The result of running etc/update-copyright.py --this-year, fixing all the files whose mode is changed by the script, plus a build with --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-cgen-maint=yes, then checking out */po/*.pot which we don't update frequently. The copy of cgen was with commit d1dd5fcc38ead reverted as that commit breaks building of bfp opcodes files.

|
The SPARC chip family includes several successive versions, using the same
|
|
core instruction set, but including a few additional instructions at
|
|
each version. There are exceptions to this however. For details on what
|
|
instructions each variant supports, please see the chip's architecture
|
|
reference manual.
|
|
|
|
By default, @code{@value{AS}} assumes the core instruction set (SPARC
|
|
v6), but ``bumps'' the architecture level as needed: it switches to
|
|
successively higher architectures as it encounters instructions that
|
|
only exist in the higher levels.
|
|
|
|
If not configured for SPARC v9 (@code{sparc64-*-*}) GAS will not bump
|
|
past sparclite by default, an option must be passed to enable the
|
|
v9 instructions.
|
|
|
|
GAS treats sparclite as being compatible with v8, unless an architecture
|
|
is explicitly requested. SPARC v9 is always incompatible with sparclite.
|
|
|
|
@c The order here is the same as the order of enum sparc_opcode_arch_val
|
|
@c to give the user a sense of the order of the "bumping".

@section Enforcing aligned data

@cindex data alignment on SPARC
|
|
@cindex SPARC data alignment
|
|
SPARC GAS normally permits data to be misaligned. For example, it
|
|
permits the @code{.long} pseudo-op to be used on a byte boundary.
|
|
However, the native SunOS assemblers issue an error when they see
|
|
misaligned data.
|
|
|
|
@kindex --enforce-aligned-data
|
|
You can use the @code{--enforce-aligned-data} option to make SPARC GAS
|
|
also issue an error about misaligned data, just as the SunOS
|
|
assemblers do.
|
|
|
|
The @code{--enforce-aligned-data} option is not the default because gcc
|
|
issues misaligned data pseudo-ops when it initializes certain packed
|
|
data structures (structures defined using the @code{packed} attribute).
|
|
You may have to assemble with GAS in order to initialize packed data
|
|
structures in your own code.

a logical line number directive (@pxref{Comments}) or a preprocessor

The Sparc integer register file is broken down into global,
|
|
outgoing, local, and incoming.
|
|
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item
|
|
The 8 global registers are referred to as @samp{%g@var{n}}.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
The 8 outgoing registers are referred to as @samp{%o@var{n}}.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
The 8 local registers are referred to as @samp{%l@var{n}}.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
The 8 incoming registers are referred to as @samp{%i@var{n}}.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
The frame pointer register @samp{%i6} can be referenced using
|
|
the alias @samp{%fp}.
|
|

@item

The stack pointer register @samp{%o6} can be referenced using
|
|
the alias @samp{%sp}.
|
|
@end itemize
|
|
|
|
Floating point registers are simply referred to as @samp{%f@var{n}}.
|
|
When assembling for pre-V9, only 32 floating point registers
|
|
are available. For V9 and later there are 64, but there are
|
|
restrictions when referencing the upper 32 registers. They
|
|
can only be accessed as double or quad, and thus only even
|
|
or quad numbered accesses are allowed. For example, @samp{%f34}
|
|
is a legal floating point register, but @samp{%f35} is not.
|
|
|
|
Floating point registers accessed as double can also be referred using
|
|
the @samp{%d@var{n}} notation, where @var{n} is even. Similarly,
|
|
floating point registers accessed as quad can be referred using the
|
|
@samp{%q@var{n}} notation, where @var{n} is a multiple of 4. For
|
|
example, @samp{%f4} can be denoted as both @samp{%d4} and @samp{%q4}.
|
|
On the other hand, @samp{%f2} can be denoted as @samp{%d2} but not as
|
|
@samp{%q2}.
|
|
|
|
Certain V9 instructions allow access to ancillary state registers.
|
|
Most simply they can be referred to as @samp{%asr@var{n}} where
|
|
@var{n} can be from 16 to 31. However, there are some aliases
|
|
defined to reference ASR registers defined for various UltraSPARC
|
|
processors:
|
|

Additionally, GAS supports the so-called ``natural'' condition codes;

|
|
@item
|
|
@samp{#MemIssue} requests that all memory reference operations
|
|
appearing prior to the @code{membar} must have been performed before
|
|
any memory operation after the @code{membar} may be initiated. This
|
|
corresponds to @code{membar} cmask field bit 1.
|

|
@item
|
|
@samp{#Lookaside} requests that a store appearing prior to the
|
|
@code{membar} must complete before any load following the
|

