MIPS: Keep the ISA bit in compressed code addresses

1. Background information

The MIPS architecture, as originally designed and implemented in
mid-1980s has a uniform instruction word size that is 4 bytes, naturally
aligned.  As such all MIPS instructions are located at addresses that
have their bits #1 and #0 set to zeroes, and any attempt to execute an
instruction from an address that has any of the two bits set to one
causes an address error exception.  This may for example happen when a
jump-register instruction is executed whose register value used as the
jump target has any of these bits set.

Then in mid 1990s LSI sought a way to improve code density for their
TinyRISC family of MIPS cores and invented an alternatively encoded
instruction set in a joint effort with MIPS Technologies (then a
subsidiary of SGI).  The new instruction set has been named the MIPS16
ASE (Application-Specific Extension) and uses a variable instruction
word size, which is 2 bytes (as the name of the ASE suggests) for most,
but there are a couple of exceptions that take 4 bytes, and then most of
the 2-byte instructions can be treated with a 2-byte extension prefix to
expand the range of the immediate operands used.

As a result instructions are no longer 4-byte aligned, instead they are
aligned to a multiple of 2.  That left the bit #0 still unused for code
references, be it for the standard MIPS (i.e. as originally invented) or
for the MIPS16 instruction set, and based on that observation a clever
trick was invented that on one hand allowed the processor to be
seamlessly switched between the two instruction sets at any time at the
run time while on the other avoided the introduction of any special
control register to do that.

So it is the bit #0 of the instruction address that was chosen as the
selector and named the ISA bit.  Any instruction executed at an even
address is interpreted as a standard MIPS instruction (the address still
has to have its bit #1 clear), any instruction executed at an odd
address is interpreted as a MIPS16 instruction.

To switch between modes ordinary jump instructions are used, such as
used for function calls and returns, specifically the bit #0 of the
source register used in jump-register instructions selects the execution
(ISA) mode for the following piece of code to be interpreted in.
Additionally new jump-immediate instructions were added that flipped the
ISA bit to select the opposite mode upon execution.  They were
considered necessary to avoid the need to make register jumps in all
cases as the original jump-immediate instructions provided no way to
change the bit #0 at all.

This was all important for cases where standard MIPS and MIPS16 code had
to be mixed, either for compatibility with the existing binary code base
or to access resources not reachable from MIPS16 code (the MIPS16
instruction set only provides access to general-purpose registers, and
not for example floating-point unit registers or privileged coprocessor
0 registers) -- pieces of code in the opposite mode can be executed as
ordinary subroutine calls.

A similar approach has been more recently adopted for the MIPS16
replacement instruction set defined as the so called microMIPS ASE.
This is another instruction set encoding introduced to the MIPS
architecture.  Just like the MIPS16 ASE, the microMIPS instruction set
uses a variable-length encoding, where each instruction takes a multiple
of 2 bytes.  The ISA bit has been reused and for microMIPS-capable
processors selects between the standard MIPS and the microMIPS mode
instead.

2. Statement of the problem

To put it shortly, MIPS16 and microMIPS code pointers used by GDB are
different to these observed at the run time.  This results in the same
expressions being evaluated producing different results in GDB and in
the program being debugged.  Obviously it's the results obtained at the
run time that are correct (they define how the program behaves) and
therefore by definition the results obtained in GDB are incorrect.

A bit longer description will record that obviously at the run time the
ISA bit has to be set correctly (refer to background information above
if unsure why so) or the program will not run as expected.  This is
recorded in all the executable file structures used at the run time: the
dynamic symbol table (but not always the static one!), the GOT, and
obviously in all the addresses embedded in code or data of the program
itself, calculated by applying the appropriate relocations at the static
link time.

While a program is being processed by GDB, the ISA bit is stripped off
from any code addresses, presumably to make them the same as the
respective raw memory byte address used by the processor to access the
instruction in the instruction fetch access cycle.  This stripping is
actually performed outside GDB proper, in BFD, specifically
_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing (elfxx-mips.c, see the piece of code at
the very bottom of that function, starting with an: "If this is an
odd-valued function symbol, assume it's a MIPS16 or microMIPS one."
comment).

This function is also responsible for symbol table dumps made by
`objdump' too, so you'll never see the ISA bit reported there by that
tool, you need to use `readelf'.

This is however unlike what is ever done at the run time, the ISA bit
once present is never stripped off, for example a cast like this:

(short *) main

will not strip the ISA bit off and if the resulting pointer is intended
to be used to access instructions as data, for example for software
instruction decoding (like for fault recovery or emulation in a signal
handler) or for self-modifying code then the bit still has to be
stripped off by an explicit AND operation.

This is probably best illustrated with a simple real program example.
Let's consider the following simple program:

$ cat foobar.c
int __attribute__ ((mips16)) foo (void)
{
  return 1;
}

int __attribute__ ((mips16)) bar (void)
{
  return 2;
}

int __attribute__ ((nomips16)) foo32 (void)
{
  return 3;
}

int (*foo32p) (void) = foo32;
int (*foop) (void) = foo;
int fooi = (int) foo;

int
main (void)
{
  return foop ();
}
$

This is plain C with no odd tricks, except from the instruction mode
attributes.  They are not necessary to trigger this problem, I just put
them here so that the program can be contained in a single source file
and to make it obvious which function is MIPS16 code and which is not.

