LLVM implemented a recent "libcall optimization" that lowers calls to `sprintf(dest, "%s", str)` where the return value is used to `stpcpy(dest, str) - dest`. This generally avoids the machinery involved in parsing format strings. `stpcpy` is just like `strcpy` except: 1. it returns the pointer to the new tail of `dest`. This allows you to chain multiple calls to `stpcpy` in one statement. 2. it requires the parameters not to overlap. Calling `sprintf` with overlapping arguments was clarified in ISO C99 and POSIX.1-2001 to be undefined behavior. `stpcpy` was first standardized in POSIX.1-2008. Implement this so that we don't observe linkage failures due to missing symbol definitions for `stpcpy`. Similar to last year's fire drill with: commit 5f074f3 ("lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp") This optimization was introduced into clang-12.

commit 1e1b6d63d6340764e00356873e5794225a2a03ea upstream.
LLVM implemented a recent "libcall optimization" that lowers calls to
`sprintf(dest, "%s", str)` where the return value is used to
`stpcpy(dest, str) - dest`.
This generally avoids the machinery involved in parsing format strings.
`stpcpy` is just like `strcpy` except it returns the pointer to the new
tail of `dest`. This optimization was introduced into clang-12.
Implement this so that we don't observe linkage failures due to missing
symbol definitions for `stpcpy`.
Similar to last year's fire drill with: commit 5f074f3e192f
("lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp")
The kernel is somewhere between a "freestanding" environment (no full
libc) and "hosted" environment (many symbols from libc exist with the
same type, function signature, and semantics).
As Peter Anvin notes, there's not really a great way to inform the
compiler that you're targeting a freestanding environment but would like
to opt-in to some libcall optimizations (see pr/47280 below), rather
than opt-out.
Arvind notes, -fno-builtin-* behaves slightly differently between GCC
and Clang, and Clang is missing many __builtin_* definitions, which I
consider a bug in Clang and am working on fixing.
Masahiro summarizes the subtle distinction between compilers justly:
To prevent transformation from foo() into bar(), there are two ways in
Clang to do that; -fno-builtin-foo, and -fno-builtin-bar. There is
only one in GCC; -fno-buitin-foo.
(Any difference in that behavior in Clang is likely a bug from a missing
__builtin_* definition.)
Masahiro also notes:
We want to disable optimization from foo() to bar(),
but we may still benefit from the optimization from
foo() into something else. If GCC implements the same transform, we
would run into a problem because it is not -fno-builtin-bar, but
-fno-builtin-foo that disables that optimization.
In this regard, -fno-builtin-foo would be more future-proof than
-fno-built-bar, but -fno-builtin-foo is still potentially overkill. We
may want to prevent calls from foo() being optimized into calls to
bar(), but we still may want other optimization on calls to foo().
It seems that compilers today don't quite provide the fine grain control
over which libcall optimizations pseudo-freestanding environments would
prefer.
Finally, Kees notes that this interface is unsafe, so we should not
encourage its use. As such, I've removed the declaration from any
header, but it still needs to be exported to avoid linkage errors in
modules.

Mar 13, 2021
LLVM implemented a recent "libcall optimization" that lowers calls to
`sprintf(dest, "%s", str)` where the return value is used to
`stpcpy(dest, str) - dest`. This generally avoids the machinery involved
in parsing format strings. `stpcpy` is just like `strcpy` except it
returns the pointer to the new tail of `dest`. This optimization was
introduced into clang-12.
Implement this so that we don't observe linkage failures due to missing
symbol definitions for `stpcpy`.
Similar to last year's fire drill with:
commit 5f074f3e192f ("lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp")
The kernel is somewhere between a "freestanding" environment (no full libc)
and "hosted" environment (many symbols from libc exist with the same
type, function signature, and semantics).
As H. Peter Anvin notes, there's not really a great way to inform the
compiler that you're targeting a freestanding environment but would like
to opt-in to some libcall optimizations (see pr/47280 below), rather than
opt-out.
Arvind notes, -fno-builtin-* behaves slightly differently between GCC
and Clang, and Clang is missing many __builtin_* definitions, which I
consider a bug in Clang and am working on fixing.
Masahiro summarizes the subtle distinction between compilers justly:
To prevent transformation from foo() into bar(), there are two ways in
Clang to do that; -fno-builtin-foo, and -fno-builtin-bar. There is
only one in GCC; -fno-buitin-foo.
(Any difference in that behavior in Clang is likely a bug from a missing
__builtin_* definition.)
Masahiro also notes:
We want to disable optimization from foo() to bar(),
but we may still benefit from the optimization from
foo() into something else. If GCC implements the same transform, we
would run into a problem because it is not -fno-builtin-bar, but
-fno-builtin-foo that disables that optimization.
In this regard, -fno-builtin-foo would be more future-proof than
-fno-built-bar, but -fno-builtin-foo is still potentially overkill. We
may want to prevent calls from foo() being optimized into calls to
bar(), but we still may want other optimization on calls to foo().
It seems that compilers today don't quite provide the fine grain control
over which libcall optimizations pseudo-freestanding environments would
prefer.
Finally, Kees notes that this interface is unsafe, so we should not
encourage its use. As such, I've removed the declaration from any
header, but it still needs to be exported to avoid linkage errors in
modules.

