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

Linaro GCC CrossCompiler for ARMv8 - Weak Linkage issue

by Veena & Deepak Ramaswamy

All, Using the tool chain that comes with the FVP package that I downloaded last month (Oct 2017), I'm trying to compile the Splash2 benchmark to execute on the latest FVP platform and seeing a compilation issue that goes like this (please see below) To reproduce: 1. download the benchmark from here and follow _all_ the instructions in the homepage: http://www.capsl.udel.edu/splash/Download.html 2. edit the makefile.config under /splash2/codes to use linaro toolchain and choose POSIX_BARRIER for the MACROS section (I've pasted my makefile.config here as well - you will have to modify the toolchain paths to suit your setup) 3. cd to splash2/codes/apps/ocean/contiguous_partitions 4. make (and you will see the problem) Please help. Thanks. ------------------------------------------ /local/mnt/workspace/linaro/tools/gcc/gcc-linaro-6.2.1-2016.11-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc jacobcalc.o jacobcalc2.o laplacalc.o linkup.o main.o multi.o slave1.o slave2.o subblock.o -v -O3 -pthread -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wredundant-decls -Wdisabled-optimization -Wpadded -Winline -Wpointer-arith -Wsign-compare -Wendif-labels -lgcc -lc -lm -static -o OCEAN -lm -lc -lgcc -static Using built-in specs.

aarch64 toolchain support NEON and vfp features

by Joy Deng

Hi , I am a SW engineer that use Linaro-toolchain to build images, Recently, I encounter some issue about enable NEON features on ARMv8 processor platform. I cat cpuinfo, can not find neon and vfp feature enable in list, the image was build with aarch-64 toolchian; While, the image built by armv7l toolchain can list "neon and vfp" in cpuinfo. I want to verify from your side, 1. if the toolchain of aarch64 version already enable" neon and vfp " in default, Because I do not find some build items that related with "neon", 2. If not supported defaultly, can you give some suggestion to enable it. Thanks & B.R. Joy Deng

by Christophe Lyon

== Progress == * GCC - FDPIC: started reading docs and looking at patches - Neon intrinsics PR71233: duplicates will be removed from the next doc update * GCC upstream validation: - since ubsan merge with upstream, validation of arm targets is now broken. Switching back to qemu-2.7 seems to avoid qemu deadlocks, but there are still new asan test failures after the merge. - reduced the dejagnu timeout to avoid global 'make check' timeouts, but this caused some testcases to become zombies, in turn causing problems in the ST compute farm. - validation on-hold until next so that I can experiment a bit more with workarounds - reported another qemu bug - reported a couple of regressions/breakages in binutils * Infrastructure: * misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ....) == Next == * GCC upstream validation * GCC/ubsan * GCC/FDPIC * Short week (off Wed/Thu/Fri)

