New IRC Channel for Linaro Toolchain Working Group

by Matthew Gretton-Dann

All, During Connect the suggestion was made that each working group should have its own IRC Channel for discussions and topics relating to the group in particular (as opposed to #linaro which is 'generic' Linaro conversations). Therefore I have just set up #linaro-tcwg on Freenode for the Toolchain Working Group. This channel is public and open to anyone who wants to talk with the TCWG group about anything toolchain related. Thanks, Matt -- Matthew Gretton-Dann Toolchain Working Group, Linaro

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Toolchain Binaries 2013.07 released

by Zhenqiang Chen

The Linaro Toolchain and Platform Working Groups are pleased to announce the 2013.07 release of the Linaro Toolchain Binaries, a pre-built version of Linaro GCC and Linaro GDB that runs on generic Linux or Windows and targets the glibc Linaro Evaluation Build. Uses include: * Cross compiling ARM applications from your laptop * Remote debugging * Build the Linux kernel for your board What's included: * Linaro GCC 4.8 2013.07-1 * Linaro Newlib 2.0 2013.06 * Linaro Binutils 2.23 2013.06 * Linaro Eglibc 2.17-2013.07-2 * Linaro GDB 7.6 2013.05 * A statically linked gdbserver * A system root * Manuals under share/doc/ The system root contains the basic header files and libraries to link your programs against. Interesting changes include: * The sysroot is based on Linaro versions of Eglibc. About details of Linaro Eglibc, please refer https://releases.linaro.org/13.07/components/toolchain/eglibc-linaro. The Linux version is supported on Ubuntu 10.04.3 and 12.04, Debian 6.0.2, Fedora 16, openSUSE 12.1, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 5.7 and later, and should run on any Linux Standard Base 3.0 compatible distribution. Please see the README about running on x86_64 hosts. The Windows version is supported on Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows Vista Business SP2, and Windows 7 Pro SP1. The binaries and build scripts are available from: https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/trunk/2013.07 Need help? Ask a question on https://ask.linaro.org/ Already on Launchpad? Submit a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries On IRC? See us on #linaro on Freenode. Other ways that you can contact us or get involved are listed at https://wiki.linaro.org/GettingInvolved. Know issues: * Some version information in README are incorrect. * gdb can not backtrace into libc. Notes: * To use all of the features of Linaro eglibc, the sysroot in 32-bit toolchain release is updated to Linaro eglibc, which is 2.17. If you get runtime errors about libc version, please get the sysroot from the release tarball (gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.07-1_linux/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc/) or download from launchpad https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/support/01/+download/linaro… If you do not want to use Linaro sysroot, you'd add option to gcc to find your sysroot: --sysroot=<directory> * To run 32-bit application built from arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain in aarch64 system, you'd copy sysroot and runtime from release package to your root of aarch64 system. i,e. scp -r gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.07-1_linux/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc/* AARCH64-SYSTEM:/ scp -r gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.07-1_runtime/* AARCH64-SYSTEM:/

== Progress == * Pointer mangling Aarch64 glibc. Posted patch on pointer mangling. Worked on review comments from maintainer. Tested on V8 foundation model. == Plan == - Continue working on review comments for Pointer Guard support in Aarch64 glibc, - Continue Cbuildv2. - Investigate PGO for Aarch64. == Issues == Waiting for feedback on libssp machine descriptions changes.

== Issues == * None == Progress == * One day off (Dec. 27). * Prepare toolchain binaries release - Backport the newlib patches for ftruncate() and truncate() stubs - Test and update binutils version to linaro-2.24-2013.12 and workaround gold compile fail issue. * Retest -fira-loop-pressure performance on cortex-m4. But get regression in several suites of eembc-v1. Will re-investigate it when aarch64 performance test is ready since it is enabled in ia64 and rs6000, and the comment says: /* Numerous experiment shows that IRA based loop pressure calculation works better for RTL loop invariant motion on targets with enough (>= 32) registers. It is an expensive optimization. So it is on only for peak performance. */ * R/M toolchain related work. == Plan == * Linaro toolchain binaries 2013.12 release

bad code generation on aarch64 in aarch64_output_mi_thunk

by Matthias Klose

Hi, seen in a segfault running the tests in the coinor-osi package, https://launchpad.net/bugs/1263576, both in saucy and trusty, version 0.106.4 and 0.106.5. Version 0.103 doesn't show the issue. both the 4.7 and 4.8 linaro branches show this behaviour, and trunk 20131121 (didn't build a newer one yet). William Grant tracked that down to a bug with very negative vcall_offsets in aarch64 multiple inheritance thunks. The example below has two consecutive thunks, with the second adding 263 instead of subtracting 264. aarch64_build_constant seems to not handle negative integers. He tried a quick gcc patch to avoid using aarch64_build_constant, and the coinor-osi tests succeed. 0000000000401ca4 <_ZTv0_n256_N1C2adEv>: 401ca4: f9400010 ldr x16, [x0] 401ca8: f8500211 ldr x17, [x16,#-256] 401cac: 8b110000 add x0, x0, x17 401cb0: 17fffff9 b 401c94 <_ZN1C2adEv> [...] 0000000000401cc4 <_ZTv0_n264_N1C2aeEv>: 401cc4: f9400010 ldr x16, [x0] 401cc8: d28020f1 mov x17, #0x107 // #263 401ccc: f8716a11 ldr x17, [x16,x17] 401cd0: 8b110000 add x0, x0, x17 401cd4: 17fffff8 b 401cb4 <_ZN1C2aeEv> Any chance for a quick 2013 review?

== Progress == * Lots of little changes to the Jenkins configure files and Cbuildv2 so Jenkins can do a builds in a 32 bit chroot. (4/10) * Misc - meetings and misc tasks (2/10). * Helped with binutils & GCC releases. 4/10) * New Arndale Octa arrived. == Plan == * Get back to adding the neon intrinsics tests to the GCC testsuite. * More Jenkins hacking for 32bit chroot builds. * More hacking on binary release automation. * Review Kugan's benchmarking support in Cbuildv2. == Issues == * Loosing ssh access to many of the machines we work on is a problem... == Leave == * A bit complicated. On the road till Jan 13, offline some, mixed with some work days depending on the weather. Should have email access most nights.
