[PATCH] target/nios2: Pass semihosting arg to exit
Posted by Keith Packard via 9 months ago
Instead of using the function number (which is always zero), fetch the
application-provided exit code argument and pass that to the two exit
functions.

The spec
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=blob;f=libgloss/nios2/nios2-semi.txt;hb=HEAD

says that for HOSTED_EXIT the exit code is in r5,
not in a parameter block pointed to by r5. That
would imply that the correct change is to use
R_ARG1 rather than R_ARG0 here.

Ah, thanks -- I hadn't managed to find the actual standard yet. I'll
resubmit with that fixed.

Yeah, the closest to a "standard" we have for nios2 is that
I asked the Codesourcery folks to document it in the libgloss
sources and put the URL to it in a comment at the top of
nios2-semi.c, given that there's no official spec and the
original and main guest-side user is libgloss.
m68k is in a similar position only without the URL
in our source file :-)

Yeah, we had the same ask when getting risc-v semihosting merged. For
that, I actually pushed through an "official" risc-v standard. I kinda
wish I'd used the m68k model instead of the arm model as that provides
simple POSIX semantics...

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff in the Arm semihosting API
that I wouldn't put in there for a from-new version
that didn't need to handle legacy guests. Notably the
"errno" concept is badly underspecified and/or broken.
On an architecture with a decent number of registers
it would probably also make sense to use them rather
than having every single call put its args in memory.

thanks
