Hi, * finished changing libunwind to be more portable * tested patchset on ARM and X86_64 * now builds on Android without modifications (Android.mk, config.h and libunwind-common.h are still required) * verified that the modified debuggerd still works * discussed backtracing using libunwind on ARM with Harald from the BSC * they use libunwind in a sampling tool that generates Paraver tracefiles * started to upgrade my Linaro Android environment and ran into issues * need to check: * why building the toolchain using linaro-build.sh fails * why repo sync fails due to invalid platform/bionic SHA1 * what happened to LEB-panda.xml Regards Ken

(filed as LP:883133) * qemu now has a coroutine implementation which defaults to using makecontext() if it is present. Unfortunately ARM eglibc provides an implementation which always returns ENOSYS, which is a bit tricky to detect with a compile time configure check (without breaking cross-compilation support). * these two things (and some other known bugs) mean that QEMU on ARM hosts is basically broken, and will probably continue to be since we don't have the spare resource to test and fix bugs (beyond those which we need to fix for KVM-on-ARM)

* Looked at how to configure Firefox and how to build different parts of the program. Usage of .mozconfig, myrules.mk and myconfig.mk. * Tested the Talos framework. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Buildbot/Talos. I think it would be good to use Talos for the browsing benchmarks. We can discuss it further at connect. * Preparing for connect. Best Regards Åsa

[ACTIVITY] WW42

by Zhenqiang Chen

Summary: * Exercise crosstool-ng and summarize the gaps. Details: * Exercise crosstool-ng (1) Sync with lp:~linaro-toolchain-dev/crosstool-ng/linaro. (2) Try to config linux-host-baremental-target an mingw32-host-baremental-target. (3) Try to build the toolchain for both embedded toolchain and linaro-gcc-4.6-2011.10 with the config. . C compiler for linux and mingw32 hosts and c++ compiler for linux host can be built without any change. . C++ compiler for mingw32 host can be built after PCH is disabled. . GDB-cross build fail due to dependence packages. * Gaps in crosstool-ng (1) Improve GDB-cross scripts to download and build the dependence packages: expat and ncurses. Or put expat and ncurses as companion_libraries. (2) To remove dependence, embedded toolchain requires more prerequisites like zlib. New config and scripts are required to support the packages. (3) Currently, the embedded toolchain source packages are released as a tarball, which includes gcc, gmp, etc. New scripts are required to support it. (4) To make sure the toolchain can run with lower version glibc like redhat4/5, the embedded toolchain requires lower version native gcc4.3.6 to build it. To support it, . Users can build the native gcc manually, or . Enhance the scripts to add one step to build native gcc. (5) All the default package configurations are different from embedded toolchain internal build scripts. Since the configurations in embedded toolchain had been tuned and tested, we will change the configurations in crosstool-ng if they do not match and not configurable. The same rule will apply for linaro toolchain. Plans: * Write scripts to re-pack the embedded toolchain source packages. * Add the supports for all prerequisites in crosstool-ng menuconfig. Thanks! -Zhenqiang

[ACTIVITY] 24th - 28th October

by Andrew Stubbs

Posted a patch upstream to fix big-endian for generic tuning. This was a simple omission from my previous patches. Merged GCC 4.6.2 to Linaro GCC. It's still in testing now, so I'll have to commit it sometime over the weekend or next week. Looked at the benchmark results from Spec2000 running on both A8 and A9 systems, with and with NEON, and with various compiler options. Posted the results in a spreadsheet (visible within Linaro only). Begun making adjustments to generic tuning and started new spec2k runs to see if they are beneficial. First, I'm trying A9 prefetch settings on A8 to see how much damage it does. Next I'll try enabling the A8 NEON tuning settings on A9 to see what happens there. Prepared for travel next week. Vacation Friday

Toolchain Connect sessions

by Michael Hope

Hi there. Connect is just around the corner. Have a look at: https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/Q4.11Plans for a summary of the toolchain sessions and hacking topics. It would be great to have kernel and OCTO input in the ARM STM driver, Kernel debugging, and KVM sessions. -- Michael

Toolchain performance call during connect.

