Bug ID: 18625
Summary: Thumb2 branch out of range error
Product: binutils
Version: 2.26 (HEAD)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: gas
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: prathamesh.kulkarni at linaro dot org
Target Milestone: ---
Hi,
During LTO compilation of chromium with gcc trunk for single partition
(-flto --param lto-partitions=1) I get the following assembly error:
Thumb2 branch out of range.
LTO compilation of chromium with multiple partitions has no issues,
this happens only for single or no partitioning.
Assembly file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yl171mwqd9lad9c/chrome.ltrans0.s?dl=0
Options passed to gas: -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon -meabi=5
Backtrace:
I get the following backtrace under gdb:
#0 as_bad_where (file=0x7fffffffe29f
"chromium/src/out/Release/chrome.ltrans0.s", line=20710144,
format=0x552ed2 "Thumb2 branch out of range")

The program aborts from here by calling as_bad_where() in
tc-arm.c:md_apply_fix():
if ((value & ~0x3fffff) && ((value & ~0x3fffff) != ~0x3fffff))
{
if (!(ARM_CPU_HAS_FEATURE (cpu_variant, arm_arch_t2)))
as_bad_where (fixP->fx_file, fixP->fx_line, BAD_RANGE);
else if ((value & ~0x1ffffff)
&& ((value & ~0x1ffffff) != ~0x1ffffff))
as_bad_where (fixP->fx_file, fixP->fx_line,
_("Thumb2 branch out of range"));
}
For the case when branch is out of range, "value" equals ffffffda.
This probably happens because the section generated during LTO build is too
large, and function call exceeds the range for short-call.
Forcing gcc to emit long calls for each function call doesn't result in this
error. I wonder if this is gas or gcc bug ?
Thank you,
Prathamesh