@code{membar} referencing the same address can be initiated. This
|
|
corresponds to @code{membar} cmask field bit 0.
|
|
|
|
@item
|
|
@samp{#StoreStore} defines that the effects of all stores appearing
|
|
prior to the @code{membar} instruction must be visible to all
|
|
processors before the effect of any stores following the
|
|
@code{membar}. Equivalent to the deprecated @code{stbar} instruction.
|

@samp{#LoadStore} defines all loads appearing prior to the
|

@samp{#StoreLoad} defines that the effects of all stores appearing
|
|
prior to the @code{membar} instruction must be visible to all

|
|
This corresponds to @code{membar} mmask field bit 1.
|
|
|

@item
|
|
@samp{#LoadLoad} defines that all loads appearing prior to the

|
@code{membar} mmask field bit 0.

The @code{prefetch} and @code{prefetcha} instructions take a prefetch
|
|
function code. The following prefetch function code constant
|
|
mnemonics are available:
|
|
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item
|
|
@samp{#n_reads} requests a prefetch for several reads, and corresponds
|
|
to a prefetch function code of 0.
|
|
|
|
@samp{#one_read} requests a prefetch for one read, and corresponds
|
|
to a prefetch function code of 1.
|
|
|
|
@samp{#n_writes} requests a prefetch for several writes (and possibly
|
|
reads), and corresponds to a prefetch function code of 2.
|
|
|
|
@samp{#one_write} requests a prefetch for one write, and corresponds
|
|
to a prefetch function code of 3.
|
|
|
|
@samp{#page} requests a prefetch page, and corresponds to a prefetch
|
|
function code of 4.
|
|
|
|
@samp{#invalidate} requests a prefetch invalidate, and corresponds to
|
|
a prefetch function code of 16.
|
|
|
|
@samp{#unified} requests a prefetch to the nearest unified cache, and
|
|
corresponds to a prefetch function code of 17.
|
|
|
|
@samp{#n_reads_strong} requests a strong prefetch for several reads,
|
|
and corresponds to a prefetch function code of 20.
|
|
|
|
@samp{#one_read_strong} requests a strong prefetch for one read,
|
|
and corresponds to a prefetch function code of 21.
|
|
|
|
@samp{#n_writes_strong} requests a strong prefetch for several writes,
|
|
and corresponds to a prefetch function code of 22.
|
|
|
|
@samp{#one_write_strong} requests a strong prefetch for one write,
|
|
and corresponds to a prefetch function code of 23.
|
|
|
|
Onle one prefetch code may be specified. Here are some examples:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
prefetch [%l0 + %l2], #one_read
|
|
prefetch [%g2 + 8], #n_writes
|
|
prefetcha [%g1] 0x8, #unified
|
|
prefetcha [%o0 + 0x10] %asi, #n_reads
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
The actual behavior of a given prefetch function code is processor
|
|
specific. If a processor does not implement a given prefetch
|
|
function code, it will treat the prefetch instruction as a nop.
|
|
|
|
For instructions that accept an immediate address space identifier,
|
|
@code{@value{AS}} provides many mnemonics corresponding to
|
|
V9 defined as well as UltraSPARC and Niagara extended values.
|
|
For example, @samp{#ASI_P} and @samp{#ASI_BLK_INIT_QUAD_LDD_AIUS}.
|
|

ELF relocations are available as defined in the 32-bit and 64-bit
|

Sparc ELF specifications.
|
|
|
|
@code{R_SPARC_HI22} is obtained using @samp{%hi} and @code{R_SPARC_LO10}
|
|
is obtained using @samp{%lo}. Likewise @code{R_SPARC_HIX22} is
|
|
obtained from @samp{%hix} and @code{R_SPARC_LOX10} is obtained
|
|
using @samp{%lox}. For example:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
sethi %hi(symbol), %g1
|
|
or %g1, %lo(symbol), %g1
|
|
|
|
sethi %hix(symbol), %g1
|
|
xor %g1, %lox(symbol), %g1
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
These ``high'' mnemonics extract bits 31:10 of their operand,
|
|
and the ``low'' mnemonics extract bits 9:0 of their operand.
|
|
|
|
V9 code model relocations can be requested as follows:
|
|
|
|
@itemize @bullet
|
|
@item
|
|
@code{R_SPARC_HH22} is requested using @samp{%hh}. It can
|
|
also be generated using @samp{%uhi}.

