GCC_IFUNC): New undef. * configure.ac: Add check if gcc supports attribute ifunc feature. * configure: Regenerated. * manual/install.texi: Add recommendation for gcc with indirect-function support. * INSTALL: Regenerated. --- INSTALL | 8 ++++++++ config.h.in | 3 +++ configure | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ configure.ac | 33 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ manual/install.texi | 7 +++++++ 5 files changed, 93 insertions(+) diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL index ec3445f..1a67891 100644 --- a/INSTALL +++ b/INSTALL @@ -359,6 +359,14 @@ build the GNU C Library: better code.
