  [Previous thread:
 https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-December/608162.html]

There are many places in GCC where alternative local sequences are
tried in order to determine what is the cheapest or best alternative
to use in the current target.  When any of these sequences involve a
libcall, the current implementation of emit_library_call_value_1
introduce a side-effect consisting on emitting an external declaration
for the funcall (such as __divdi3) which is thus emitted even if the
sequence that does the libcall is not retained.

This is problematic in targets such as BPF, because the kernel loader
chokes on the spurious symbol __divdi3 and makes the resulting BPF
object unloadable.  Note that BPF objects are not linked before being
loaded.

This patch changes emit_library_call_value_1 to mark the target
SYMBOL_REF as a libcall.  Then, the emission of the external
declaration is done in the first loop of final.cc:shorten_branches.
This happens only if the corresponding sequence has been kept.

Regtested in x86_64-linux-gnu.
Tested with host x86_64-linux-gnu with target bpf-unknown-none.

gcc/ChangeLog

	* rtl.h: New flag is_libcall.
	(SYMBOL_REF_LIBCALL): Define.
	* calls.cc (emit_library_call_value_1): Do not emit external
	libcall declaration here.
	* final.cc (shorten_branches): Do it here.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog

	* gcc.target/bpf/divmod-libcall-1.c: New test.
	* gcc.target/bpf/divmod-libcall-2.c: Likewise.

I'd say the forward declaration should go before the function comment, so
that it is clear the function comment talks about shorten_branches.

When all conditions don't fit on one line, each && condition should be on
its own line.

This won't work if target can't use a direct call instruction.
Consider
__int128 a, b; void foo () { a = a / b; }
on x86_64-linux.  With just -O2, the above works fine, with
-O2 -mcmodel=large it will not, the call is indirect, but at least one has
REG_CALL_DECL note that could be used as fallback to the above.
And with -O0 -mcmodel=large because flag_ipa_ra is false REG_CALL_DECL isn't
emitted at all.
So, perhaps you could emit the REG_CALL_DECL note even if !flag_ipa_ra
when SYMBOL_REF_LIBCALL is set?

This is wrong.  struct rtx_def is carefully designed such that
it has 16 + 8 + 8 bits before the union is 32-bit and then
flexible array member which sometimes needs 64-bit alignment.
So, the above change would grow all RTX by 64 bits.
I think jump, call and in_struct are unused on SYMBOL_REF, so just
document the new meaning of the chosen bit for SYMBOL_REF.

And change is_libcall to the selected bit-field here.

Hi Jakub.
Thanks for the review.

Hmm something like this?

(I am aware that as things stand in emit_library_call_value_1 that
 conditional will be always true, but I think it is good to keep the
 conditional as documentation and in case emit_library_call_value_1
 changes in the future.  Note also that `fun' is known to be `orgfun'
 when the bit it set.  That may change later as per
 prepare_call_address.)

Ok good to know.  I will use `call' 8-)
