Hi!

On musl/hardened gcc-10 fails to build with lto. Without lto it builds and works

Comment 3 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-05-16 20:22:20 UTC
'libintl_dgettext' should probably be provided by ./../intl/libintl.a:dgettext.o.

But lto-dump says there is no such entry:

$ lto-dump -list build/intl/gettext.o
Type   Visibility  Size  Name
function  default     0  libintl_dcgettext
function  default     3  libintl_gettext

Only libintl_gettext is present.

$ lto-dump -dump-body=libintl_gettext build/intl/gettext.o
Gimple Body of Function: libintl_gettext
libintl_gettext (const char * msgid)
{
  <bb 2> [local count: 1073741824]:
  _4 = libintl_dcgettext (0B, msgid_2(D), 5);
  return _4;

}

I think it's a fancy LTO streaming bug. Only musl (and not glibc) is affected because it does not implement enough of gettext() interface and falls back to bundled intl implementation.

As a workaround you can try USE=-nls on gcc.

I'll check why LTO does not provide libintl_gettext object. Probably has something to do with K&R-style function declarations.
Comment 4 Georgy Yakovlev archtester gentoo-dev 2020-05-17 01:29:28 UTC
you should be using gcc from ::musl overlay btw, it contains some patches that are required for proper libdir(lib) support.

Absolutely no. Because the only reason I'm using musl right now is a special container to test my own packages with musl, since I received a bugreport and later found more problems. Supporting musl overlay for my stuff may mask problems with the musl profile in the main tree.

If you have important fixes in the musl overlay, please port them to the main tree using musl profile.

Saying to port stuff to tree is easy. We have tried to work with toolchain to add support in packages like gcc/binutils/lld. The profile are maintained by blueness and myself, the overlay just ensures your toolchain for musl is what is expected for us to offer support.

Now I somewhat get it. When stage2 is built we have 2 libintl.a files:
- intl/libintl.a: non-LTO objects, used by host gcc to build stage1
- prev-intl/libintl.a: lTO-only objects, user by host gcc to build stage2

When stage2 is linked it uses intl/libintl.a, which should work but does not.

If I use prev-intl/libintl.a explicitly linkage works fine.

Heh, it was the other way around:
- prev-intl/libintl.a was non-LTO build on a previous stage run
- intl/libintl.a is an LTO-only build

Both should be fine to use. The problem was in the caller, not in this archive. Specifically:

"""
ld: genmatch.ltrans2.ltrans.o: in function `main':
gcc-10.1.0/libcpp/files.c:1439: undefined reference to `libintl_dgettext'
ld: genmatch.ltrans3.ltrans.o: in function `cpp_diagnostic(cpp_reader*, cpp_diagnostic_level, cpp_warning_reason, char const*, __va_list_tag (*) [1])':
gcc-10.1.0/work/gcc-10.1.0/libcpp/errors.c:42: undefined reference to `libintl_dgettext'
"""

Here 'errors.c' calls out 'libintl_dgettext'. That symbol has unusual definition:

$ ../prev-gcc/lto-dump -list errors.o | fgrep dgettext
function  default     0  *libintl_dgettext
$ ../prev-gcc/lto-dump -demangle -list errors.o | fgrep dgettext
function  default     0  dgettext

It's an asm 'libintl_dgettext' alias of C 'dgettext' function defined as:

"""
extern char *dgettext (const char *__domainname, const char *__msgid)
       __asm__ ("" "libintl_dgettext")
       __attribute__ ((__format_arg__ (2)));
"""

If we loot at LTO's resolution file (generated with '-save-temps' extra gcc flag) we see that 'libintl_gettext' does not get retained. That is slightly confusing.

That is another case of incompatibility of LTO and asm aliases: https://gcc.gnu.org/PR48200

If you are brave try gcc-10.1.0-intl-no-asm-alias.patch patch. It should fall back to macros and inline functions instead of using asm aliases for gettext.

Thanks for the investigation and the patch! It works fine even with PGO, so now with USE="lto pgo" gcc builds and works fine.

    10.1.0: Trick libintl not to use '_INTL_REDIRECT_ASM' mode as it's
    incompatible with LTO builds.
    
    glibc does not normally use libintl implementations and uses
    it's own primitives. But musl ond others do fall back to libintl.

Queued for next 10.1.0 patchset. Will take some time to cut it.

Meanwhile you can drop a patch to /etc/portage/patches/.
