We got a report from the linux-arm-kernel folks about getting spurious warnings when building the kernel with binutils 2.29. See https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg599929.html which boils down to this testcase. $> cat /tmp/tst.s lr .req x30 /tmp/tst.s: Assembler messages:/tmp/tst.s:1: Warning: ignoring attempt to redefine built-in register 'lr'
Instead let's treat this as a proper alias at startup time thus avoiding the problem and treating these as proper aliases rather than new registers. This means that attempts to redefine the alias with the same "name" will provoke no warning and attempts to redefine the alias to something else will provoke the above mentioned warning. Tested make check-gas and no regressions. Ok to apply to trunk (and backport to 2.29 branch)? Regards Ramana * config/tc-aarch64.c (REGDEF_ALIAS): Define (reg_names): Update for ip0, ip1, fp, lr to use REGDEF_ALIAS * doc/c-aarch64.texi: Update documentation on .req. * testsuite/gas/diagnostic.s: Update * testsuite/gas/diagnostic.l: Likewise * testsuite/gas/register_aliases.s: New file. * testsuite/gas/register_aliases.d: New file.
