If a class references a field or method as static and we find it's
actually non-static -- or vice-versa -- we ought to throw an error
rather than abort.
The usage statement for the bootimage-generator now looks like this:
build/linux-x86_64-bootimage/bootimage-generator \
-cp <classpath> \
-bootimage <bootimage file> \
-codeimage <codeimage file> \
[-entry <class name>[.<method name>[<method spec>]]] \
[-bootimage-symbols <start symbol name>:<end symbol name>] \
[-codeimage-symbols <start symbol name>:<end symbol name>]
The first problem was that, on x86, we failed to properly keep track
of whether to expect the return address to be on the stack or not when
unwinding through a frame. We were relying on a "stackLimit" pointer
to tell us whether we were looking at the most recently-called frame
by comparing it with the stack pointer for that frame. That was
inaccurate in the case of a thread executing at the beginning of a
method before a new frame is allocated, in which case the most recent
two frames share a stack pointer, confusing the unwinder. The
solution involves keeping track of how many frames we've looked at
while walking the stack.
The other problem was that compareIpToMethodBounds assumed every
method was followed by at least one byte of padding before the next
method started. That assumption was usually valid because we were
storing the size following method code prior to the code itself.
However, the last method of an AOT-compiled code image is not followed
by any such method header and may instead be followed directly by
native code with no intervening padding. In that case, we risk
interpreting that native code as part of the preceding method, with
potentially bizarre results.
The reason for the compareIpToMethodBounds assumption was that methods
which throw exceptions as their last instruction generate a
non-returning call, which nonetheless push a return address on the
stack which points past the end of the method, and the unwinder needs
to know that return address belongs to that method. A better solution
is to add an extra trap instruction to the end of such methods, which
is what this patch does.
For some reason, Cygwin's MinGW-W64 compilers end up pulling in our
version of process.h from unistd.h. That doesn't really make sense --
it should use the one from the sysroot, but we can work around it by
just not including unistd.h, since it's not needed on Windows anyway.
It seems that GCC 4.6.1 gets confused at LTO time when we take the
address of inline functions, so I'm switching them to non-inline
linkage to make it happy.
When link time optimization is enabled, we need to remind the compiler
that we're targeting i586 when linking so it can resolve atomic
operations like __sync_bool_compare_and_swap.
We've already been handling this case in arm.cpp and powerpc.cpp, but
apparently we've never hit this code path in x86.cpp before. Indeed,
I've been unable to come up with a Java source code test that hits it;
it's only come up in Scala-generated bytecode.