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 5.5-2017.10-rc1

by Mark Murray

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release-Candidate GCC 5.5-2017.10-rc1 The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 5.5-2017.10-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: (sources) http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/5.5-2017.10-rc1/ (binaries) http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.5-2017.10-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/ A description of the arm and AArch64 target triples can be found at: https://collaborate.linaro.org/display/TCWGPUB/ARM+and+AArch64+Target+Tripl… 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 5.5-2017.10-rc1 http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/5.5-2017.10-rc1/ Linaro glibc 2.21 (linaro/2.21) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2015-02/msg00001.html Linaro newlib 2.1.0-2014.09 (linaro_newlib-branch) https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2013/msg01128.html Linaro binutils 2.25 (linaro_binutils-2_25-branch) https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob_plain;f=bin… FSF GDB 7.12 (gdb-7.12-branch) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2016-10/msg00007.html Linaro toolchain package git branches are hosted at: http://git.linaro.org/toolchain NEWS for GCC 5 (as of Linaro GCC 5.5-2017.10-rc1) ================================================== * Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2575: ICE: declaration and definition of function with __attribute__((target("thumb"))) and inlined assembler, with debug symbols enabled https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2575 * Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2575: Internal compiler error using -mtune=cortex-a57.cortex-a53. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2785 * The soft-float targeted toolchains have now been configured to generate code using -mfloat-abi=soft. This makes arm-linux-gnueabi and armeb-linux-gnueabi toolchains use the “soft” FP ABI instead of “softfp”. Historically, TCWG’s toolchains provided both “soft” and “softfp” multilibs, but when switching from crosstool-ng to cbuildv2/abe (which support a single multilib) “softfp” multilib was choosen. Using “-mfloat-abi=soft” is a better choice for a gnueabi toolchain, since it doesn’t require cores to have a floating-point unit. This change should not break compatibility for toolchain users since the ABI will stay the same. The compiler and glibc libraries will not refernce FP instructions. * Include GCC fix for Linaro bugzilla #2562: ARM GCC 5.2 call weak function instead of strong when called through pointer https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2562 * 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 * Backported glibc patch to simplify static malloc interposition [BZ #20432] to correct user identified issue. commit 058b5a41d56b9a8860dede14d97dd443792d064b Author: Florian Weimer Date: Fri Aug 26 22:40:27 2016 +0200 malloc: Simplify static malloc interposition [BZ #20432] * Host binaries for x86_64 linux hosts now have symbols and debug information stripped in order to reduce the size of the toolchain binary archives. This reduces the archive size from 1.1G to 580M for aarch64-linux-gnu target with the gcc-5-branch. * Removed .la files from binary toolchain archive as these files break autotools builds. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2764 * The mingw toolchains are now archived using the rsync -L option in order to avoid problems with Windows extractors and symbolic links. https://review.linaro.org/#/c/16415/ This resolves the following user bugs: https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2684 https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2192 https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2762 * 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.

# Progress # * TCWG-1040, [4/10] Update my patches to remove the last use of MAX_REGISTER_SIZE. Before I send them upstream, I find some bits that I can improve, but finally, many things are changed. Need to get them in shape, and think about the design again. * TCWG-1125, [4/10] ARMv8 tagged address support in GDB. GDB/GDBserver needs to remove the top one byte of virtual address before pass it to kernel. Patch v1 was reviewed, and GDB internal caching needs updated for tagged address, because tagged address and non-tagged address should be mapped to the same cache entry in GDB. * GDB flexible target description conversion [1/10] Finished the conversion for tic6x and nios2. To be posted. * ILP32 GDB branch. [1/10] Got Steve Ellcey's patches, one bfd patch and one gdb patch. No GDBserver patches. Will create branch with them. # Plan # * ILP32 GDB branch. * ARMv8 tagged address support in GDB. * Update my patches to remove the last use of MAX_REGISTER_SIZE. -- Yao Qi

[ANNOUNCE] Linaro GCC 6 and 7 2017.10 source snapshots

by Mark Murray

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group (TCWG) is pleased to announce the 2017.10 snapshot of Linaro GCC 6 and 7 source packages. o The GCC 7 series introduced an ABI change for ARM targets by fixing a bug (present since GCC 5, see link below) that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS). The bug affects some C++ code where class objects are passed by value to functions and could result in incorrect or inconsistent code being generated. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected by this ABI change. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728 For an explanation of the changes please see the following website: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html o Linaro GCC 7 monthly snapshot[1] is based on FSF GCC 7.2+svn253626 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC. The contents of this snapshot will be part of the 2017.11 stable[2] quarterly release. This snapshot tarball is available on: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/7.2-2017.10/ Interesting changes in this GCC source package snapshot include: * Updates to GCC 7.2+svn253626 o Linaro GCC 6 monthly snapshot[1] is based on FSF GCC 6.4+svn253668 and includes performance improvements and bug fixes backported from mainline GCC. This snapshot contents will be part of the next maintenance release. This snapshot tarball is available on: http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/6.4-2017.10/ Interesting changes in this GCC source package snapshot include: * Updates to GCC 6.4+svn253668 o Subscribe to the important Linaro mailing lists and join our IRC channels to stay on top of Linaro development. ** Linaro Toolchain Development "mailing list": http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain ** Linaro Toolchain IRC channel on irc.freenode.net at @#linaro-tcwg@ * Bug reports should be filed in bugzilla against GCC product: http://bugs.linaro.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GCC * Interested in commercial support? inquire at "Linaro support": mailto:support@linaro.org [1]. Source package snapshots are defined when the compiler is only put through unit-testing and full validation is not performed. [2]. Stable source package releases are defined as releases where the full Linaro Toolchain validation plan is executed.