@code{R_SPARC_HM10} is requested using @samp{%hm}. It can
|

@code{R_SPARC_L44} is requested using @samp{%l44} or @samp{%l34}.
|
|
@item
|
|
@code{R_SPARC_H34} is requested using @samp{%h34}.
|
|
@end itemize
|
|
|
|
The @samp{%l34} generates a @code{R_SPARC_L44} relocation because it
|
|
calculates the necessary value, and therefore no explicit
|
|
@code{R_SPARC_L34} relocation needed to be created for this purpose.
|
|
|
|
The @samp{%h34} and @samp{%l34} relocations are used for the abs34 code
|
|
model. Here is an example abs34 address generation sequence:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
sethi %h34(symbol), %g1
|
|
sllx %g1, 2, %g1
|
|
or %g1, %l34(symbol), %g1
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
The PC relative relocation @code{R_SPARC_PC22} can be obtained by
|
|
enclosing an operand inside of @samp{%pc22}. Likewise, the
|
|
@code{R_SPARC_PC10} relocation can be obtained using @samp{%pc10}.
|
|
These are mostly used when assembling PIC code. For example, the
|
|
standard PIC sequence on Sparc to get the base of the global offset
|
|
table, PC relative, into a register, can be performed as:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
sethi %pc22(_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_-4), %l7
|
|
add %l7, %pc10(_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+4), %l7
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Several relocations exist to allow the link editor to potentially
|
|
optimize GOT data references. The @code{R_SPARC_GOTDATA_OP_HIX22}
|
|
relocation can obtained by enclosing an operand inside of
|
|
@samp{%gdop_hix22}. The @code{R_SPARC_GOTDATA_OP_LOX10}
|
|
relocation can obtained by enclosing an operand inside of
|
|
@samp{%gdop_lox10}. Likewise, @code{R_SPARC_GOTDATA_OP} can be
|
|
obtained by enclosing an operand inside of @samp{%gdop}.
|
|
For example, assuming the GOT base is in register @code{%l7}:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
sethi %gdop_hix22(symbol), %l1
|
|
xor %l1, %gdop_lox10(symbol), %l1
|
|
ld [%l7 + %l1], %l2, %gdop(symbol)
|
|
@end example

Here are some example TLS model sequences.
|
|
|
|
First, General Dynamic:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
sethi %tgd_hi22(symbol), %l1
|
|
add %l1, %tgd_lo10(symbol), %l1
|
|
add %l7, %l1, %o0, %tgd_add(symbol)
|
|
call __tls_get_addr, %tgd_call(symbol)
|
|
nop
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Local Dynamic:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
sethi %tldm_hi22(symbol), %l1
|
|
add %l1, %tldm_lo10(symbol), %l1
|
|
add %l7, %l1, %o0, %tldm_add(symbol)
|
|
call __tls_get_addr, %tldm_call(symbol)
|
|
nop
|
|
|
|
sethi %tldo_hix22(symbol), %l1
|
|
xor %l1, %tldo_lox10(symbol), %l1
|
|
add %o0, %l1, %l1, %tldo_add(symbol)
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
Initial Exec:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
sethi %tie_hi22(symbol), %l1
|
|
add %l1, %tie_lo10(symbol), %l1
|
|
ld [%l7 + %l1], %o0, %tie_ld(symbol)
|
|
add %g7, %o0, %o0, %tie_add(symbol)
|
|
|
|
sethi %tie_hi22(symbol), %l1
|
|
add %l1, %tie_lo10(symbol), %l1
|
|
ldx [%l7 + %l1], %o0, %tie_ldx(symbol)
|
|
add %g7, %o0, %o0, %tie_add(symbol)
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
And finally, Local Exec:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
sethi %tle_hix22(symbol), %l1
|
|
add %l1, %tle_lox10(symbol), %l1
|
|
add %g7, %l1, %l1
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
When assembling for 64-bit, and a secondary constant addend is
|
|
specified in an address expression that would normally generate
|
|
an @code{R_SPARC_LO10} relocation, the assembler will emit an
|
|
@code{R_SPARC_OLO10} instead.