Let's try it with Linux, so that everyone can repeat this experiment:

$ mips-linux-gnu-gcc -mips16 -g -O2 -o foobar foobar.c
$

Let's have a look at some interesting symbols:

$ mips-linux-gnu-readelf -s foobar | egrep 'table|foo|bar'
Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 7 entries:
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 95 entries:
    55: 00000000     0 FILE    LOCAL  DEFAULT  ABS foobar.c
    66: 0040068c     4 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT [MIPS16]    12 bar
    68: 00410848     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 foo32p
    70: 00410844     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 foop
    78: 00400684     8 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 foo32
    80: 00400680     4 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT [MIPS16]    12 foo
    88: 00410840     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 fooi
$

Hmm, no sight of the ISA bit, but notice how foo and bar (but not
foo32!) have been marked as MIPS16 functions (ELF symbol structure's
`st_other' field is used for that).

So let's try to run and poke at this program with GDB.  I'll be using a
native system for simplicity (I'll be using ellipses here and there to
remove unrelated clutter):

$ ./foobar
$ echo $?
1
$

So far, so good.

$ gdb ./foobar
[...]
(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400490: file foobar.c, line 23.
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar

Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23        return foop ();
(gdb)

Yay, it worked!  OK, so let's poke at it:

(gdb) print main
$1 = {int (void)} 0x400490 <main>
(gdb) print foo32
$2 = {int (void)} 0x400684 <foo32>
(gdb) print foo32p
$3 = (int (*)(void)) 0x400684 <foo32>
(gdb) print bar
$4 = {int (void)} 0x40068c <bar>
(gdb) print foo
$5 = {int (void)} 0x400680 <foo>
(gdb) print foop
$6 = (int (*)(void)) 0x400681 <foo>
(gdb)

A-ha!  Here's the difference and finally the ISA bit!

(gdb) print /x fooi
$7 = 0x400681
(gdb) p/x $pc
p/x $pc
$8 = 0x400491
(gdb)

And here as well...

(gdb) advance foo
foo () at foobar.c:4
4       }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function foo:
   0x00400680 <+0>:     jr      ra
   0x00400682 <+2>:     li      v0,1
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0  foo () at foobar.c:4
main () at foobar.c:24
24      }
Value returned is $9 = 1
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14103) exited with code 01]
(gdb)

So let's be a bit inquisitive...

(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar

Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23        return foop ();
(gdb)

Actually we do not like to run foo here at all.  Let's run bar instead!

(gdb) set foop = bar
(gdb) print foop
$10 = (int (*)(void)) 0x40068c <bar>
(gdb)

Hmm, no ISA bit.  Is it going to work?

(gdb) advance bar
bar () at foobar.c:9
9       }
(gdb) p/x $pc
$11 = 0x40068c
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function bar:
=> 0x0040068c <+0>:     jr      ra
   0x0040068e <+2>:     li      v0,2
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0  bar () at foobar.c:9

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
bar () at foobar.c:9
9       }
(gdb)

Oops!

(gdb) p/x $pc
$12 = 0x40068c
(gdb)

We're still there!

(gdb) continue
Continuing.

Program terminated with signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb)

So let's try something else:

(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar

Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23        return foop ();
(gdb) set foop = foo
(gdb) advance foo
foo () at foobar.c:4
4       }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function foo:
=> 0x00400680 <+0>:     jr      ra
   0x00400682 <+2>:     li      v0,1
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0  foo () at foobar.c:4

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
foo () at foobar.c:4
4       }
(gdb) continue
Continuing.

Program terminated with signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb)

The same problem!

(gdb) run
Starting program:
/net/build2-lucid-cs/scratch/macro/mips-linux-fsf-gcc/isa-bit/foobar

Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23        return foop ();
(gdb) set foop = foo32
(gdb) advance foo32
foo32 () at foobar.c:14
14      }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function foo32:
=> 0x00400684 <+0>:     jr      ra
   0x00400688 <+4>:     li      v0,3
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0  foo32 () at foobar.c:14
main () at foobar.c:24
24      }
Value returned is $14 = 3
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14113) exited with code 03]
(gdb)

That did work though, so it's the ISA bit only!

(gdb) quit

Enough!

