Interrupt attribute
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Clang supports the GNU style ``__attribute__((interrupt("TYPE")))`` attribute on
ARM targets. This attribute may be attached to a function definition and
instructs the backend to generate appropriate function entry/exit code so that
it can be used directly as an interrupt service routine.
The parameter passed to the interrupt attribute is optional, but if
provided it must be a string literal with one of the following values: "IRQ",
"FIQ", "SWI", "ABORT", "UNDEF".
The semantics are as follows:
- If the function is AAPCS, Clang instructs the backend to realign the stack to
8 bytes on entry. This is a general requirement of the AAPCS at public
interfaces, but may not hold when an exception is taken. Doing this allows
other AAPCS functions to be called.
- If the CPU is M-class this is all that needs to be done since the architecture
itself is designed in such a way that functions obeying the normal AAPCS ABI
constraints are valid exception handlers.
- If the CPU is not M-class, the prologue and epilogue are modified to save all
non-banked registers that are used, so that upon return the user-mode state
will not be corrupted. Note that to avoid unnecessary overhead, only
general-purpose (integer) registers are saved in this way. If VFP operations
are needed, that state must be saved manually.
Specifically, interrupt kinds other than "FIQ" will save all core registers
except "lr" and "sp". "FIQ" interrupts will save r0-r7.
- If the CPU is not M-class, the return instruction is changed to one of the
canonical sequences permitted by the architecture for exception return. Where
possible the function itself will make the necessary "lr" adjustments so that
the "preferred return address" is selected.
Unfortunately the compiler is unable to make this guarantee for an "UNDEF"
handler, where the offset from "lr" to the preferred return address depends on
the execution state of the code which generated the exception. In this case
a sequence equivalent to "movs pc, lr" will be used.
