I am now investigating what looks like a miscompilation of the code by *gcc* after applying the patch. It seems that -mrtd option is to blame. I have found an older discussion about the -mrtd option causing trouble with clang: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2011-August/026263.html There was a patch that made clang happy without disabling the flag, so I wonder if I made some subtle mistake in my patch. Or maybe it's better to disable mrtd altogether for the zfs boot blocks, just to stay on the safe side. Some technical details in the form of a diff with some superimposed comments: --- /home/avg/tmp/vdev_read_phys-mrtd.s 2011-09-10 01:50:54.500620864 +0300 +++ /home/avg/tmp/vdev_read_phys-no-mrtd.s 2011-09-10 01:49:59.157701373 +0300 @@ -29,16 +29,17 @@ ... <- in the code before this %edi gets assigned a pointer to a function movl 60(%ecx), %eax movl %eax, 24(%esp) movl %ecx, 20(%esp) + movl %edi, %ecx <- non-mrtd code saves the pointer popl %ebx popl %esi popl %edi <- %edi gets over-written with an unrelated value popl %ebp - jmp *%edi <- mrtd code calls some garbage code + jmp *%ecx <- non-mrtd code calls the correct code .L601: movl $5, %eax popl %ebx popl %esi popl %edi popl %ebp - ret $24 + ret The problem is in the patched vdev_read_phys function in zfsimpl.c. Unpatched version of the function doesn't seem to be affected. Any help/ideas will be greatly appreciated! -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
