Description

Compiling with Clang works without -flto{,=thin}, compiling with GCC with LTO also works. It is purely -flto & Clang which introduces this issue.

Build version is 1.8.7. Build system is Gentoo ~amd64.

The errors are the following, repeated:

telans renamed this task from ligcrypt: build "error: invalid operand for instruction" when compiling with Clang & LTO to libgcrypt: build "error: invalid operand for instruction" when compiling with Clang & LTO.Jan 19 2021, 9:16 PM

telans created this task.

telans changed Version from 1.8.7 to 1.9.0.Jan 19 2021, 9:21 PM

Yes, clang + LTO is broken. Maybe there is issue in clang bug tracker for this already?

So is this about 1.8.7 or 1.9.0 (as shown in the Version field)?

• werner triaged this task as Normal priority.Jan 20 2021, 9:33 AM

• werner added projects: clang, libgcrypt, asm.

Both are affected. I updated to reflect that I tested the newer version

Breakage appears to happen in configure.ac. When building with clang without LTO following check gives "no":

checking whether GCC assembler is compatible for Intel syntax assembly implementations... no

But with "-flto" included in CFLAGS, same test gives "yes":

checking whether GCC assembler is compatible for Intel syntax assembly implementations... yes

There is few x86_64 assembly files in libgcrypt that use Intel syntax and those are not supported by clang (or clang does not support assembler macros used in those same assembly files). Now with "clang -flto" those get included to build and build fails. It would make sense to convert those Intel assembly files to AT&T syntax so that clang builds would benefit from optimized SHA256 & SHA512 implementations.

jukivili added a subtask: T5256: libgcrypt, convert Intel syntax x86_64 assembly files to AT&T syntax.Jan 20 2021, 1:24 PM

Clang support Intel syntax after all, but not assembler macros that were used. Here's two patches that fix the configure.ac issue and removes use of assembly macros in Intel syntax assembly files:

0001-configure.ac-fix-Intel-syntax-check-with-clang-flto.patch1 KBDownload

0002-sha512-sha256-remove-assembler-macros-from-AMD64-imp.patch109 KBDownload

Unfortunately these are not enough to enable building with clang LTO. Build now fails when linking test executables (libgcrypt.so gets build however):

Thanks for the patches, with them I can't replicate your linking issues strangely. It builds & links fine for me, thanks.

I've tried to reproduce it with -flto=thin, -flto, ld.bfd and ld.lld (my default linker) but they all link fine (version 1.9.0). My configure output looks like the same as yours.

libgcrypt-1.9.0-clang-lto.build.txt215 KBDownload

Problem was that my build system was selecting "ar" and "ranlib", where as your build system selects "llvm-ar" and "llvm-ranlib".

I got it building with:

AR="llvm-ar" RANLIB="llvm-ranlib" CC=clang CFLAGS="-O2 -flto" ../configure --enable-maintainer-mode

Should we add this to the hints in the README? After all this does not seem to be the standard system compiler or it has not been properly setup as replacement.

That might be helpful. But, on the other hand, if I had just googled the problem I was seeing I would have gotten answer quite fast.
