== Progress == * ARM Process Record: [TCWG-336] [TCWG-338] [TCWG-339][TCWG-317] [TCWG-315] - Configured and learnt to use git format-patch and git send-email. [1/10] - Incorporated and tested changes suggested by maintainers in previous arm process record patches. [2/10] - Created a new patch series indicating bug fixes separate from features. [1/10] - Submitted version 2 of arm process record replay improvements. * Debugging of stepping over and single stepping heurisitic code. [TCWG-315] [4/10] * Review of open JIRA cards and pending patches [1/10] * Time off for setting up new office space. [0.5/10] * Macau visa information gathering and document preparation [0.5/10] == Plan == * Reverse engineering stepping code heuristics in gdb to find a fix for reverse debugging of solib code on arm. [TCWG-315] * Find and submit a new fix for TCWG-267. * New office space setup and Macau visa application, will be away from my desk for few hours.

by Bernhard Rosenkränzer

Just before having to rename it to 2014, the Linaro Toolchain and Builds and Baselines Working Groups are pleased to announce the 2013.12 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 2013.12 * Linaro GDB 7.6.1 2013.12 * Linaro Binutils 2.24 2013.12 * 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: * Binutils has been updated to 2.24, bringing many improvements * Various bugs have been fixed 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.

[ACTIVITY] Week 52

by Zhenqiang Chen

== 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

== Progress == * ARM Process Record made the changes pointed out in maintainers comments. [3/10] [TCWG-336] [TCWG-338] [TCWG-339] - Put the new bug fixes patches on hold as they can be sent in the same series.[TCWG-317] [TCWG-315] * Time off for setting up new office space. [4/10] - Found a good room for office in a central location, need to get internet and other stuff working before shifting. I will get started on that once I get the possession of the space next week. * Time off for Macau visa information [1/10] * 25th December Public Holiday [2/10] == Plan == * ARM Process Record: - Create new patches as per maintainers suggestions, incorporating bug fixes as separate patches in the list. - Test and send all patches upstream. * New office space setup, will be away from my desk for few hours.

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?

by Rob Savoye

== 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.