by Ramana Radhakrishnan

Hi Folks, Draft agenda for the performance meeting next week at Connect - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/+spec/linaro-toolchain-performa… Are there any topics that people would like to bring up during this meeting other than the ones listed here ? I suspect that we'll probably just have about 10-15 minutes for a topic in this case. I am not considering discussing PGO related stuff in this session given that we've got another session in which we can discuss this. Thoughts ? cheers Ramana

Performance improvements hacking time at Connect Q4.11

by Ramana Radhakrishnan

Hi Folks, I've been trying to capture what we want to do in terms of hacking time and some of the performance related backlog that we have in the system. I have done so here. https://wiki.linaro.org/RamanaRadhakrishnan/Sandbox/Q411ConnectGCCPerfPlan I'm on vacation tomorrow but should be picking email for sometime during the day. Thoughts about what else we could be doing in this area or if there's a better way we could use our hacking time. cheers Ramana ---

Building gcc-linaro 4.6 2011.10 on ubuntu 11.10 32bit for cortex-a9

by Bruno Niklaus

hi@all i try to build the linaro-gcc on a ubuntu host 11.10 32 bit for a cortex a9. but it doenst build to the end. this is the first time ever i try to build a toolchain on my own, so excuse me if its just a beginner-mistake. somebody has any idea? configured like this *./configure --target=arm-linux-gnueabi --disable-bootstrap --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-mode=thumb --with-arch=armv7-a --with-tune=cortex-a9 --with-fpu=neon --with-float=softfp --prefix=/home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10* * * no errors when configuring, but it fails during building with this error: *checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: in `/home/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10_src/arm-linux-gnueabi/libgcc': * *configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile* *See `config.log' for more details.* *make[1]: *** [configure-target-libgcc] Fehler 1* *make[1]: Verlasse Verzeichnis '/home/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10_src'* *make: *** [all] Fehler 2* when i check the ./arm-linux-gnueabi/libgcc/config.log the errors which return 1 are: *configure:3028: /home/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10_src/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/xgcc -B/home/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10_src/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/ -B/home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ -B/home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/ -isystem /home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/include -isystem /home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/sys-include -V >&5* *xgcc: error: unrecognized option '-V'* *xgcc: fatal error: no input files* *compilation terminated.* *configure:3039: $? = 1* *configure:3028: /home/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10_src/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/xgcc -B/home/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10_src/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/ -B/home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ -B/home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/ -isystem /home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/include -isystem /home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/sys-include -qversion >&5* *xgcc: error: unrecognized option '-qversion'* *xgcc: fatal error: no input files* *compilation terminated.* *configure:3039: $? = 1* *configure:3055: /home/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10_src/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/xgcc -B/home/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10_src/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/ -B/home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ -B/home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/ -isystem /home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/include -isystem /home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/sys-include -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c >&5* */home/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10_src/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/as: line 87: exec: -m: invalid option* *exec: usage: exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [arguments ...]] [redirection ...]* *configure:3058: $? = 1* *configure:3246: checking for suffix of object files* *configure:3268: /home/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10_src/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/xgcc -B/home/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10_src/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/ -B/home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ -B/home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/ -isystem /home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/include -isystem /home/user/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10/arm-linux-gnueabi/sys-include -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5* */home/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10_src/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/as: line 87: exec: -m: invalid option* *exec: usage: exec [-cl] [-a name] [command [arguments ...]] [redirection ...]* *configure:3272: $? = 1* *configure: failed program was:* *| /* confdefs.h */* *| #define PACKAGE_NAME "GNU C Runtime Library"* *| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "libgcc"* *| #define PACKAGE_VERSION "1.0"* *| #define PACKAGE_STRING "GNU C Runtime Library 1.0"* *| #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""* *| #define PACKAGE_URL "http://www.gnu.org/software/libgcc/"* *| /* end confdefs.h. */* *| * *| int* *| main ()* *| {* *| * *| ;* *| return 0;* *| }* *configure:3286: error: in `/home/bruno/pandaboard/linaro/gcc-linaro-4.6-2011.10_src/arm-linux-gnueabi/libgcc': * *configure:3289: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile* *See `config.log' for more details.*
