[llvm] r227411 - [LPM] Clean up the use of TLS in pretty stack trace and disable it

[Kristof Beyls]

For AArch64, clang produces relocations for TLS variables that ld.bfd or ld.gold can’t handle.

It seems that gcc, ld and gas only support the “small memory model 16Mib TLS address model”,
and AFAIK, it may take a while for these to grow support for other address models.

 

I haven’t had time to come fully up to speed on this, but at the moment, the only workable
solution I can think of is to:

·         Not use thread_local variables in LLVM for the 3.6 release on AArch64, so that clang 3.6
can bootstrap itself on AArch64-linux.

·         On trunk, let clang targeting AArch64-ELF systems only produce the relocations that ld supports.
At first sight that seems possible, but I’m not sure.

 

Does anyone have a better set of suggestions than the above?

 

Thanks,

 

Kristof

I'm still waiting for some of the dust to settle with ppc and arm. I'll have a list before long and can help merge.

I assume we want this (and r227412) for the 3.6 branch. Any others?
