As reported at https://github.com/loongson-community/discussions/issues/47, 64KiB configuration currently does not work at all because ld sets an insufficient alignment in the program header: LOAD 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000850 0x0000000000000850 R E 0x4000 LOAD 0x0000000000003df8 0x0000000000007df8 0x0000000000007df8 0x0000000000000230 0x0000000000000238 RW 0x4000 So to me we should either raise the alignment to 0x10000, or remove the 64 KiB page support to simplify the code everywhere.

But still we should try to work around it on the Glibc side. Otherwise even if we fix it for GCC we'd still need to raise the required GCC version to the leading edge, and doing so is bad for users and distro maintainers. > --- > sysdeps/loongarch/bits/pagesize.h | 2 ++ > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) > create mode 100644 sysdeps/loongarch/bits/pagesize.h > > diff --git a/sysdeps/loongarch/bits/pagesize.h > b/sysdeps/loongarch/bits/pagesize.h > new file mode 100644 > index 0000000000..cd688d3fb0 > --- /dev/null > +++ b/sysdeps/loongarch/bits/pagesize.h > @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ > +#define __GLIBC_PAGE_SHIFT_MIN 12 > +#define __GLIBC_PAGE_SHIFT_MAX 16

I think it's more important that the lower 16 bits of the file offset and the virtual address are the same. The alignment should actuallt be 4 KiB, otherwise the glibc loader will do extra work on 4 KiB machines because it cannot know if the alignment really has to be 16 KiB (or 64 KiB), or if it's just a toolchain default. > How do you think? On the glibc side, there is only a simplification if there's just one page size to support. It doesn't make a difference if there are two, three, or more. >> Note: The entire series runs into a GCC compilation problem on >> LoongArch, which appears to be a GCC bug: >> >> Section type conflict on loongarch with .data.rel.ro section attribute >> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116887 > > I'm taking a look.

Hmm interesting. AArch64 (where the kernel also supports 4, 16, 64 KiB pages, and 4 KiB is the most common setting except Apple M1) ld produces 0x10000 here. > > How do you think? > > On the glibc side, there is only a simplification if there's just one > page size to support.

I've posted a diff (it should just work while I don't really understand why other ports don't need it) on the GCC PR, so I guess at least we'll be able to wrap this with #if __GNUC_PREREQ.
