Some times gcc may generate data that is then used within code that may
be part of an efi runtime section. That data could be jump tables,
constants or strings.

In order to make sure we catch these, we need to ensure that gcc emits
them into a section that we can relocate together with all the other
efi runtime bits. This only works if the -ffunction-sections and
-fdata-sections flags are passed and the efi runtime functions are
in a section that starts with ".text".

Up to now we had all efi runtime bits in sections that did not
interfere with the normal section naming scheme, but this forces
us to do so. Hence we need to move the efi_loader text/data/rodata
sections before the global *(.text*) catch-all section.

With this patch in place, we should hopefully have an easier time
to extend the efi runtime functionality in the future.

Thanks, applied to efi-next

I missed this at the time, probably thinking the subject made it sound
innocuous. There is no 'sandbox:' tag.

This seems to break sandbox in a pretty strange way:

 gdb --args /tmp/crosfw/sandbox/u-boot -D

Also the commit message suggests that this patch changes sandbox to
use --gc-sections, which is not obvious from the subject. I think that
should be a separate commit and in fact it should really be separate
commits for each arch, I think. That might help people notice it...

I only noticed now since the EFI pull request has landed.

Hopefully there is no impact on all the x86 builds.

Regards,
Simon

Can you try my bss patch really quick? Maybe we're just overwriting gd.

This patch breaks efi-x86_app_defconfig. The EFI application no longer
boots. I was testing on top of u-boot/master.

If I do:

diff --git a/arch/x86/config.mk b/arch/x86/config.mk
index 586e11a..fc119ec 100644
--- a/arch/x86/config.mk
+++ b/arch/x86/config.mk
@@ -24,7 +24,6 @@ endif
 ifeq ($(IS_32BIT),y)
 PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += -march=i386 -m32
 # TODO: These break on x86_64; need to debug further
-PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += -fdata-sections
 else
 PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += $(if $(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD),,-fpic) -fno-common -m64
 endif

Then it boots again. Can you please take a look?

Regards,
Bin

I would like to revert the sandbox changes at least. I don't want to
enable -ffunction-sections, for example.

Could you please explain why? In general I always thought the sandbox
target was meant as debugging aid which allows you to find and debug
bugs more easily.

I would assume that chances for breakage are higher with function and
data sections, because the linker could remove code it considers dead?
So for a debugging target, I would think it makes sense to have it
enabled rather than disabled.

I too am puzzled.  If it's discarded it wasn't in use.  It also makes
sandbox match all of the rest of the platforms so further aids in
debugging/testing/consistency.

Yes I think removing dead could could cause problems. But so could not
garbage-collecting sections, so it is not a great argument. Sandbox is
targeted at building as much code as possible. Ideally every piece of
non-arch-specific code should be built with sandbox.

Maybe I am being conservative, but I see no reason to enable it for
sandbox. I'll try to think of some better reasons and reply if I can.
I also feel that it slipped in under the radar with no review.

I feel like this is the argument we had about enabling gc on other
platforms.  gc'ing dead code cannot cause problems that aren't real
bugs.  In fact, if we build something and it results in dead code that
we don't expect to be dead that is a problem.  We have everything else
doing this collection so I think we do want sandbox to match.

This is something I want to be sensitive to.  If you really want this
change to go in for v2018.11, OK, it's your arch.  But I really think we
should move sandbox in this direction for consistency with all the
hardware platforms.

Fair enough, this is the consistency argument that Alex made also. I
do understand that. Sandbox does potentially have a wider toolchain
target, since it uses whatever is installed on the machine, and
apparently runs on non-Linux devices. I suppose toolchains that people
use handle this reliably now.

At the least I would like a revert followed by a patch to change
sandbox over. The commit that changed this is titled:

    efi_loader: Rename sections to allow for implicit data

It does not have a sandbox: tag, nor does it mention the compiler flag
changes. No one would guess that this major change is happening. It
broke x86 and I am not yet confident that sandbox still functions
correctly.

I would be happier if the second patch went in for the next release,
but if we really are not seeing problems, then OK.

Simon

Yes, this is something that toolchains get right and have been getting
right for a long while now.  Honestly, I didn't realize that sandbox
wasn't doing this already or I would have brought it up.

OK, now I'm trying to see what we need to do next.  Regardless of Alex's
current EFI PR, we have 7e21fbca26d1 ("efi_loader: Rename sections to
allow for implicit data") in master.  Looking at the PR, I see that it
does turn on -fdata-sections on x86, and that Bin reviewed/tested it.
So I'm going to push the PR there shortly.

If, for sandbox you want to backout --gc-sections now (the commit
message does spell out that we need -ffunction/data-sections and what
for) and re-introduce that for the next release please post the patches
and I'll grab the backout one and apply it (or post it then PR it if
you'd rather, that's fine too).

Thanks all!

I'd like to back out all of the compilel/link flag changes:

Here is my patch:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/954875/

Then I would like to get the sandbox EFI stuff reviewed by Alex, and
get that applied when the merge window opens. I can bring it in via
sandbox but I do want Alex to look at it. It has been waiting for two
releases and I want to avoid any more barriers to this work.
Herinrich's testing work is excellent, but having sandbox able to
actually run apps is a good step forward I think.

Simon

If you go down that path, please align the subject of that commit with
what it does, e.g., s/Revert/Partially revert/. Otherwise it is terribly
confusing for users that don't care about sandbox.

With a slight subject reword, should I grab this patch now then?

Yes I agree, sorry. I did a full revert and then changed it because I
figured the only real problem I had was with sandbox.

That's fine with me.
