[LLD][AArch64] Increase alignment of AArch64AbsLongThunk to 8 (#133738) This permits an AArch64AbsLongThunk to be used in an environment where unaligned accesses are disabled. The AArch64AbsLongThunk does a load of an 8-byte address. When unaligned accesses are disabled this address must be 8-byte aligned. The vast majority of AArch64 systems will have unaligned accesses enabled in userspace. However, after a reset, before the MMU has been enabled, all memory accesses are to "device" memory, which requires aligned accesses. In systems with multi-stage boot loaders a thunk may be required to a later stage before the MMU has been enabled. As we only want to increase the alignment when the ldr is used we delay the increase in thunk alignment until we know we are going to write an ldr. We also need to account for the ThunkSection alignment increase when this happens. In some of the test updates, particularly those with shared CHECK lines with position independent thunks it was easier to ensure that the thunks started at an 8-byte aligned address in all cases.
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
