This fixes two problems: minimum symbol alignment for the LARL
instruction, and alignment requirements for LRL/LGRL etc.
The first problem is that the LARL instruction used to load a
symbol address (PC relative) requires that the target symbol
is at least 2-byte aligned. This is always guaranteed for code
symbols (all instructions must be 2-aligned anyway), but not
necessarily for data symbols.
Other s390x compilers fix this problem by ensuring that all
global symbols are always emitted with a minimum 2-byte
alignment. This patch introduces an equivalent mechanism
for cranelift:
- Add a symbol_alignment routine to TargetIsa, similar to the
existing code_section_alignment routine.
- Respect symbol_alignment as minimum alignment for all symbols
emitted in the object backend (code and data).
The second problem is that PC-relative instructions that
directly *access* data (like LRL/LGRL, STRL/STGRL etc.)
not only have the 2-byte requirement like LARL, but actually
require that their memory operand is *naturally* aligned
(i.e. alignment is at least the size of the access).
This property (natural alignment for memory accesses) is
supposed to be provided by the "aligned" flag in MemFlags;
however, this is not implemented correctly at the moment.
To fix this, this patch:
- Only emits PC-relative memory access instructions if the
"aligned" flag is set in the associated MemFlags.
- Fixes a bug in emit_small_memory_copy and emit_small_memset
which currently set the aligned flag unconditionally, ignoring
the actual alignment info passed by their caller.
Tested with wasmtime and cg_clif.
