Hello,
This patch series implements the GCC contribution of the FDPIC ABI for
ARM targets.
This ABI enables to run Linux on ARM MMU-less cores and supports
shared libraries to reduce the memory footprint.
Without MMU, text and data segments relative distances are different
from one process to another, hence the need for a dedicated FDPIC
register holding the start address of the data segment. One of the
side effects is that function pointers require two words to be
represented: the address of the code, and the data segment start
address. These two words are designated as "Function Descriptor",
hence the "FD PIC" name.
On ARM, the FDPIC register is r9 [1], and the target name is
arm-uclinuxfdpiceabi. Note that arm-uclinux exists, but uses another
ABI and the BFLAT file format; it does not support code sharing.
The -mfdpic option is enabled by default, and -mno-fdpic should be
used to build the Linux kernel.
This work was developed some time ago by STMicroelectronics, and was
presented during Linaro Connect SFO15 (September 2015). You can watch
the discussion and read the slides [2].
This presentation was related to the toolchain published on github [3],
which is based on binutils-2.22, gcc-4.7, uclibc-0.9.33.2, gdb-7.5.1
and qemu-2.3.0, and for which pre-built binaries are available [3].
The ABI itself is described in details in [1].
Our Linux kernel patches have been updated and committed by Nicolas
Pitre (Linaro) in July 2017. They are required so that the loader is
able to handle this new file type. Indeed, the ELF files are tagged
with ELFOSABI_ARM_FDPIC. This new tag has been allocated by ARM, as
well as the new relocations involved.
The binutils and QEMU patch series have been merged recently. [4][5]
To build such a toolchain, you'd also need to use my uClibc branch[6].
I am currently working on updating the patches for the remaining
toolchain components: uclibc and gdb.
This series provides support for ARM v7 architecture and has been
tested on arm-linux-gnueabi without regression, as well as
arm-uclinuxfdpiceabi, using QEMU. arm-uclinuxfdpiceabi has more
failures than arm-linux-gnueabi, but is quite functional.
GCC test results:

Are the GCC patches OK for inclusion in master?
Thanks,