That's the tip of the iceberg only though.  So let's rebuild the
executable with some dynamic symbols:

$ mips-linux-gnu-gcc -mips16 -Wl,--export-dynamic -g -O2 -o foobar-dyn foobar.c
$ mips-linux-gnu-readelf -s foobar-dyn | egrep 'table|foo|bar'
Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 32 entries:
     6: 004009cd     4 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 bar
     8: 00410b88     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 foo32p
     9: 00410b84     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 foop
    15: 004009c4     8 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 foo32
    17: 004009c1     4 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 foo
    25: 00410b80     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 fooi
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 95 entries:
    55: 00000000     0 FILE    LOCAL  DEFAULT  ABS foobar.c
    69: 004009cd     4 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 bar
    71: 00410b88     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 foo32p
    72: 00410b84     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 foop
    79: 004009c4     8 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 foo32
    81: 004009c1     4 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 foo
    89: 00410b80     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 fooi
$

OK, now the ISA bit is there for a change, but the MIPS16 `st_other'
attribute gone, hmm...  What does `objdump' do then:

$ mips-linux-gnu-objdump -Tt foobar-dyn | egrep 'SYMBOL|foo|bar'
foobar-dyn:     file format elf32-tradbigmips
SYMBOL TABLE:
00000000 l    df *ABS*  00000000              foobar.c

00410b88 g     O .data  00000004              foo32p
00410b84 g     O .data  00000004              foop

DYNAMIC SYMBOL TABLE:
004009cc g    DF .text  00000004  Base        0xf0 bar

00410b84 g    DO .data  00000004  Base        foop

00410b80 g    DO .data  00000004  Base        fooi
$

Hmm, the attribute (0xf0, printed raw) is back, and the ISA bit gone
again.

off a lot here for brevity) -- debug info:

-- a-ha, the ISA bit is there!  However it's not always right for some
reason, I don't have a small test case to show it, but here's an excerpt
from MIPS16 libc, a prologue of a function:

00019630 <__libc_init_first>:
   19630:       e8a0            jrc     ra

   1964e:       6724            move    s1,a0

and the corresponding DWARF-2 line info:

 Line Number Statements:

-- see that "Advance PC by constant 17" there?  It clears the ISA bit,
however code at 0x19646 is not standard MIPS code at all.  For some
reason the constant is always 17, I've never seen DW_LNS_const_add_pc
used with any other value -- is that a binutils bug or what?

3. Solution:

I think we should retain the value of the ISA bit in code references,
that is effectively treat them as cookies as they indeed are (although
trivially calculated) rather than raw memory byte addresses.

In a perfect world both the static symbol table and the respective
DWARF-2 records should be fixed to include the ISA bit in all the cases.
I think however that this is infeasible.

All the uses of `_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing' can not necessarily be
tracked down.  This function is used by `elf_slurp_symbol_table' that in
turn is used by `bfd_canonicalize_symtab' and
`bfd_canonicalize_dynamic_symtab', which are public interfaces.

Similarly DWARF-2 records are used outside GDB, one notable if a bit
questionable is the exception unwinder (libgcc/unwind-dw2.c) -- I have
identified at least bits in `execute_cfa_program' and
`uw_frame_state_for', both around the calls to `_Unwind_IsSignalFrame',
that would need an update as they effectively flip the ISA bit freely;
see also the comment about MASK_RETURN_ADDR in gcc/config/mips/mips.h.
But there may be more places.  Any change in how DWARF-2 records are
produced would require an update there and would cause compatibility
problems with libgcc.a binaries already distributed; given that this is
a static library a complex change involving function renames would
likely be required.

I propose therefore to accept the existing inconsistencies and deal with
them entirely within GDB.  I have figured out that the ISA bit lost in
various places can still be recovered as long as we have symbol
information -- that'll have the `st_other' attribute correctly set to
one of standard MIPS/MIPS16/microMIPS encoding.

Here's the resulting change.  It adds a couple of new `gdbarch' hooks,
one to update symbol information with the ISA bit lost in
`_bfd_mips_elf_symbol_processing', and two other ones to adjust DWARF-2
records as they're processed.  The ISA bit is set in each address
handled according to information retrieved from the symbol table for the
symbol spanning the address if any; limits are adjusted based on the
address they point to related to the respective base address.
Additionally minimal symbol information has to be adjusted accordingly
in its gdbarch hook.

With these changes in place some complications with ISA bit juggling in
the PC that never fully worked can be removed from the MIPS backend.
Conversely, the generic dynamic linker event special breakpoint symbol
handler has to be updated to call the minimal symbol gdbarch hook to
record that the symbol is a MIPS16 or microMIPS address if applicable or
the breakpoint will be set at the wrong address and either fail to work
or cause SIGTRAPs (this is because the symbol is handled early on and
bypasses regular symbol processing).

4. Results obtained

The change fixes the example above -- to repeat only the crucial steps:

(gdb) break main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x400491: file foobar.c, line 23.
(gdb) run
Starting program: .../foobar

Breakpoint 1, main () at foobar.c:23
23        return foop ();
(gdb) print foo
$1 = {int (void)} 0x400681 <foo>
(gdb) set foop = bar
(gdb) advance bar
bar () at foobar.c:9
9       }
(gdb) disassemble
Dump of assembler code for function bar:
=> 0x0040068d <+0>:     jr      ra
   0x0040068f <+2>:     li      v0,2
End of assembler dump.
(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0  bar () at foobar.c:9
main () at foobar.c:24
24      }
Value returned is $2 = 2
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 14128) exited with code 02]
(gdb)

-- excellent!

The change removes about 90 failures per MIPS16 multilib in mips-sde-elf
testing too, results for MIPS16 are now similar to that for standard
MIPS; microMIPS results are a bit worse because of host-I/O problems in
QEMU used instead of MIPSsim for microMIPS testing only:
