From 27f7fb79d27bd4a4a7f04d4970c06e9050a6564e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Huber Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2020 17:47:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] gcov: Add -fprofile-info-section support Register the profile information in the specified section instead of using a constructor/destructor. A pointer to the profile information generated by -fprofile-arcs or -ftest-coverage is placed in the specified section for each translation unit. This option disables the profile information registration through a constructor and it disables the profile information processing through a destructor. I am not sure how I can test this option. One approach would be to assemble a test file, then scan it and check that a .gcov_info section is present and no __gcov_init() and __gcov_exit() calls are present. Is there an example for this in the test suite? gcc/ * common.opt (fprofile-info-section): New. * coverage.c (build_gcov_info_var_registration): New. (coverage_obj_init): Evaluate profile_info_section and use build_gcov_info_var_registration(). * doc/invoke.texi (fprofile-info-section): Document. * opts.c (common_handle_option): Process fprofile-info-section option. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gcc.dg/profile-info-section.c: New test. --- gcc/common.opt | 8 ++++++ gcc/coverage.c | 28 ++++++++++++++++++-- gcc/doc/invoke.texi | 29 +++++++++++++++++++++ gcc/opts.c | 4 +++ gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/profile-info-section.c | 20 ++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 87 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/profile-info-section.c diff --git a/gcc/common.opt b/gcc/common.opt index 9552cebe0d6..fe39b3dee9f 100644 --- a/gcc/common.opt +++ b/gcc/common.opt @@ -2272,6 +2272,14 @@ fprofile-generate= Common Joined RejectNegative Enable common options for generating profile info for profile feedback directed optimizations, and set -fprofile-dir=. +fprofile-info-section +Common RejectNegative +Register the profile information in the .gcov_info section instead of using a constructor/destructor. + +fprofile-info-section= +Common Joined RejectNegative Var(profile_info_section) +Register the profile information in the specified section instead of using a constructor/destructor. + fprofile-partial-training Common Report Var(flag_profile_partial_training) Optimization Do not assume that functions never executed during the train run are cold. diff --git a/gcc/coverage.c b/gcc/coverage.c index 7711412c3be..d299e48d591 100644 --- a/gcc/coverage.c +++ b/gcc/coverage.c @@ -1097,6 +1097,25 @@ build_gcov_exit_decl (void) cgraph_build_static_cdtor ('D', dtor, priority); } +/* Generate the pointer to the gcov_info_var in a dedicated section. */ + +static void +build_gcov_info_var_registration (tree gcov_info_type) +{ + tree var = build_decl (BUILTINS_LOCATION, + VAR_DECL, NULL_TREE, + build_pointer_type (gcov_info_type)); + TREE_STATIC (var) = 1; + TREE_READONLY (var) = 1; + char name_buf[32]; + ASM_GENERATE_INTERNAL_LABEL (name_buf, "LPBX", 2); + DECL_NAME (var) = get_identifier (name_buf); + get_section (profile_info_section, SECTION_UNNAMED, NULL); + set_decl_section_name (var, profile_info_section); + DECL_INITIAL (var) = build_fold_addr_expr (gcov_info_var); + varpool_node::finalize_decl (var); +} + /* Create the gcov_info types and object.