The kernel is somewhere between a "freestanding" environment (no full libc)

As H. Peter Anvin notes, there's not really a great way to inform the
compiler that you're targeting a freestanding environment but would like
to opt-in to some libcall optimizations (see pr/47280 below), rather than
opt-out.
Arvind notes, -fno-builtin-* behaves slightly differently between GCC
and Clang, and Clang is missing many __builtin_* definitions, which I
consider a bug in Clang and am working on fixing.
Masahiro summarizes the subtle distinction between compilers justly:
To prevent transformation from foo() into bar(), there are two ways in
Clang to do that; -fno-builtin-foo, and -fno-builtin-bar. There is
only one in GCC; -fno-buitin-foo.
(Any difference in that behavior in Clang is likely a bug from a missing
__builtin_* definition.)
Masahiro also notes:
We want to disable optimization from foo() to bar(),
but we may still benefit from the optimization from
foo() into something else. If GCC implements the same transform, we
would run into a problem because it is not -fno-builtin-bar, but
-fno-builtin-foo that disables that optimization.
In this regard, -fno-builtin-foo would be more future-proof than
-fno-built-bar, but -fno-builtin-foo is still potentially overkill. We
may want to prevent calls from foo() being optimized into calls to
bar(), but we still may want other optimization on calls to foo().
It seems that compilers today don't quite provide the fine grain control
over which libcall optimizations pseudo-freestanding environments would
prefer.
Finally, Kees notes that this interface is unsafe, so we should not
encourage its use. As such, I've removed the declaration from any
header, but it still needs to be exported to avoid linkage errors in
modules.

commit 1e1b6d63d6340764e00356873e5794225a2a03ea upstream.
LLVM implemented a recent "libcall optimization" that lowers calls to
`sprintf(dest, "%s", str)` where the return value is used to
`stpcpy(dest, str) - dest`.
This generally avoids the machinery involved in parsing format strings.
`stpcpy` is just like `strcpy` except it returns the pointer to the new
tail of `dest`. This optimization was introduced into clang-12.
Implement this so that we don't observe linkage failures due to missing
symbol definitions for `stpcpy`.

(Any difference in that behavior in Clang is likely a bug from a missing
__builtin_* definition.)
Masahiro also notes:
We want to disable optimization from foo() to bar(),
but we may still benefit from the optimization from
foo() into something else. If GCC implements the same transform, we
would run into a problem because it is not -fno-builtin-bar, but
-fno-builtin-foo that disables that optimization.
In this regard, -fno-builtin-foo would be more future-proof than
-fno-built-bar, but -fno-builtin-foo is still potentially overkill. We
may want to prevent calls from foo() being optimized into calls to
bar(), but we still may want other optimization on calls to foo().
It seems that compilers today don't quite provide the fine grain control
over which libcall optimizations pseudo-freestanding environments would
prefer.
Finally, Kees notes that this interface is unsafe, so we should not
encourage its use. As such, I've removed the declaration from any
header, but it still needs to be exported to avoid linkage errors in
modules.

commit 1e1b6d63d6340764e00356873e5794225a2a03ea upstream.
LLVM implemented a recent "libcall optimization" that lowers calls to
`sprintf(dest, "%s", str)` where the return value is used to
`stpcpy(dest, str) - dest`.
This generally avoids the machinery involved in parsing format strings.
`stpcpy` is just like `strcpy` except it returns the pointer to the new
tail of `dest`. This optimization was introduced into clang-12.
Implement this so that we don't observe linkage failures due to missing
symbol definitions for `stpcpy`.
Similar to last year's fire drill with: commit 5f074f3e192f
("lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp")
The kernel is somewhere between a "freestanding" environment (no full
libc) and "hosted" environment (many symbols from libc exist with the
same type, function signature, and semantics).
As Peter Anvin notes, there's not really a great way to inform the
compiler that you're targeting a freestanding environment but would like
to opt-in to some libcall optimizations (see pr/47280 below), rather
than opt-out.
Arvind notes, -fno-builtin-* behaves slightly differently between GCC
and Clang, and Clang is missing many __builtin_* definitions, which I
consider a bug in Clang and am working on fixing.
Masahiro summarizes the subtle distinction between compilers justly:
To prevent transformation from foo() into bar(), there are two ways in
Clang to do that; -fno-builtin-foo, and -fno-builtin-bar. There is
only one in GCC; -fno-buitin-foo.

