While building code like $ echo 'svc 0' > /tmp/x.s $ arm-linux-gnueabi-as -mcpu=cortex-m3 /tmp/x.s /tmp/x.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/x.s:1: Error: SVC is not permitted on this architecture 'svc' is a valid operation on Cortex-M3 cpus and code was accepted by previous binutils version. Report is against 63afe4ed46b5b8c21445192c9046d1c3de2859ec
I have the same issue while compiling freertos for cortex-m3 (that uses the 'svc 0' instruction) with binutils 2.21: "Error: SVC is not permitted on this architecture" building with binutils 2.20.1 works fine.
Created attachment 5340 [details] update ARM_AEXT_V7_ARM macro to include ARM_OS_EXT flag This also affects target arm-none-eabi. Like Claudio, I am also trying to compile FreeRTOS. It looks like the v7 processor profile (which the Cortex-M3 is an example of) neglects to mark the "os" extension as being available. I attached a diff against CVS that fixes this issue for me. The patch updates the ARM_AEXT_V7_ARM macro to also include the ARM_OS_EXT flag. I believe that all v7 processors have the SVC instruction (based on the v7-M and v7-AR reference manuals). $ echo 'svc 0' > /tmp/x.s $ arm-none-eabi-as -mcpu=cortex-m3 /tmp/x.s -o /tmp/x.o $ arm-none-eabi-objdump -d /tmp/x.o /tmp/x.o: file format elf32-littlearm Disassembly of section .text: 00000000 <.text>: 0: df00 svc 0
(In reply to comment #2) > It looks like the v7 processor profile (which the Cortex-M3 is an example of) > neglects to mark the "os" extension as being available. This is indeed the case. Mistake on my part when creating the initial patch. Please submit a patch - with testcase - to the binutils mailing list.
Created attachment 5347 [details] Mark ARMv7 as having OS extension, add testcase, fix 1/5 regressions The previous patch introduced 5 test failure regressions. Failure #1: The patch somehow changed the armv7 attr table to include a new line, "Tag_CPU_arch_profile: Microcontroller". This new patch modifies the expect script to allow this change, but I don't know if this is correct behavior. Failures #2-5: Instructions of the form "msr APSR_<bits>,<imm|reg>" now generate syntax errors. Previously, using an immediate for the operand would generate a different error that was explicitly checked for, and registers as the second operand would assemble into valid instructions. I spent some time with it (I think the problem manifests in parse_operands(), but probably doesn't originate there) but this takes more effort that I can commit to figure out what is going wrong. This patch makes no attempt to fix these problems. Finally, this patch enhances a testcase to verify the svc instruction compiles correctly.
