Subject: [PATCH master 0/3] Fix GCC 11 THUMB2 relocate_to_current_adr miscompile
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2022 11:03:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221013090352.562170-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)

TL;DR: GCC can prove that variables aren't supposed to overlap and as
such it generated code than readded get_runtime_offset() on top of an
already relocated linker-defined variable's address.
See PATCH 2/3 for a disassembly of the affected code. Board code can
be similarly micompiled, but that's a fix for another day.

I am not so sure about the name of the new macro. I chose
get_unrelocated for similarity with get_unaligned, but it doesn't
dereference the argument, just get its address. Looking at it that way,
it's just a UB-infested way to say & (address-of). Perhaps just
call it runtime_address()? After all, it works before and after
relocation. We can change that later though, once I get around
to patch board entry points.
