Title:
Floating-point assembly and disassembly bugs on armel
Status in Linaro Binutils:
Fix Released
Status in “binutils” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: binutils
Distro: lucid
Package: binutils (2.20-5ubuntu1)
Architecture: armel
Two low-priority issues here:
1) gas wrongly accepts an address index for the NEON element loads and
stores VLD1, VST2 etc. gas also wrongly accepts e.g., vld1 d0,
<label> (where <label> is a local literal label and implies [pc, <some
offset>]).
There is no instruction encoding allowing an offset in these
instructions: gas should throw an error.
2) binutils incorrectly annotates the target address when
disassembling pc-relative vldr instructions in Thumb-2. The
annotation is done as if the CPU did not align PC down to a word
boundary before doing the address calculation; however, the assembled
code looks correct.
The same problem might apply to other 32-bit instruction encodings,
bit I'm not aware of any except for vldr and vstr at the moment (pc-
relative vstr is not permitted in Thumb-2 by the architecture and
should possibly be rejected by the assembler).
See the attached file for a test case.
I get:
$ as -mfpu=neon -o vldr-dis.o vldr-dis.s
$ objdump -d vldr-dis.o
...
Disassembly of section .text:

^^ should be ... ; 3c <float>; however, use of the pc as base register is not
permitted in Thumb; gas should probably reject this instruction.