LLVM implemented a recent "libcall optimization" that lowers calls to
`sprintf(dest, "%s", str)` where the return value is used to
`stpcpy(dest, str) - dest`. This generally avoids the machinery involved
in parsing format strings. This optimization was introduced into
clang-12. Because the kernel does not provide an implementation of
stpcpy, we observe linkage failures for almost all targets when building
with ToT clang.
The interface is unsafe as it does not perform any bounds checking.
Disable this "libcall optimization" via `-fno-builtin-stpcpy`.
Unlike
commit 5f074f3e192f ("lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp")
which cited failures with `-fno-builtin-*` flags being retained in LLVM
LTO, that bug seems to have been fixed by
https://reviews.llvm.org/D71193, so the above sha can now be reverted in
favor of `-fno-builtin-bcmp`.

commit 1e1b6d63d6340764e00356873e5794225a2a03ea upstream.
LLVM implemented a recent "libcall optimization" that lowers calls to
`sprintf(dest, "%s", str)` where the return value is used to
`stpcpy(dest, str) - dest`.
This generally avoids the machinery involved in parsing format strings.
`stpcpy` is just like `strcpy` except it returns the pointer to the new
tail of `dest`. This optimization was introduced into clang-12.
Implement this so that we don't observe linkage failures due to missing
symbol definitions for `stpcpy`.
Similar to last year's fire drill with: commit 5f074f3e192f
("lib/string.c: implement a basic bcmp")
The kernel is somewhere between a "freestanding" environment (no full
libc) and "hosted" environment (many symbols from libc exist with the
same type, function signature, and semantics).
As Peter Anvin notes, there's not really a great way to inform the
compiler that you're targeting a freestanding environment but would like
to opt-in to some libcall optimizations (see pr/47280 below), rather
than opt-out.
Arvind notes, -fno-builtin-* behaves slightly differently between GCC
and Clang, and Clang is missing many __builtin_* definitions, which I
consider a bug in Clang and am working on fixing.
Masahiro summarizes the subtle distinction between compilers justly:
To prevent transformation from foo() into bar(), there are two ways in
Clang to do that; -fno-builtin-foo, and -fno-builtin-bar. There is
only one in GCC; -fno-buitin-foo.
(Any difference in that behavior in Clang is likely a bug from a missing
__builtin_* definition.)
Masahiro also notes:
We want to disable optimization from foo() to bar(),
but we may still benefit from the optimization from
foo() into something else. If GCC implements the same transform, we
would run into a problem because it is not -fno-builtin-bar, but
-fno-builtin-foo that disables that optimization.
In this regard, -fno-builtin-foo would be more future-proof than
-fno-built-bar, but -fno-builtin-foo is still potentially overkill. We
may want to prevent calls from foo() being optimized into calls to
bar(), but we still may want other optimization on calls to foo().
It seems that compilers today don't quite provide the fine grain control
over which libcall optimizations pseudo-freestanding environments would
prefer.
Finally, Kees notes that this interface is unsafe, so we should not
encourage its use. As such, I've removed the declaration from any
header, but it still needs to be exported to avoid linkage errors in
modules.

@samitolvanen reported upstream that 6dbf0cfcf789365493f70ae69df8a7a59be41c75 is breaking builds by lowering calls
sprintf(dst, "%s", str) -> strcpy(dst, str)patch:
From e1a2727a16d8b417ed5ba70c12642741b544e80c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2020 16:55:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] lib/string.c: implement stpcpy The tricksters over at LLVM implemented a recent "libcall optimization" that lowers calls to `sprintf(dst, "%s", str)` where the return value is used to `stpcpy(dest, str) - dest`. This generally avoids the machinery involved in parsing format strings. `stpcpy` is just like `strcpy` except: 1. it returns the pointer to the new tail of `dest`. This allows you to chain multiple calls to `stpcpy` in one statement. 2. it requires the parameters not to overlap. Calling `sprintf` with overlapping arguments was clarified in ISO C99 and POSIX.1-2001 to be undefined behavior. `stpcpy` was first standardized in POSIX.1-2008. Implement this so that we don't observe linkage failures due to missing symbol definitions for `stpcpy`.