@node Sparc-Size-Translations
|
|
@subsection Size Translations
|
|
@cindex Sparc size translations
|
|
@cindex size, translations, Sparc
|
|
|
|
Often it is desirable to write code in an operand size agnostic
|
|
manner. @code{@value{AS}} provides support for this via
|
|
operand size opcode translations. Translations are supported
|
|
for loads, stores, shifts, compare-and-swap atomics, and the
|
|
@samp{clr} synthetic instruction.
|
|
|
|
If generating 32-bit code, @code{@value{AS}} will generate the
|
|
32-bit opcode. Whereas if 64-bit code is being generated,
|
|
the 64-bit opcode will be emitted. For example @code{ldn}
|
|
will be transformed into @code{ld} for 32-bit code and
|
|
@code{ldx} for 64-bit code.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example meant to demonstrate all the supported
|
|
opcode translations:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
ldn [%o0], %o1
|
|
ldna [%o0] %asi, %o2
|
|
stn %o1, [%o0]
|
|
stna %o2, [%o0] %asi
|
|
slln %o3, 3, %o3
|
|
srln %o4, 8, %o4
|
|
sran %o5, 12, %o5
|
|
casn [%o0], %o1, %o2
|
|
casna [%o0] %asi, %o1, %o2
|
|
clrn %g1
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
In 32-bit mode @code{@value{AS}} will emit:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
ld [%o0], %o1
|
|
lda [%o0] %asi, %o2
|
|
st %o1, [%o0]
|
|
sta %o2, [%o0] %asi
|
|
sll %o3, 3, %o3
|
|
srl %o4, 8, %o4
|
|
sra %o5, 12, %o5
|
|
cas [%o0], %o1, %o2
|
|
casa [%o0] %asi, %o1, %o2
|
|
clr %g1
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
And in 64-bit mode @code{@value{AS}} will emit:
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
ldx [%o0], %o1
|
|
ldxa [%o0] %asi, %o2
|
|
stx %o1, [%o0]
|
|
stxa %o2, [%o0] %asi
|
|
sllx %o3, 3, %o3
|
|
srlx %o4, 8, %o4
|
|
srax %o5, 12, %o5
|
|
casx [%o0], %o1, %o2
|
|
casxa [%o0] %asi, %o1, %o2
|
|
clrx %g1
|
|
@end example
|
|

Finally, the @samp{.nword} translating directive is supported
|
|
as well. It is documented in the section on Sparc machine
|
|
directives.

@section Sparc Machine Directives
|
|
|
|
@cindex SPARC machine directives
|
|
@cindex machine directives, SPARC
|
|
The Sparc version of @code{@value{AS}} supports the following additional
|
|
machine directives:
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
@cindex @code{align} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .align
|
|
This must be followed by the desired alignment in bytes.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{common} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .common
|
|
This must be followed by a symbol name, a positive number, and
|
|
@code{"bss"}. This behaves somewhat like @code{.comm}, but the
|
|
syntax is different.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{half} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .half
|
|
This is functionally identical to @code{.short}.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{nword} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .nword
|
|
On the Sparc, the @code{.nword} directive produces native word sized value,
|
|
ie. if assembling with -32 it is equivalent to @code{.word}, if assembling
|
|
with -64 it is equivalent to @code{.xword}.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{proc} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .proc
|
|
This directive is ignored. Any text following it on the same
|
|
line is also ignored.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{register} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .register
|
|
This directive declares use of a global application or system register.
|
|
It must be followed by a register name %g2, %g3, %g6 or %g7, comma and
|
|
the symbol name for that register. If symbol name is @code{#scratch},
|
|
it is a scratch register, if it is @code{#ignore}, it just suppresses any
|
|
errors about using undeclared global register, but does not emit any
|
|
information about it into the object file. This can be useful e.g. if you
|
|
save the register before use and restore it after.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{reserve} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .reserve
|
|
This must be followed by a symbol name, a positive number, and
|
|
@code{"bss"}. This behaves somewhat like @code{.lcomm}, but the
|
|
syntax is different.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{seg} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .seg
|
|
This must be followed by @code{"text"}, @code{"data"}, or
|
|
@code{"data1"}. It behaves like @code{.text}, @code{.data}, or
|
|
@code{.data 1}.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{skip} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .skip
|
|
This is functionally identical to the @code{.space} directive.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{word} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .word
|
|
On the Sparc, the @code{.word} directive produces 32 bit values,
|
|
instead of the 16 bit values it produces on many other machines.
|
|
|
|
@cindex @code{xword} directive, SPARC
|
|
@item .xword
|
|
On the Sparc V9 processor, the @code{.xword} directive produces
|
|
64 bit values.
|
|
@end table
