[PATCH v6 1/4] gas: ld: libsframe: Support for SFrame FDEs without any FREs

Jens Remus jremus@linux.ibm.com
Mon Sep 15 11:05:48 GMT 2025


Allow SFrame sections without any FREs, that can occur if they solely
contain FDEs without any FREs.  For FDEs without and FREs set the
offset to the first FRE to zero.

libsframe/
	* sframe.c (sframe_encoder_write_sframe): Allow SFrame sections
	without any FREs.  For FDEs without any FREs set the offset to
	the first FRE to zero.

gas/
	* gen-sframe.c (output_sframe_funcdesc): For FDEs without any
	FREs set the offset to the first FRE to zero.

Notes (jremus):
    Changes in V5:
    - Reword comments setting sfde_func_start_fre_off to zero. (Indu)
    
    Changes in V4:
    - Use ehp->sfh_num_fres instead of adding a new API to get the total
      number of FREs. (Indu)
    - Squash related assembler change from V3.
    - Reword commit subject and message.
    
    Changes in V3:
    - New patch.
