[ANNOUNCE] Linaro Binary Toolchain Release GCC 7.4-2019.02

by Mark Murray

The Linaro Binary Toolchain ============================ The Linaro GCC 7.4-2019.02 Release is now available. *Notice*: GCC 7.1 ABI change for arm*-*-* targets, and note for aarch64*-*-* targets >From GCC 7.1 release notes: On ARM targets (arm*-*-*), a bug introduced in GCC 5 that affects conformance to the procedure call standard (AAPCS) has been fixed. 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. This is an ABI change. If the option -Wpsabi is enabled (on by default) the compiler will emit a diagnostic note for code that might be affected. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77728 GCC 5 and GCC 6 releases will continue to be affected by the ABI bug, since changing ABI in these releases is not practical. A warning enabled by -Wpsabi option was added to GCC 5 and GCC 6 toolchains to diagnose codebases that might be affected by the ABI bug. Additionally, this same bug was present in AArch64 backend in development versions of GCC 7. There was no releases of GCC with this bug present in AArch64 backend, therefore the release notes does not mention this. However, be advised that any code bases built with development versions of GCC 7 need to be recompiled with released version of GCC 7 to conform to ABI. For an explanation of GCC 7 series changes please see the following website: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html For help in porting to GCC 7 please see the following explanation: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/porting_to.html Download release packages from: (sources) http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/7.4-2019.02/ (binaries) http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.4-2019.02/ 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 7.4-2019.02 http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/7.4-2019.02/ FSF glibc 2.25 (release/2.25) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2017-02/msg00002.html Newlib 2.5 (newlib-2_5_0 tag) https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2016/msg01191.html GNU Binutils 2.28 (users/linaro/binutils-2_28-branch) https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob_plain;f=bin… FSF GDB 8.2 (gdb-8.2-branch) https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2018-09/msg00001.html Linaro toolchain package git branches are hosted at: http://git.linaro.org/toolchain NEWS for GCC 7 (as of Linaro GCC 7.4-2019.02) ============================================== * Runtest and gdbserver are no longer installed in the toolchain bin/ directory. Binary releases no longer include runtest at all, and gdbserver is a target tool; it is now shipped in the sysroot under usr/bin/. LDTS case #2211: gdbserver and runtest in GCC binary release are in the wrong place or have the wrong name * Gdbserver is no longer linked statically, because this is currently unsupported. Linaro bugzilla #3344: gdbserver broken in Linaro 2017.02 https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3344 * The Linaro GCC 7.4-2019.01 snapshot added a fix for Linaro bug 4007: "Internal compiler error with -mcpu=thunderx2t99". * The Linaro GCC 7.2-2017.09 snapshot added float and integer moves improvement for AArch64 targets. * The Linaro GCC 7.1-2017.07 snapshot added prefetching configuration improvement for AArch64 targets and laid groundwork to enabling prefetching in more cases. * Previous MinGW hosted version of Linaro GCC C preprocessor failed to convert character set used for string, character constants, etc. This is fixed in this release. Linaro bugzilla #3040 : CC1 and cc1plus cannot convert UTF-8. https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3040 * Performance related backports from the following snapshots have been included: Linaro GCC 7.1-2017.05, Linaro GCC 7.1-2017.06, Linaro GCC 7.1-2017.07, Linaro GCC 7.2-2017.08, Linaro GCC 7.2-2017.09, Linaro GCC 7.2-2017.10, Linaro GCC 7.2-2018.04 and Linaro GCC 7.4-2019.01.

Any 4.8.5 cross compile toolchain?

by xinliang

Hi Martin and Linaro-toolchain team, We want to use 4.8.5 cross compile toolchain to build ko. But we can't find such version on the release site[1]. Is there a 4.8.5 cross compile toolchain? [1] https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/gcc-linaro/ Best, Xinliang

[LLVM-521] LLD and taking the address of an ifunc Went through the possible combinations (pic, pie, non-pic, exec, shared,...) found one relocation that gcc uses that clang doesn't, hence mc and LLD don't support. Raised upstream pr. Also found that clang's code-sequence for -fpie doesn't seem to guarantee ifunc pointer equivalence when linking -fpie (non-got generating sequence used when ifunc is in same translation unit). Will need some further investigation to confirm. [LLVM-499] Support for linking the linux kernel Committed -pic-veneer support and associated overflow fix, now merged to 8.0 branch. Other: - Started work on Fosdem presentation on LLD performance. Studying ld.bfd and ld.gold source code to look for structural differences between them and LLD. - Submitted presentation for next Linaro Connect - Review for comdat group and unused section elimination. - On buildbot duty.

Progress: * VIRT-65 [QEMU upstream maintainership] + some code review, and another arm pull-request (including RTH's pointer auth work) + sent patch fixing a bug in the gdbstub memory access path that meant it was always making accesses as NonSecure even if the guest CPU was currently Secure + sent patch fixing checkpatch to not wrongly complain about block comments starting "/**" * VIRT-268 [QEMU support for dual-core Cortex-M Musca board] + I have a model of the SSE-200 subsystem used by the Musca board, and a model of the MPS2 AN521 FPGA image which uses it. (Since it is basically "our existing MPS2 AN505 model, but with SSE-200 rather than IoTKit" it's a useful stepping stone to the Musca board.) There are still some bugs and missing features, but it seems to mostly be functional (it can run the ARM Trusted Firmware M test binary.) thanks -- PMM

== Progress == * FDPIC - (GNU-411) GDB: gdbserver did not start because of a qemu-user feature. Worked around it. * GCC upstream validation: - reported a few regressions - dealing with some random results, still - qemu-3.1 memory consumption. Got some clarifications from IT team about LSF reports.. It seems qemu-3.1 consumes more memory in some cases, though. * GCC: - (GNU-99) rebased ubsan / bare-metal patches. No progress. - (GNU-597) Fixed arm testcase. - PR 85596 committed doc fix * misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ....) - reviewing/submitted infra script patches - dealing with nasty ST-internal infrastructure problems - (GNU-592): improved benchmarking scripts - experimenting with new build servers - ran Linaro binary toolchain tests on gcc-arm release, filled a few bug reports == Next == FDPIC: - GCC: handle feedback on v4 patches - GDB: update patches - uclibc-ng: look at how to test fdpic mode with openadk Validation: - isolate if/why qemu-3.1.0-rc3 consumes more memory than 2.11 for aarch64-linux target
