X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ebdcad3fddf6ec21f6d4dcc702379a12718cf0c4;p=binutils-gdb.git RISC-V: Improve multiple relax passes problem. According to the commit abd20cb637008da9d32018b4b03973e119388a0a, an intersting thing is that - the more relax passes, the more chances of relaxations are reduced [1]. Originally, we set the boolean `again` to TRUE once the code is actually deleted, and then we run the relaxations repeatedly if `again` is still TRUE. But `again` only works for the relax pass itself, and won't affect others. That is - we can not use `again` to re-run the relax pass when we already enter into the following passes (can not run the relax passes backwards). Besides, we must seperate the PCREL relaxations into two relax passes for some reasons [2], it make us lose some relax opportunities. This patch try to fix the problem, and the basic idea was come from Jim Wilson - we use a new boolean, restart_relax, to determine if we need to run the whole relax passes again from 0 to 2. Once we have deleted the code between relax pass 0 to 2, the restart_relax will be set to TRUE, we should run the whole relaxations again to give them more chances to shorten the code. We will only enter into the relax pass 3 when the restart_relax is FALSE, since we can't relax anything else once we start to handle the alignments. I have passed the gcc/binutils regressions by riscv-gnu-toolchain, and looks fine for now.
