Hello, # Linaro CI's GDB testsuite results * Implemented new version of change in the Abe shell script to correctly set auto-load-safe-path so that GDB can load libthread_db.so.1. Since GDB's configure script needs to be passed an argument containing literal dollar signs, use '@@' instead of '$' to avoid the shell misinterpreting it and substitute at the point of use. This version worked and was merged to the Abe repo. * Implemented and merged change in the Abe shell script to set variables pointing to language-specific target tools only if they are present in the path. This fixes Ada test failures in the GDB testsuite. * Implemented and merged improvement to our tcwg_gnu-build.sh script to allow specifying on the command line the Abe repo and branch to use. # [GNU-767] Support changing SVE vector length in remote debugging * Analysed and fixed a couple more regressions in my branch. -- Thiago

[ACTIVITY] report week ending 1 Jul

by Peter Maydell

Progress: * UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership] - Code review (misc, plus another round on the SME patchset) - KVM Forum programme committee work * QEMU-422 [QEMU Arm Neoverse V1 vCPU for TCG] - Wrote and sent patches that deal with the last of the "small and uninteresting" dependencies of the V1 support epic (this one covers Feat_DoubleLock, which lets guest OSes suppress debug events as part of their power-down-a-CPU sequence) -- PMM

qemu meeting status

by Richard Henderson

Hi guys. I just realized that today's meeting will be right in the middle of dinner plans. I'll organize better next week. Anyway, here's my status: - Fourth SME patch set -- parts merged, and some bugs fixed. - Base/arm-compat portion of semihosting rewrite now upstream. Target-specific bits for m68k, mips, nios2, xtensa outstanding. - Almost done with FEAT_HAFDBS (hardware access/dirty updates). Big changes to ptw.c to make that work: 50+ patches. The reorg should make FEAT_RME easier though. r~

[ACTIVITY] Report for weeks #24 and #25

by Thiago Jung Bauermann

Hello, I just noticed that I didn't send a report for week #24. Sorry about that. For that reason, this report covers two weeks. # Linaro CI's GDB testsuite results * Submitted upstream patch fixing gdb_compile regexp to account for our GNATMAKE_FOR_TARGET value containing spaces. This should solve the Ada test failures in our CI. * Fixed the Abe shell script to correctly set auto-load-safe-path so that GDB can load libthread_db.so.1. Unfortunately the CI detected a problem with using the generated manifest to reproduce the toolchain build, so I'm back to the drawing board on this one. * Sent a Gerrit change request for the Abe script updating it to use release 12's branch and tag for GDB and gdbserver, and another one removing a workaround for a build problem fixed in GDB 9. * Sent a Gerrit change request for tcwg-dev-build.sh fixing a couple of issues I found when using it to build and test GDB. # [GNU-767] Support changing SVE vector length in remote debugging * Analysed and fixed a couple more regressions in my branch. # Misc * Attended a few online sessions from Linaro San Francisco Get Together. * Sent Gerrit change request updating the TCWG script that generates our SSH known_hosts file to include the Ed25519 host keys, which are now preferred in Ubuntu 22.04. * Was out one day due to “Corpus Christi” public holiday. -- Thiago

[ACTIVITY] Report for week #23

by Thiago Jung Bauermann

Hello, # [GNU-767] Support changing SVE vector length in remote debugging * Debugged and fixed a few issues in my code where gdbserver was having trouble with setting the target description for new threads. Also fixed regressions in a couple more testcases. # Linaro CI's GDB testsuite results * Luis commented on IRC that the GDB testsuite results from the Linaro CI seemed a bit high with about 540 failures, so I set out to investigate. The two biggest sources of failures are: 1. Ada tests were failing because they can't build their test executables. This is expected because we don't have the Ada compiler in the CI, but normally these testcases would just bail out as unsupported. Found out that there was a regex in the GDB testsuite that was (IMHO) too strict for our particular setup and fixed it. 2. All CTF tests are failing. The compiler in the CI seems to be building test executables with CTF debug info, so we do seem to have a problem there. The CI's GDB is also not loading libthread_db.so because of a GDB security setting, so I fixed that as well and expect some more tests to pass now. I still haven't submitted my fixes for 1. to upstream and for the libthread_db.so.1 issue to our CI scripts because I'm still working with jenkins-scripts and Abe to reproduce the CI environment to verify the fixes. -- Thiago

[ACTIVITY] report week ending 10 Jun

by Peter Maydell

Progress: * UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership] - This week was almost entirely code review and similar upstream tasks - managed to review all the preliminary parts of the SME patchset - reviewed several other refactoring series from rth - reviewed a big PS/2 keyboard emulation refactoring patchset - prep for KVM Forum program committee session * QEMU-422 [QEMU Arm Neoverse V1 vCPU for TCG] - FEAT_RASv1p1 and FEAT_DoubleFault now upstream -- PMM

[ACTIVITY] Report for week #22

by Thiago Jung Bauermann

Hello, # [GNU-767] Support changing SVE vector length in remote debugging * Debugged and fixed issues in my code where gdbserver was in some cases trying to read inferior registers before aarch64_target was fully initialised, and also while the inferior thread was running. This improved reliability but there are still some testsuite regressions to look into. # Sourceware bug 28561 - [gdb/testsuite] Error due to not reading \r\n at end of mi prompt * Posted comment to the bug report summarising my current results. * Tried to reproduce the bug using the upstream v5.3 kernel (since I was able to see it with openSUSE Leap's v5.3 kernel), but failed. Still trying to understand what that implies. -- Thiago

[ACTIVITY] report week ending 31 May

by Peter Maydell

Progress (covers two half-weeks): * UM-2 [QEMU upstream maintainership] - investigating a reported bug with semihosting syscalls over gdbstub - reviewed a massive series from RTH refactoring our SVE code in preparation for handling SME * QEMU-422 [QEMU Arm Neoverse V1 vCPU for TCG] - looking at exactly what FEAT_RASv1p1 and FEAT_DoubleFault require of a minimal RAS implementation like QEMU's - sent a patch implementing FEAT_RASv1p1 (a no-op for QEMU) - sent a patch implementing FEAT_DoubleFault (turns out to be simpler than I initially feared it might be) -- PMM
