[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 5.4-2017.01-rc1

by Ryan Arnold

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 5.4-2017.01-rc1 Release-Candidate is now available. Notice: All Linaro GCC 5 series toolchain users should migrate to the latest version of the Linaro GCC 5 toolchain in order to mitigate potential security exposure to CVE-2015-7547. See the NEWS section below for details. Download release-candidate packages from: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/5.4-2017.01-rc1/ http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.4-2017.01-rc1/ Previous snapshots and release-candidates are at: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/ Previous releases are at: http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/ Host Requirements ================== Linaro officially supports the current and previous Ubuntu LTS releases (as of the time of this release). This does not mean that the toolchain will not work on other/older Linux distributions. See the following for the life-time of Ubuntu LTS releases. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases The host system upon which the cross-compiler will run requires a minimum of glibc 2.14, because of API changes to glibc's memcpy API. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1869 Package Versions ================= Linaro GCC 5.4-2017.01-rc1 Linaro glibc 2.21 (linaro/2.21) Linaro newlib 2.1.0-2014.09 (linaro_newlib-branch) Linaro binutils 2.25 (linaro_binutils-2_25-branch) FSF GDB 7.12 (gdb-7.12-branch) Linaro toolchain package git branches are hosted at: http://git.linaro.org/?a=project_list&s=toolchain%2F&btnS=Search NEWS for Linaro GCC 5.4-2017.01-rc1 ==================================== * Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #1925: [regression] FAIL: libgomp.fortran/retval1.f90 -O1 execution test https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1925 * Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2185: aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ internal compiler error: in curr_insn_transform https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2185 * Copy the libwinpthread DLL into the bin directories so it gets into the tmp directory before tar is run. https://review.linaro.org/#/c/13723/ * Increment binutils release date to 2016_02 to reflect the most recent commit: commit ef90a4718f535cbe6345b4e7168baea7b1972abf Author: Matthew Wahab <matthew.wahab(a)arm.com> Date: Tue Jan 12 16:35:30 2016 +0000 [ARM] Support ARMv8.2 RAS extension. * Baremetal sysroot names now contain 'newlib' rather than 'glibc'. * Manifests now contain relative paths rather than absolute paths. * Now generating proper manifest files. * Fixed pi requeue support in glibc 2.21 while allowing the existing 2.21 minimum kernel default setting. This was checked into the linaro/2.21/master branch. commit a68cafa11c500d8a49a3014c43c5152859d037ae Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella(a)linaro.org> Date: Tue May 17 10:16:39 2016 -0300 Add runtime check for __ASSUME_REQUEUE_PI (BZ# 18463) commit 6e5cb616b5b442ce8b2664ad673c0acf42a490ac Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella(a)linaro.org> Date: Mon May 16 19:01:10 2016 -0300 Remove __ASSUME_SET_ROBUST_LIST commit 9ac61c0047295696cbcdbc26bdc174c7bd25a3c8 Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella(a)linaro.org> Date: Mon May 16 10:35:25 2016 -0300 Remove __ASSUME_FUTEX_LOCK_PI * Backported support into GCC for Cortex-A32, Cortex-A35, and Cortex-R8. * Applied fix for CVE-2015-7547 - A stack-based buffer overflow in glibc's getaddrinfo() was corrected in glibc 2.23 and backported into glibc 2.21. https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-02/msg00416.html * ARMv8.1 Instruction Support - ARMv8.1 instructions support was checked into GCC and binutils. It has been backported into Linaro GCC 5.3 and Linaro binutils 2.25. * Backported -Bsymbolic-functions into Linaro binutils 2.25. * Performance related backports from Linaro GCC 5.2-2015.11, Linaro GCC 5.2-2015.12, and Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.01-1, Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.02, Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.03, Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.04, Linaro GCC 5.4-2016.06, Linaro GCC 5.4-2016.10 and Linaro GCC 5.4-2016.12 have been included.

[ACTIVITY] 3rd to 6th January 2017

by Peter Smith

== Activity == TCWG-919 Thunks to undefined symbols Now committed upstream TCWG-614 Long branch thunks Sent RFC to llvm-dev Have a good idea about how to proceed. First step is to rewrite existing implementation using synthetic sections. Currently thinking about the best way to do this. Wrote first draft of Fosdem 2017 presentation Booked travel for Fosdem Registered for Linaro Connect == Plans for next week == Linaro TCWG-614 Long branch thunks Aim to get a patch out for review for thunks as synthetic sections
